According to accounts, by the time Catherine was seventeen she had learned everything there was to know from the schools and libraries of Alexandria. In an effort to discredit her, Emperor Maxi minus, who was violently persecuting Christians, called forth fifty scholars to debate her, but she emerged victorious. Then he tried to seduce her, but she rejected him and was flung into prison. She was condemned to death by being broken on a spiked wheel, but when she was bound to it, the wheel broke and flew into many pieces which struck and killed her executioner and numerous spectators who had come to watch her die. She was finally beheaded with the sword at the age of eighteen.
