'The Impact of the Nine Years War on the continental Irish: Henry Piers in Rome and Spain' by Dr Brian MacCuarta (Archivum Romanum Societatis Iesu). 

Writing in 2003, Felicity Heal suggests that for the period before 1600 it is not possible to describe the religious life of the laity in Ireland. On 9 June 1595 two men in their late 20s – Henry Piers, and Philip Draycot - set sail from Dublin to go to Rome. The recent discovery of the travel memoir of Henry Piers, of Co. Westmeath, recounting his journey to and from Rome 1595-7, affords the possibility of exploring the Catholic mentalite of one layman in late sixteenth-century Ireland. Conversion between the various denominations has been little studied for sixteenth-century Ireland. It is possible to explore this theme in the case of one individual. Piers, his parents, his wife and her family were adherents of the Established Church. The journey to the Continent arose from Henry’s embracing of Catholicism, a transition arising largely from contacts with the English recusant community. While on the Continent, his engagement with the English Catholic community in Rome and in Spain, and with various Irish and English encountered there, throws light on the ambiguous situation of Elizabeth’s subjects in Catholic Europe during the turbulent 1590s.
