MONTMARTRE (mông-märtr'), formerly a village of France, department of Seine, now a part of Paris, on a conical hill, a center for literary and artistic Bohemians. The name is derived by some from Mons Martis, the site of a temple to Mars; and by others from Mons Martyrum, because it was the scene of the martyrdom of St. Denis and his three companions. The Northmen pillaged it in 887, and Louis VI., "the Fat" (1108-1137), formed a Benedictine abbey. Combats between the allied armies and the French took place on the heights, of which Blücher gained possession, March 30, 1814.
