From what we could gather, the most common theory features the young priest Valentine, who continued to marry star-crossed lovers even after Roman Emperor Claudius II outlawed marriage for young men, believing single men made better soldiers. Valentine was arrested and condemned to death. While in prison he fell in love with a young woman who visited him, and sent her a love letter signed “from your Valentine.”
By the end of the Fifth century, Valentine’s tradition were outlawed as they were juged to be against Christian morality.

By the Middle Ages, Valentine’s Day had become linked to love and romance and this is when the French started to influence the tradition. Many people link Valentine's Day with France for mainly two reasons.
In both England and France, birds pair off and mate 'in the middle of February'. Since February 14 is exactly the middle of February, it is thought that people began celebrating this day as the special day for lovers because of this association with 'love' in nature.
The first Valentine's Day card (carte d'amities) is said to have been written by the young French Duke of Orleans to his wife from his imprisonment in the Tower of London. The greeting that was written in 1415 is part of the manuscript collection at the British Library in London.
