Saint Alban of Mainz (b. unknown Greece or Albania; d. c. 406 in Mainz) was a priest missionary and martyr. Rabanus Maurus wrote in his Martyrology about Alban who was sent to Gallia as a missionary by Ambrose of Milan. In Mainz Alban helped bishop Aureus of Mainz to regain his bishopric. But in 406 during the Vandals crossing of the Rhine Aureus was slain and Alban was beheaded while praying.
