ST. PATRICK
In one of the incursions of the Scots
and Piets upon the neighboring; Roman
province south of the wail of Severus
probably that of 411 A. D. the year af
ter Honorius refused aid to the Britons,
a youth of .about fifteen was carried off
with many others from the district in the
neighborhood of the wall at the head
of the Solway, and sold as a slave on
the opposite coast of Ireland in the ter
ritory of the Irish Piets called 1 'ai
Araule. This youth was a future apos
tle of the Irish. As his name implies
he was of noble birth, and he
tells us so himself. He was the son
of the deacon Calpurnius, who was the
son of Potitus, a priest. His father
was a decurio or magistrate ,aiul, as
Patrick according to tradition was bora
at Nemthur. He must have exercised j
his functions of magistrate at that
place, but on the withdrawal of tlie
Roman garrisons from Britain probably
retired fcr safety south of the wall of
.Severus, where, as Patrick tells us. he
had a small country place (vlllula)
near the town (virus) of Bannavom
Ta-berniae, whence Patrick was carried
off. The country along the south of
the wall, especially near the Solway,
was a region of camps of military
posts to which the designation Tihernia
would be appropriate. Bennavem
seems to lie a Romanized form of a
British name signifinig “river foot,"
and most probably was the Banna of
the Chorography of Ravenas, and of
the inscription on an altar said to
have been found at Birdoswald (the
I toman-Bri tish Amlboglanna.) and now
tit Ranercost Priory. Te nattne also
occurs on the well known bronze cup
found about two hundred years ago at
Rudge in Wiltshire, which dates from
about 350. Banina must have been
near Petriana, the former being prob
ably the vicus or town and the latter
the military station proper. Towards
the end of the 4th century, before the
withdrawal of the Roman garrisons,
there were along the wall 10,300 foot
and 1,500 horse according to the Notitia
Imperil, so that Flu >iv i t T h.-rniae,
or Uannavem of tuilitaiy p- ts or en
campments. was descriptive of the diia
trict, and the office of deeurip in such
a place one of considerable dignity.
The youth Succut or Patrick remain
ed in hard slavery for six years, tend
ing cattle probably on Slemish Moun
tain in the country Antitn. I!"
seems to have been of an enthusiastic
temperament, and much given to pray
er and meditation. Reaming „f a
raemas to cseaipe. it so filled his mind
as to give rise to visions. The bays
and creeks of the West and the North
West of Ireland, especially Killala Bav.
were much frequented in ancient times
for they afforded secure retreats to
.sea rovers when they crept around the
coast of Ireland and swooped down on
that of 1 Ionian Britain, l’tolmy's town]
if Nagnata was probably on the bay
jv.-t named; it is celebrated in the
: torie.s of Komorians, Norsemen and
i. (her sea rovers. The kindred of the
.'.nl Bi or paramont kihg of Ireland
, >f the time. Dsithi or rather Athi, one
of the greatest leaders of the invading
Si ots, dwelt there; it was consequent
ly a place which offered facilities for
going to Britain, and from that place
Patrick most probably succeeded in es
caping. After his escape he appears to
have conceived the noble Idea of devot
ing himself to the conversion of the
Irish, and to have gone somewhere for
a few years to prepare himself for the
Priesthood. His biographers have tak
i a him to Tours to St Martin, who was
then dead several years, afterwards to
;’.ri land of Rcrins in the Mediterran
ean, and lastly to Rome, where he re
ceived a mission from Pope Celestine.
l'or all tills there is no evidence what
ever, the whole story being the result
of the confusion <<f Pulle.dlus with the
real Patrick. The tradition of some
collection between the Irish apostle and
St Martin of Tours, the incmastl^ type
of the earliest Irish Church, the doubts
as to Patricks fitness for the work
which led to his writing his Confession,
and indeed all the difficulties that beset
thequestion of the origin of the Irish
Church, received a simple and satisfac
tory explanation upon the hypothesis
of Patrick having prepared himself
for the prieshood at Candidia Casa,
the monastic institution founded by St.
Ninian (q. V.)
Patrick tells us that after a few
years (i. e. .after his escape) he was
among the Britains with his kindred,
who received him as a son, he was
evidently bent upon his mission, for
they besought him after such tribula
tions not to part from them again.
Full of it, he dreams that a man by
the name of Victorious came to him
bearing innumerable epistles, one of
which ho received and read; the be
ginning of it contained the words,
"The voice or the Irish;" whilst re
peating these words he says, “I im
agined that I heard in my mind (in
inente) the voice of those who were
near the wood of Focklad, which Is
near the western sea, and thus they
cried: We pray thee, holy youth, to
come hack and ho nee ward walk!
amongst us." The wood here referqd
to which was in the neighborhood of
Killala Bay, was most probably the
place where lie remained when con
cealed waiting for a boat to make his
escape from slavery. Tills dream was
followed by others, which shows how
completely his mission occupied his
mind. 1 ’.itrick was about twenty two
years of age when he escaped from
slavery, and. if we allow seven or eight
I
years for the “few years" preparation,
he probably was mot more than thirty I
years of age when he entered on his
mission about 425.
There Is a passage im his Confession
which shows that he was still a young
man when lie comeneed his work.
You know and God knows how I have
lived among you from my youth up.”
1‘holms, tlie author oif the fifth life
published by Oolg; n, who has many
claims 'ijio.i our confidence, supports
this view that Patrick begat his mis
sion while still a ^priest. We see in
Patricks own authentic acts that lie
must have sought among his friends in
Britain to be made a Bishop, for lie
complaines in his Confession that a
friend to Am lie had communicated
some fault, he hati committed when
about fifteen years old had urged this
thirty years after ;us a reason against
ills being consecrated to tile higher of
fice. This proves that he was only
about forty five years old when made
a bishop, if we assume that 411 was
the ye*i£ that he was carried off as a
slave, his consecration as a bishop
would fall in about 441. the fifteenth
year of his mission, a date which cor
responds with the result of Hr. Todd’s
speculations bused on a close analysis
of all available chronological data.
(' mpare in general on the conversion
of Ireland what has been said in vol.
XIII p. 247sq.
The date of St Patrick's death is as
uncertain as that of every other event
collected with him. The Annals of the
Four Masters give 493, with which
Pusher agrees: Tirechans annotations,
on the other hand, states that Roegaire,
son of Niail king of Ireland, lived from
two to five years after St Patrick.
According to this account the death
of St Patrick took place in 469, and that
of Giogaire in 471 or 474, after a reign
of thirty six years, so that Roegniro’s
reign began either in 435 or 438. The
Annals of the Four Masters record tlie
death In 457 of Senn Patraic, or Old Pat
rick, and of I.oegaire in the following
year, 458. The Patrick who died In 493
is a fiction due to the fusion of the acts
of the two real Patricks, Palladius Pat
rick and Senn Patratcc, doubtless so
called because he was the I‘a trick
known as a priest before the arrival
of the Roman Bishop. Assuming Tire
chans statement as coreet, and that
St Patrick died in 469. his missiim as'
priest and bishop' lasted fibofrf" forty~
four years.
