Alban

About the show

In Roman Verulamium, a Christian priest escapes arrest and seeks refuge at Alban’s home. Alban is preparing to move his family to Sarum, but shelters the priest and is moved by his message. When soldiers return, Alban disguises himself in the priest’s clothes and is arrested in his place. At trial, the governor’s wife presses for an immediate death sentence despite Claudia’s plea for forgiveness. The executioner refuses to kill Alban and is put to death; another soldier carries out the execution.
