<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KLJ, post: 41980, member: 1910&quot;]To be fair, the only things REALLY known for sure about Patrick&#039;s early life (taken from his own writings) is that he was taken captive as an adult in Roman Britain, was a deacon within the Church, and civil servant in the service of the Empire.&nbsp; The only part of Britain the Romans ever bothered conquering was what would become England.&nbsp; Scotland, Wales, and Ireland weren&#039;t worth the effort.&nbsp; Conceivably, Patrick&#039;s family could have emigrated from Scotland to the Empire, although his father&#039;s name (Calpurnius) was Roman.&nbsp; Regardless of the land of his birth, he saw himself before his capture as Roman and Christian.&nbsp; (After his escape, he would have called himself Christian first.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
