St Patrick's travels 'like rock tour'
BBC


St Patrick's evangelical travels through Ireland were akin to a modern day rock tour, according to a new book.

Historian Rob Vance said the Irish patron saint was an astute operator.

He accepted land and jewels against the church's wishes to fund his 5th century evangelising mission, claims the book.

He also paid tributes to pagan chiefs to woo them to Christianity.
