  1. Seán na Sagart

    Share Share Post
    Seán na Sagart used to behead priests. He used to get five pounds for the priests heads. The priests used to go in backward places to say mass. He sent his wife for the parish priest and when the parish priest came into the room he killed him. The curate was outside watching and Seán na Sagart followed the curate and his knife fell. The priest got it and fired it at Seán na Sagart and killed him.
