Top 10 Misunderstood Figures from History
Saint Patrick
It is believed that this figure played a role in driving out all snakes from Ireland, but this claim is questionable as there were no snakes in Ireland during that time. The only confirmed historical fact about St. Patrick is that he was brought to Ireland as a slave in chains. After escaping and returning to Cumbria, he was ordained as a priest and later began his missionary work. St. Patrick converted thousands of people to Christianity and even converted the heirs to the throne of Ireland. However, the story of him banishing snakes is likely a metaphor for his efforts to convert the Druid cults in the region, and he did not bring Christianity to Ireland single-handedly.
