James Archer (Jesuit)
James Archer (1550-1620) was an Irish member of the Society of Jesus and played a controversial role in the Nine Years War, during the Tudor reconquest of his native country. In the final decade of the reign of Queen Elizabeth I he became a leading hate-figure in English government propaganda, but his lasting achievement was in the establishment of Irish seminaries in continental Europe as part of the counter reformation.
