This page groups figures by where their own story says they came from. Wikipedia notes that an early Christian saint's life was typically recorded as "a biography or vita (Latin for 'life', which begins the title of most medieval biographies)." Browsing by place of origin lets a visitor find every figure whose recorded life begins in the same place.
