N2  - The patron saint of Ireland, St Patrick, was born in Scotland around 385 and was carried off by pirates to seven years of slavery in Antrim. He escaped, trained as a missionary and returned, devoting the rest of his life to the work of bringing Christianity to Ireland. Few of his writings survive, but much biographical material was collected in the seventh century by the historians Muirchú and Tírechán. This book examines their texts and retraces the footsteps of a saint whose impact is still felt in Ireland more than 1,500 years after his death
