    Not very accurate research as J Caesar was in Britain going after Druids even in pre- christian times. In the first century AD another Roman incursion had more success and by the second century, there was to be found a faction of Roman Catholics in Britain. London is a Roman city.
    St Patrick doesn't convert Ireland for another 3-4 hundred yrs.
    Acc to Fr Parsons V1( Imprimateur Pope Leo XIII)
    " Probably born, certainly brought up, near Boulogne-sur-Mer ( Bonavea Tubernaie say the Confessions), in France....."
    He is silent  re: the origin or ethnicity of his parents. :cheers:
    Not silent! In his Confessio, Patrick writes:

    Quote
    I had as my father the deacon Calpornius, son of the late Potitus, a priest, who belonged to the small town of Bannavem Taberniae; he had a small estate nearby, and it was there I was taken captive.
    St. Patrick was born around 387-390 AD with the Celtic name Maewyn Succat, in a village called Bannavem Taburniæ in Western Britain, either Wales or Scotland, under Roman rule. His parents were Calpurnius (a deacon, son of Potitus, a priest), and Conchessa. He adopted the title Patricius, or Patrick, upon becoming a priest. He died at Saul, Downpatrick Ireland, on the 17th of March 460 or some say 492. All dates are the subject of some debate.

    I think it should be considered accurate as it is in his own words. Are there any contemporaries to contradict him?

    • Acc to Fr Laux's history,the saint was probably born in Caerwenr(t) near Bristol.

    At any rate, his father & grandfather have Roman names. Probably Italian immigrants to Britain in the 1st or 2nd century. :cheers:
