Synopsis:
As the first book on Richard Creagh, this biography is an important addition to scholarship on the Tudor/Elizabethan period. Although he spent all but three of his twenty-two years as archbishop of Armagh in prison, Creagh was a highly influenctial figure in early Elizabethan Ireland. By the end of his life in 1586 he had come to symbolize the dilemma of a politically loyal prelate of the Roman Catholic church in a Protestant state. He failed ultimately to satisfy the Tudor authorities about the compatibility of his allegiances and paid with his life.
Synopsis: This study stresses the importance of Richard Creagh''s background as a native of Limerick whose roots lay in English and Gaelic communities. Creagh''s missions to his diocese ended with capture but he displayed the zeal of the Catholic reformer.'
