St. Margaret Clitherow was one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales who were executed for harboring Roman Catholic priests, which was punishable by death under a 1583 law during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England. Clitherow and the other martyrs were collectively canonized by Pope Paul VI in 1970.
