Anglo-Norman Ireland
Anglo-Norman
nobles, led by Richard de Clare (nicknamed
Strongbow
), were invited to Ireland by the King of Leister in 1169. They took control of the major towns and Henry II of England proclaimed himself overlord of Ireland. In succeeding centuries, however, English power declined and the Crown controlled just a small area around Dublin known as the Pale (area which marked the limits of English influence from Norman to Tudor times). Many of the Anglo-Norman barons living outside the Pale opposed English rule just as strongly as did the native Irish clans.
