The Memoirs Of George Leyburn

A rare and valuable memoir that provides an inside view of the political and religious conflicts of 17th-century England and Ireland, as seen by an influential Catholic cleric and royalist. George Leyburn, who served as chaplain to the queen mother Henrietta Maria, narrates his travels to Ireland on behalf of the exiled Prince Charles and his encounters with Irish chieftains, politicians, and soldiers. The book is a fascinating testimony to the power struggles, intrigues, and alliances of the time, and sheds light on the role of religion in the conflicts.
