Pelagius of Cordova was a young Christian martyr who lived in the 10th century in Al-Andalus. Born around 912, he was held as a hostage by the Caliph Abd-ar-Rahman III for three years following a failed exchange for a Christian bishop. At age 13, the boy refused to convert to Islam or submit to the Caliph's advances, choosing instead to maintain his faith. His death in Córdoba around 926 led to his recognition as a saint in various Christian traditions.
