Why were the “Tolpuddle Martyrs” so called? I know that they got the first half “Tolpuddle” because that is where they lived & where the trade union took place but I’m not sure about “Martyr”

Context: The tolpuddle martyrs were a group of six English farm workers who were put in jail for organizing a trade union (=organization that represents workers) in Tolpuddle, Dorset, in 1833–4. They were sent to Australia as criminals, but many people protested and in 1836 the men were brought home and set free.
