While Saint Patrick is best remembered as the saint who build up Christianity in Ireland, there is a darker side to some of his legends. Even in Patrick's own writings he tries to refute claims against him of violence towards non-Christians, and extortion of his flock. What is the truth about Saint Patrick?
