The book chronicles the life of Oliver Plunket, who served as the Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland during the 17th century. The memoir begins with an overview of Plunket's early life and education, including his studies in Rome and his ordination as a priest. It then delves into his career as a bishop, including his appointment as Archbishop of Armagh in 1669 and his efforts to promote Catholicism in Ireland during a time of intense religious conflict.The book also covers Plunket's involvement in the Popish Plot, a conspiracy theory that accused Catholics of plotting to assassinate King Charles II. Plunket was falsely accused and arrested, and the memoir details his trial and eventual execution in 1681.Throughout the book, Moran provides historical context and analysis of the political and religious climate in Ireland and England during Plunket's lifetime.
