This page groups historical figures by a named set of peers they are counted among, such as a fixed traditional list of disciples, patriarchs or companions. Wikipedia's general definition describes a social group as "two or more people who interact with one another, share similar characteristics, and collectively have a sense of unity." Browsing this way lets a visitor see the whole traditional group a figure belongs to, not just the single membership fact.
