Albanus, a Pious Teacher at Mentz, in the Year 424

In the year 424, eleven years after the emperors Honorius and Theodosius had issued their bloody edict against the so-called Anabaptists, a pious teacher who, intending to spread abroad the name of Jesus Christ and proclaim the doctrines of the holy Gospel, had come to Mentz, was pitifully slain; as were also some others. Besides other authors, P. J. Twisck describes this in these words: "When Albanus preached Christ at Mentz, he was martyred, together with others." Chron., 5th book, page 149, column 2, from Hist. Andr. 143.
