Miguel Hidalgo, a Roman Catholic priest and revolutionary leader, was arrested primarily for his role in initiating the Mexican War of Independence against Spanish rule. He issued the famous "Grito de Dolores" in 1810, calling for an uprising, which led to widespread rebellion. His actions were considered treasonous by colonial authorities, resulting in his capture in early 1811. Hidalgo was eventually executed later that year, solidifying his status as a martyr for Mexico's independence.
