 Muirchú added on to Patrick's outline of his life, stating that the Saint, after he left Britain for the second time, intended to travel to Rome but instead stayed with Germanus in Auxerre for many years, and it was in Auxerre that he heard of the mission to convert Ireland and decided to return.The lack of evidence in Patrick's writings for certain events that take place in the "Vita" indicates Muirchú's was enhancing Patrick's life and adding new events to make Patrick's tale seem more impressive.Similar to a piece of literature, the "Vita Patricii" contains two climaxes, suggesting that Muirchú added these for dramatic effect.
