Rebel Saints is a novel written by Mary Agnes Best. The book is a historical fiction set in the 16th century in England. The story revolves around the life of a young woman named Margaret Clitherow who is a Catholic living in York during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Margaret is a strong-willed woman who refuses to conform to the religious and social norms of her time. She secretly practices Catholicism and even converts her husband to the faith. However, when her husband dies, Margaret becomes more outspoken about her beliefs and is eventually arrested and charged with treason for harboring Catholic priests. Despite being given the opportunity to recant her faith and save her life, Margaret remains steadfast in her beliefs and is ultimately executed by being crushed to death. The novel explores themes of faith, loyalty, and sacrifice, as well as the persecution of Catholics during the Elizabethan era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
