THOMAS LOMBARD, RELIGIOUS
Thomas Lombard lived in the time of Queen Elizabeth and from 1602 worked strenuously for the Catholic cause in Ireland. He was born at Waterford in Ireland, and entered the Cistercian Order in Spain in 1591, but died after only two years of his zealous work of an infectious disease, which he had contracted while visiting the sick.
