Synopsis
A fascinating account of the life of the 17th century Archbishop of Armagh who presided over Ireland during one of the most turbulent periods in the nation s history. Based on Oliver Plunkett s letter-writing, which he sustained right up until his execution, this work traces St. Oliver Plunkett s development from his time as a young priest who initially opted to stay in Rome rather than return to a troubled Ireland, to his rise to the rank of Archbishop and his refusal to abandon his people in the face of suppression. Within the pages of this book, mania that surrounded the Popish Plot is brought to life, an episode that Plunkett eventually became a victim of, forcing him to spend nineteen months in captivity in the constant expectation of a cruel and violent death. It was this time in prison that he demonstrated his incredible depth of faith that prepared him for martyrdom.
