You are the only non spammy reference I could find for Benedicta of Sens. Where did it say in the train that she was crucified?

HUSBAND AND WIFE ARE CONDEMNED TO DIE BY COMBUSTIO LENTA FOR ARSON
INCENDIUM, the crime of setting any object on fire, by which the property of a manis endangered. It was thus a more general term than the modern Arson, which is limited to the act of wilfully and maliciously burning the property of another. The crime of incendium was the subject of one of the laws of the Twelve Tables, which inflicted a severe punishment on the person who set fire to property maliciously (sciens, prudens), but if it was done by accident (casu, id est, neglegentia). We accordingly find mention of execution by the sword, burning alive, condemnation to the mines and to public works, deportatio, relegatio,flogging, &c., as punishments inflicted on account of incendium.

PETRONILLAOF ROME CRUCIFIED AND TORTURED TO DEATH
Petronilla's grave as situated in the Via Ardeatina near Sts. Nereus and Achilleus. The excavations in the catacomb of Domitilla have completely confirmed these notices. The martyr's name was Aurelia Petronilla. The second name comes from Petro or Petronius, and, as the name of the great-grandfather ofthe Christian consul, Flavius Clemens, was Titus Flavius Petronius, it is very possible that Petronilla was a relative of the Christian Flavii, who were descended from the senatorial family of the Aurelii. This theory would also explain why Petronilla was buried in the catacomb of the Flavian Domitilla. Petronilla may have been executed by crucifixion during the persecution of Domitian, perhaps not till later.

MARTHA AND MARIA OF EGYPT ARE CONDEMNED TO DIE ON THE CROSS
The circumstances of Martha's and Maria's martyrdom are not clear; neither the year nor the location is certain. Some sources claim that it happened in Egypt. Martha and Maria suffered together with a young man whose name is given as Lycarion or Bycarion, and who is in some sources called “a boy”, in others their younger brother or a novice monk. But all sources, agree that, during one of the Roman persecutions, the two Christian virgins Martha and Maria gave themselves up to the Roman authorities. The governor had them crucified.The two sisters did not die quickly. In the end, the guards dispatched them with their swords, either out of mercy or impatience.

JULITTA OF TARSU TORTURED WITH IRON HOOKS
Julitta lived in the city of Iconium in the province of Lykaoneia in Asia Minor. She descended from an illustrious family and was a Christian. Widowed early on, she raised her three-year old-son Kyrikos. During the emperor Diocletian’s persecution of Christians, Julitta departed the city with her son and two trustworthy servants, leaving behind her home, property, and servants. Concealing her noble rank, she hid out first at Seleucia, and then at Tarsus. There around the year 305 she was recognized, arrested and brought to trial before the governor, Alexander. Strengthened by the Lord, she fearlessly answered the judge’s questions, and firmly confessed her faith in Christ. The governor gave orders to beat the woman with rods and torture her in various ways. During her torments Julitta kept repeating, “I am a Christian, and will not offer sacrifice to demons.” Julitta, seeing her son being killed, gave thanks to God that He had permitted her child to be perfected before her, and to receive the unfading crown of martyrdom. After many cruel tortures Julitta died.

MARGARETHA OF ANTIOCHIA SCOURGED
Margaretha was born in Antioch, in Syria, in the second half of the 3rd century to pagan parents. She was educated in the Christian faith by her wet nurse, a convinced Christian. The governor Olibrio tried to turn her away from Christianity and wanted to marry her. She refused and was thus condemned to death around 305. Margaretha replied to the governor who asked for her hand in marriage that she had dedicated her life to Jesus, her heavenly bridegroom. «Can you expect me to renounce heaven and choose instead the dust of the earth?» she told him. Olibrio, humiliated, gave orders to scourge her and burn her body with flaming torches, then to crucify her. Legend has it that her severe wounds miraculously disappeared. The governor's wrath then knew no bounds and he ordered the girl to be beheaded.

Naked, nailed, and raised. The three women cannot comprehend what has just happened to them or why it did. They have hours to think about it before the crosses kill them...
