While I'm working on my next Greek history blog (it is coming, don't worry), and since British history isn't my specialty (yet?), I thought I'd share a few videos about Ireland and Saint Patrick, since today is Saint Patrick's Day!
This is just a one-off blog mini-series on Britain's Patron Saints and I'll be back to my regular posts ASAP.
In the meantime, hope you enjoy!
