Ireland’s Oldest Music Manuscript?
Sir Roger Casement (1864-1916), humanitarian and Irish revolutionary, was put on trial at the end of June 1916 on a charge of high treason against the British Crown which he had served as a conscientious consul in both Africa (1895-1904) and South America (1906-1913), until his resignation from the Foreign Office in the summer of 1913 when he began to devote his energies to the cause of Irish freedom. At the end of October 1914 British intelligence services got wind of Casement’s efforts to bring about a German-Irish alliance and despite efforts to undermine his activities, it was not until April 1916 that he was eventually arrested on Banna Strand, County Kerry, just hours before the outbreak of the Easter Rising.
