Dr Brian Lacey deals with an actual historical person, distinguishing him from the wonderfully complex but fictional character of the stories that have developed over the last fourteen centuries. He traces the evolution and effects of the monastic institution stemming from the saint's main foundation on Iona probably founded around 562 as these spread throughout Ireland, Scotland and the north of England, with cultural and other influences reaching further to the continent.
