Campion (Edmund)

(1540–1581)

English Jesuit priest and martyr, son of a London-based bookseller; one-time tutor to Richard Stanihurst in Ireland and author of Two bokes of the histories of Ireland (1571). Because his preaching activities in various parts of England were deemed dangerous and political by Anglican authorities, he was arrested on the charge of high treason and finally, hanged, drawn and quartered.

An English-language history of Ireland, in two parts, written within a short period of time in 1571 by English Jesuit Edmund Campion (1540–1581) and first published by James Ware in 1633. Campion hoped it would prove to the earl of Leicester that he made good use of his time in Ireland and encourage antiquarians to build on his work. However, when in 1577 Holinshed expressed an interest in the work, Campion objected it was not fit for reading let alone publication.
