Pius I led the Roman church from around 140 until his death near 154, though records place the span as loosely as 142-161. His papacy coincided with the rise of Gnostic and Valentinian movements, and he worked to counter both. The Catholic Church names him a saint with a feast day on 11 July, but whether he died a martyr remains unknown - the details of his death, like much of his life, lost to the distance.
