Men like ‘Sean na Sagart’, an Irishman condemned to death for horse stealing, but reprieved on condition he become a priest hunter, Edward Tyrrell, a mercenary driven by greed and John Garzia, who fled the Spanish Inquisition, arrived in Ireland and sought revenge and fortune by hunting down priests.
