description: [Magrath, Archbishop] Jackson, Robert Wyse. Archbishop Magrath - The scoundrel of Cashel. Dublin (25 Lower Abbey St., Dublin 1), Mercier Press, 1974. 18 cm. [4],91 pages. Softcover. Excellent condition with only minor signs of external wear. Miler Magrath or Miler McGrath (also Myler; in Irish, Maolmhuire Mag servant of Mary, son of grace) (c. 1523 – 14 November 1622), was an Irish priest and archbishop born in County Fermanagh, Ireland. He came from a family of hereditary historians of the O'Brien clan. He entered the Franciscan Order and was ordained to the Roman Catholic priesthood. The Vatican later appointed him the Bishop of Down and Connor in Ireland, but he converted to the Anglican Church of England (since the passage of the 'Irish Church Act 1869' the Anglican Church in Ireland is known as the 'Church of Ireland') and became the Protestant Archbishop of Cashel. He is viewed with contempt by both Protestant and Catholic historians, owing to his ambiguous and corrupt activities during the Reformation. He also served as a member of the Parliament of Ireland.
