This page groups historical figures by how they died, a fact religious tradition often treats as meaningful in itself, especially for a death suffered for one's faith. Wikipedia defines a martyr as "someone who suffers persecution and death for advocating, renouncing, or refusing to renounce a religious belief or other cause." Browsing this way lets a visitor separate figures who died as martyrs from those who died of natural causes, in battle, or by other means.
