Henry Francis Montgomery Stuart (29 April 1902 – 2 February 2000) was an Irish writer. He was awarded one of the highest artistic accolades in Ireland, being elected a Saoi of Aosdána, before his death in 2000.[1] His associations with the IRA and years in Nazi Germany led to a great deal of controversy.[2]
