There is not a lot of information about her, but it is often stated that she was born into royalty and was an educated woman. The emperor began executing Christians, and she went to denounce him. Instead of ordering her execution, he ordered a debate. Her debate converted many listeners, and they were all executed almost immediately. Catherine was imprisoned and tortured. She was martyred in Alexandria, Egypt in 305.
