E.g. Thomas More or Thomas Becket (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

martyr

(Other definitions for martyr that I've seen before include "One killed for faith" , "One exaggerating suffering" , "put at stake?" , "Persecution victim" , "One suffering for conscience" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
