Rizal's 1896 military trial and execution made him a martyr of the Philippine Revolution. He is widely considered the greatest Filipino hero and a de facto national hero. The anniversary of Rizal's death is commemorated as a holiday.
The seventh of eleven children born to a wealthy family, Rizal attended the Ateneo Municipal de Manila, earning a Bachelor of Arts. He enrolled in Medicine and Philosophy and Letters at the University of Santo Tomas and then traveled to Madrid, Spain, where he continued his studies at the Universidad Central de Madrid, earning the degree of Licentiate in Medicine.
He attended the University of Paris and earned a second doctorate at the University of Heidelberg. Rizal was a polyglot conversant in at least ten languages. He was a poet, essayist and novelist whose most famous works were his two novels, Noli me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. These are social commentaries on the Philippines that formed the nucleus of literature that inspired dissent among peaceful reformists and spurred the militancy of armed revolutionaries against the Spanish regime.
As a political figure, Rizal was the founder of La Liga Filipina, a civic organization calling for reforms in Spanish colonial rule. A founding member, Andres Bonifacio, set up the secret society Katipunan, which instead worked for the independence of the Philippines through armed revolt. While Rizal was definitely a proponent of institutional reforms by peaceful means, the extent to which he was in favor of violent means is debated by Rizal scholars. The general consensus, however, considers his political activities and execution by the government as major inspirations of the Philippine Revolution, led by Bonifacio and later Emilio Aguinaldo.
