36. The ‘two Saint Valentines’ could have been the same man all along – at least that’s what some historians believe
Some historians, however, believe that the two Saint Valentines were actually one and the same man! For starters, all the records suggest that they lived around the same time, even if there are no reliable and exact dates given. What’s more, it’s believed that the Bishop of Terni would have had reason to travel to Rome on a regular basis, making it even more likely that the two Valentines were actually the same man. Certainly, the original historians of the Church seem to think this was the case – the official Roman Martyrology of the Catholic Church lists just one Saint Valentine.
