I want to say that Catherine of Alexandria was the Libriarian
of Alexandria and was devoutly pagan until converted by 
some Bishop.  And she was martyred by being tied to chariots 
and pulled to itty bitty pieces.  Thus we get her symbol of
the Catherine Wheel.
Of course, I could be (and probably am) wrong.

who has misplaced his Book of Saints otherwise he 
would look up her acta.
