Captured from his home by pirates as a teenager and sold into slavery in Ireland, Patrick escaped his captors only to return years later as Ireland’s famous Apostle and now the world’s most decorated Patron Saint. Despite that legacy, though, very little is known about the figure’s origin and heritage. What is considered common knowledge is still open to being investigated: Did Patrick come to Ireland from Britain, or was it France? Was his family of noble lineage? Were his ancestors key progenitors of the Merovingian Dynasty? Facts surrounding these questions have been lost to history in the centuries since his death, with few books ever being able to give a detailed account of Patrick’s homeland and family. Until now.In the search for a more concrete history of St. Patrick, author Marcus Losack has spent the past four years extensively researching one new theory surrounding the figure’s origin, stemming from a small, country chateau in Brittany, France. Investigations into this site unearthed the fact that Patrick’s father, Calpurnius, owned the first building there, which was burned to the ground by pirates. Delving deep into this untold part of Patrick’s story in order to gain a clearer sense of where the controversial saint originated from, Losack similarly peels back the layers of St. Patrick’s deep spirituality, and the true inspiration behind his great legacy.
