Saint Patrick was not Irish

This is the time of the year when I remind everyone that Saint Patrick
was not Irish, he was Roman.



Two Latin letters survive which are generally accepted to have been
written by Patrick. These are the Declaration (Latin: Confessio) and
the Letter to the soldiers of Coroticus (Latin: Epistola). The
Declaration is the more important of the two. In it Patrick gives a
short account of his life and his mission. His parents were
Calphurnius and Conchessa. The former belonged to a Roman family of
high rank and held the office of decurio in Gaul or Britain. Conchessa
was a near relative of the great patron of Gaul, St Martin of Tours.
In or about his sixteenth year, Patrick was carried into captivity by
marauders and was sold as a slave to an Irish chieftan named Milchu in
Dalriada, an area in present-day county Antrim.

And Atilla was not Hungarian. So what? Both are heroes
of their respective adoptive peoples.

Yes, I know the Huns gave their name to Hungary, but
the Magyar people were/are not Huns.

Attila, (correct spelling), was the leader of the Huns.

The Magyars called their country, "Magyar." Others who called them
Huns named their country, "Hungary."

And this has nothing to do with Saint Patrick or Ireland.

Well no, but it does have something to do with
impugning someone's national heroes.
