| Summary: | As early as 1820, the liberals developed a martyrdom pantheon that provided their movement with heroic referents capable of embodying the values they defended, but also of stimulating the political commitment of their compatriots.

Its impact is confirmed by the reaction it provoked from Isabella II, who tried to censor it. |
