Born in Britain around 390 AD, St Patrick was taken as a slave to Ireland at the age of 16.
The \'Confession\' was penned as a re. \'The Confession of St Patrick\' and \'Letter to the Soldiers of Coroticus\' are both written by the Saint himself.
He died in Down, around 460.
Instigated by divine dreams, he escaped to his native land and became a priest until - obeying further dreams - he returned to Ireland as a bishop around 432, converting many and establishing the first Irish church at Armagh.
