Description
Redmond O'Hanlon's story is one of rebellion and survival. In 1641, at just twenty years old, he was swept up in the Irish Rebellion against English rule. With the aim of winning religious freedom and reclaiming lands seized from traditional chieftains, the rebels fought against a more disciplined enemy. O'Hanlon fled to France and served with distinction in both French and Spanish armies during the wars in Flanders. Eventually returning to Ireland, he took up arms once more, this time as the leader of a band of outlaws. His daring exploits and bold defiance of government forces earned him notoriety across Europe. This novel brings together fact and fiction to create a compelling narrative about one of Ireland's most infamous highwaymen.
