Paul and Ninety Companions
Dominican martyrs
Feast: 10 February (not on the universal Roman calendar; kept in the Roman Martyrology or local calendars)
Who they were
Paul and his companions (died 1240) were Dominican martyrs. Hungarian by birth, Paul went on to study law at the University of Bologna, and was persuaded by St. Dominic, to his order of Friars Preachers. Paul would later return to his native Hungary, to establish the Dominican Order there. The group were met with much animosity, especially by the Cumans, at Wallachia, where they were slaughtered by the locals.
