In 1738, a Dublin nobleman’s night of drinking ended in blood.
When Lord Santry stabbed a servant to death in a tavern off Copper-Alley, his trial gripped Ireland — not just for its violence, but for what it revealed about privilege, corruption, and the dark world of the Hellfire Club.

Was Santry’s crime an act of drunken cruelty… or something more sinister?

From the House of Lords to the ruins of Montpelier Hill, this is the true story behind one of Ireland’s most infamous scandals — where power met impiety, and history met legend.
