Saint Maurice

Maurice (died 286) was an Egyptian military leader who was said to have led the Roman Empire's Theban Legion. Maurice, along with the rest of the Legion totaling 6,666 men who had converted to Christianity, were martyred together in the Roman Switzerland outpost of Agaunum. Their deaths were considered to have made Agaunum hallowed ground and Maurice was later revered as a saint. By the 820s, an abbey had already been established in Agaunum and consecrated in his name.
