Coloman of Stockerau was an Irish monk and pilgrim who lived at the turn of the 11th century. While traveling toward the Holy Land, he was apprehended near Vienna and mistaken for a spy due to his unfamiliar appearance. Because he could not communicate in the local language, he was unable to explain his intentions and was subsequently tortured and hanged in Stockerau in 1012. He is recognized as a saint in the Catholic, Anglican, and Orthodox traditions.
