Life

Little is known about the life of Peter of Narbonne either. He is said to have been close to the movement of the Observants , which began under Pauluccio von Trinci in Umbria around 1368, and this return to simplicity and the original rules of the order is also said to have been his motivation for life in the Holy Land. In the Holy Land, Peter of Narbonne was finally convinced, along with other confreres of Nikola Tavelić , to preach openly to the Muslims , although such an attempt at conversion to the Christian faith at that time in the Holy Land was threatened with death.

Peter of Narbonne appeared before the Qādī of Jerusalem on November 11, 1391 , with the consent of the Guardian Gerard Chalvet, together with his Franciscan brothers Stephan von Cúneo , Deodatus von Ruticinium and Nikola Tavelić , with the intention of obtaining permission to enter the Omar Mosque or to preach in the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. Their requests are said to have outraged the people and they were beaten up by the crowd, then arrested and thrown into dungeon and then sentenced to death. On November 14, 1391, they were martyred in Jerusalem by beheading with the sword. They were torn to pieces and burned in front of the Jaffa Gate in Jerusalem.

St. Peter of Narbonne and his companions were beatified in 1889 and finally on June 21, 1970 by Pope Paul VI. canonized. The canonization was delayed. a., because it was not clear whether the martyrdom was valid because the martyrs had caused it themselves.

The Four Martyrs Day is celebrated on November 14th.
