St Martyrs of Amorium Biography

The group of 42 Christian senior officials in the Byzantine empire that was captured by forces of the Abbasid Caliphate when the Muslim forces overran the city of Amorium, Phyrgia in 838 and massacred its population. The men were then imprisoned in Samarra, the seat of the Caliphate for seven years. It was originally thought to be held for ransom because of their high position in the empire, all the attempts to buy their freedom were denied. The Caliph repeatedly ordered them to convert to Islam while sending Islamic scholars to the prison to convince them. Their refusal finally made the Islams give up hence killing them.
