  • Résumé : Chronicle of the bleeding shamrock
    The story takes us through the violence of the Middle Ages in Ireland, England, Rome and Anjou, ending in Eu, Normandy, on November 14th 1180.
    Laurence O’Toole, an Irish prince and Archbishop of Dublin, leads a heroic life as Ireland's first defender against English colonisation. Courageously he protects the most destitute against natural disasters, he fights against the greed of the nobles and the paganism of the Viking invaders. With resilience he defends the cause of the Irish people against the turpitude of his main enemy: Henry II Plantagenet, King of England, Duke of Normandy and Anjou, the husband of Eleanor of Aquitaine and the father of Richard Brave Heart.
    Profoundly human, Laurence, confronted with the seven deadly sins, remains in a precarious balance between his divine mission and his earthly destiny. One is not born a saint. One becomes a saint.
    This historical novel is a work of fiction loosely inspired by the life of Laurence O’Toole, the patron saint of both the city of Dublin and the city of Eu. Based on historical facts the story is filled with repressed feelings, inner struggles and a moving fraternity.
