I was interested to see that a Carmelite, Blessed Nuno, will be among the ten people canonized at that time. He was a fourteenth century Portuguese military hero who helped establish Portugal's independence. After his wife died, became a brother in the Order. I imagine he is remembered more for his military exploits than as a Carmelite, judging from the statue pictured there on the side. The main reason I remember him, though, is that his feast day is April 1 -- Justin's birthday.
