The Anglo-Norman invasion was a watershed in Ireland's history, marking the beginning of more than 800 years of <a href="/wiki/British_rule_in_Ireland" title="British rule in Ireland">British rule in Ireland</a>. </p><p>In May 1169, Anglo-Norman mercenaries landed in Ireland at the request of <a href="/wiki/Diarmait_mac_Murchada" class="mw-redirect" title="Diarmait mac Murchada">Diarmait mac Murchada</a> (Dermot MacMurragh), the <a href="/wiki/Deposition_(politics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Deposition (politics)">deposed</a> <a href="/wiki/List_of_kings_of_Leinster" title="List of kings of Leinster">King of Leinster</a>, who sought their help in regaining his kingship. They achieved this within weeks and raided neighbouring kingdoms. This military intervention was sanctioned by King <a href="/wiki/Henry_II_of_England" title="Henry II of England">Henry II of England</a>. In return, Diarmait had sworn loyalty to Henry and promised land to the Normans. </p><p>In 1170, there were further Norman landings, led by the <a href="/wiki/Earl_of_Pembroke#The_first_creation:_de_Clare_(1138)" title="Earl of Pembroke">Earl of Pembroke</a>, <a href="/wiki/Richard_de_Clare,_2nd_Earl_of_Pembroke" title="Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke">Richard "Strongbow" de Clare</a>. They seized the important <a href="/wiki/Norse-Irish" class="mw-redirect" title="Norse-Irish">Norse-Irish</a> towns of Dublin and Waterford, and Strongbow married Diarmait's daughter <a href="/wiki/Aoife_MacMurrough" title="Aoife MacMurrough">Aoífe</a>. Diarmait died in May 1171 and Strongbow claimed Leinster, which Diarmait had promised him. Led by High King <a href="/wiki/Ruaidr%C3%AD_Ua_Conchobair" title="Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair">Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair</a> (Rory O'Conor), a coalition of most of the Irish kingdoms <a href="/wiki/Siege_of_Dublin_(1171)" title="Siege of Dublin (1171)">besieged Dublin</a>, while Norman-held <a href="/wiki/Waterford" title="Waterford">Waterford</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wexford" title="Wexford">Wexford</a> were also attacked. However, the Normans managed to hold most of their territory. </p><p>In October 1171, King Henry landed with a large army to assert control over both the Anglo-Normans and the Irish. This intervention was supported by the <a href="/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Church" class="mw-redirect" title="Roman Catholic Church">Roman Catholic Church</a>, who saw it as a means of ensuring Irish religious reform, and a source of <a href="/wiki/Peter%27s_Pence" title="Peter&#39;s Pence">taxes</a>. At the time, Irish marriage laws conflicted with those of the broader Church, and the <a href="/wiki/Gregorian_Reform" title="Gregorian Reform">Gregorian Reform</a> had not been fully implemented. Henry granted Strongbow Leinster as a <a href="/wiki/Fiefdom" class="mw-redirect" title="Fiefdom">fiefdom</a>, declared the Norse-Irish towns to be <a href="/wiki/Crown_land" title="Crown land">crown land</a>, and arranged the <a href="/wiki/Synod_of_Cashel" title="Synod of Cashel">synod of Cashel</a> to reform the Irish church. Many Irish kings also submitted to him, likely in the hope that he would curb Norman expansion, but Henry granted the unconquered kingdom of <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Meath" title="Kingdom of Meath">Meath</a> to <a href="/wiki/Hugh_de_Lacy,_Lord_of_Meath" title="Hugh de Lacy, Lord of Meath">Hugh de Lacy</a>. After Henry's departure in 1172, fighting between the Normans and Irish continued. </p><p>The 1175 <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Windsor_(1175)" title="Treaty of Windsor (1175)">Treaty of Windsor</a> acknowledged Henry as overlord of the conquered territory and Ruaidrí as overlord of the remainder of Ireland, with Ruaidrí also swearing <a href="/wiki/Fealty" title="Fealty">fealty</a> to Henry. The treaty soon collapsed: Norman lords continued to invade Irish kingdoms and the Irish continued to attack the Normans. In 1177, Henry adopted a new policy. He declared his son <a href="/wiki/John,_King_of_England" title="John, King of England">John</a> to be the "Lord of Ireland" (i.e. claiming the whole island) and authorised the Norman lords to conquer more land. The territory they held became the <a href="/wiki/Lordship_of_Ireland" title="Lordship of Ireland">Lordship of Ireland</a>, part of the <a href="/wiki/Angevin_Empire" title="Angevin Empire">Angevin Empire</a>. The Normans' success has been attributed to military superiority and castle-building, the lack of a unified opposition from the Irish and the support of the church for Henry's intervention.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Anglo-Norman_invasion_of_Ireland&amp;action=edit&amp;section=1" title="Edit section: Background"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the 12th century, <a href="/wiki/Gaelic_Ireland" title="Gaelic Ireland">Gaelic Ireland</a> was made up of several over-kingdoms, which each comprised several lesser kingdoms.
