ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MARCH
Saints celebrated on the 26th of March
HUGH, BISHOP OF LIMERICK
Hugo [Hugh], surnamed de Lacii, Bishop of Limerick in Ireland, was of noble family of the county of Munster (Momonia) in Ireland.
King Henry VIII (1509-1547) already threw him into prison because he could not win him over to his bad cause.
PERSECUTIONS
After he was released some time before Henry's death, he saw himself exposed to new persecutions under Edward VI. (1547-1553), which he escaped by fleeing to France.
When Mary Stuart (1558-1587) subsequently came into power, he was reinstated in his diocese, which he administered with great enthusiasm.
HIS HOLY DEATH
But under Elizabeth (1558-1603) the 60-year-old old man was forcefully removed from his See because he was not compliant with her intentions. He was imprisoned and finally released from his suffering by death on March 26, 1577.
