The Merrick Ghost

[ankaret.livejournal.com]

Was re-reading Falconer's Lure and was struck by Patrick's description of the family ghost that walks outside his bedroom - can someone who's read the historicals tell me whether the ghost appears (so to speak) in those? Or is the ghost one of the characters from the historicals?

Any help appreciated!

Oh good point, Babington was 1586.
The canonisation process for the 40 martyrs did indeed take a careful look at whether people were to be classed as "political" rather than "pure" martyrs I believe.
