The Priest Hunters

A fascinating investigation the lives of four priest hunters — Sean na Sagart, Edward Tyrrell, Barry Lowe and John Garzia.
Ireland in the aftermath of Cromwell — during this period Catholicism and Irish nationalism became inexorably linked and priests were outlawed. The Priest Hunters shines a light on these men who hunted them. Sean naSagart was Irishman who was been condemned to death for horse stealing but was reprieved on condition he become a priest hunter. Edward Tyrrell was an English mercenary driven solely by greed. Barry Lowe indulged in such acts as tying a priest behind his horse and dragging him through the brush. John Garzia, who had fled the Spanish Inquisition, arrived in Ireland and evidently sought revenge hunting down priests.
An incredible account of some of the most hated men in Ireland.
