Was Saint Patrick born in Wales?

Answer 1

No one can be sure where he was born except that it must have been on the west coast of Britain. In his "Confessio" Patrick says that he was born at Bannavem Taburniæ but we dont know where that is. It must be remembered that most of the traditions that surround Saint Patrick come from later hagiography, the so-called "lives" of Patrick, which cannot be relied upon for solid historical facts as the first of these were written two centuries later and their texts reflect contemporary 7th century concerns rather tan 5th century realities.

Answer 2

St. Patrick was born in Roman Britain, either Scotland or Wales, of Roman parents.

Answer 3

At the time it was known as Roman Britain and he was probably born in Scotland.

Answer 4

He was born in Scotland (probably) because his parents, who were Romans, were living there at the time.

Answer 5

Some sources say Patrick was born in Wales while other say Scotland. All we can say with certainty was he was born in Roman Britain.
