Blessed Martyrs of the Carmes (1792)

These were a group of 191 priests, including an archbishop and two bishops, most of whom were massacred, during the French Revolution, in a Carmelite church in Paris known as Les Carmes. They died rather than take the oath to support the civil constitution of the clergy, which the Pope had condemned.
