Saint Patrick was English

Good screaming holy fuck, no he was not.

The Angles and Saxons didn't even know where Britain WAS in 400 A.D. Much less had they started squatters' settlements on it.

Patrick did come from Britain, but if anything he was Roman. "Possibly" Romanized British Celt; but either way, he was about as English as pasta fagioli.
