Everything about Legend Of The Purgatory Of St Patrick totally explained

L'Espurgatoire Seint Patriz or The Legend of the Purgatory of Saint Patrick is a 12th century poem by Marie de France. It is an Old French translation of a Latin text Tractacus de Purgatorio Sancti Patricii by the monk Henry of Saltrey. However, Marie's version is amplified from the original Latin.

Plot summary

In this work, an Irish knight named Owein travels to St. Patrick's Purgatory to attone for his sins. After descending into purgatory, he's visited by several demons who show him unholy scenes of torture to try to get him to renounce his religion. Each time, he's able to dispel the scene by saying the name of Jesus Christ. After passing an entire night in the Purgatory, he returns to the church where he began his journey, purged of his sins.
