When someone is described as a "martyr", all this means is that this person died for a cause they they believed in, and that their death inspired others to follow in the cause in question, often in the face of opposition.
Answer:
Correct answers are:
France - Edict Of Nantes
Germany - Peace of Augsburg
Spain - The Inquisition
England - 39 articles
Explanation:
When it comes to France, Huguenots were prosecuted by the people and the authorities. During the day of St. Bartholomew many of them were killed. Still, in 1598 certain rights were given to them with Edict of Nantes.
Germany was a cradle of Reformation and first conflicts happened there. But as the Protestants had large support Holy Roman Emperor had to sign Peace of Augsburg in 1555, according to which princes were able to choose official religion on their territory.
Spain introduced Inquisition that opposed everyone who was non-Catholic. Many people were prosecuted, even killed, and those who wanted to escape this were converted.
In England during Tudors 39 articles were introduced to establish rules of new Anglican church, but also to give certain liberties to Catholics.
The Middle Ages was a time of extreme religious devotion and only one religion was accepted in Europe: Christianity, and also only one church was considered proper: the Roman Catholic Church. A heretic would be anyone who would challenge in any way anything that the church was saying. (even that the Earth rotates around the Sun).
Ten Commandments are the basic and most important law of Christianity; the most important rules and principles by which people have to live.
This is equivalent to the Eighfold Path in Buddhism (answer 1) is the correct one): they are the major principles by which the Buddhists have to live.
