Record summary
A late medieval account attributed to George of Hungary describes a journey through St Patrick’s Purgatory, including moralized punishments, demons, and encounters with souls. It shows how the Lough Derg tradition continued to circulate internationally and how pilgrimage narratives could be adapted to different audiences and penitential concerns. The lead is useful for tracing transmission beyond Ireland and for comparing first-person framing with monastic redaction. Attribution, original language, date, and the relationship between versions must be confirmed from manuscript and printed sources.
