Saint Patrick (387 –493 or 460 A.D.) was a Christian missionary who is the most generally recognized patron saint of Ireland or the Apostle of Ireland, although Brigid of Kildare and Colmcille are also formally patron saints. Bury’s The Life of St.Patrick and His Place in History is a concise but comprehensive biography of the famous saint.
