	The Calvert Chronicles

		The historical Calverts would in many ways be strangers to us today, but in the context of their times they were, with one notable exception, upright and honorable men and women, representative of the society from which they arose.
		George Calvert was not only able to openly profess Catholicism to a Protestant King, but managed to have his grant of baronial title omit the usual obligation that he be “conformable in point of religion”, i.e., that his religion and the King’s be identical.
