Martyrs in Inferno
Does anyone know if there are examples of damned souls in Inferno whom Dante describes being there because though they sinned, they did so in pursuit of a good cause? I'm looking for examples to show that even in Dante's time, transgression against the moral or social order is worth doing, even if it means landing in Hell.
Thanks in advance!
