Bishop and martyr, fell prey to the political ambitions of the nobles of Lombardy, Italy. Alexander was the bishop of Fiesole, where he halted the encroachment of the nobles into affairs of the faith. When the nobles attempted to dictate Church matters and place their clients in positions of power, they faced Alexander. He defended the Church, and in revenge, the nobles had Alexander drowned near Bologna.
