One of my favorite fictional books is The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. I was thinking about it the other day when I remembered that the priory at Kingsbridge had relics from “St. Adolphus.” I became curious about who this saint was, so I did some searching around on the internet and came up with close to nothing. The only thing I can find is this from Catholic Online:
Martyrs of Spain, brothers. Both men were residents of Seville, the sons of an Islamic father and a Christian mother. Caught in the persecutions conducted by the Caliph of Córdoba, Abdal-Rahman II, Adolphus and John were martyred in Córdoba.

But that seems pretty “weak.” Does anyone have more information about Sts. Adolphus and John? There has got to be more than just this one paragraph about them.
