	Dermot MacMurrough - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Diarmait Mac Murchada (also known as Diarmait na nGall, "Dermot of the Foreigners"), anglicized as Dermot MacMurrough (died 1 January 1171) was the King of Leinster, and is often considered to have been the most notorious traitor in Irish history.
		Mac Murchada was born in 1110, a son of Donnchad, King of Leinster and Dublin; he was a descendant of Brian Boru.
		Mac Murchada also 'abducted' Ua Ruairc's wife Derbforgaill along with all her furniture and goods, with the aid of Derbforgaill's brother, a future pretender to the kingship of Meath.

	Leinster History
		However, under Diarmait mac Máel na mBó, who ascended the throne of Leinster in 1042, the dynasty returned to the kingship and held it (even in the face of much internecine warfare) until the late 12th century, with the death of Diarmait Mac Murchada (+1171).
		On the death of Diarmait Mac Murchada, Strongbow recognized his nephew Murtough as King of Uí Chennselaig, and the descendants of this sept (MacMurchadha, or MacMorrough) claimed the kingship of Leinster from the 13th century onward.
		Their most successful Chief, Art Caomhánach Mac Murchadha, or "Art Kavanagh MacMurrough" (+1416/7), succeeded in resisting Richard II of England, and in creating a relatively secure territory in Wexford and Carlow, from which he and his successors were able to menace the English Pale and extract regular "fl rents," until late in the 16th century.

	Henry II, King John, and Anglo-Norman Ireland
		During this time, the king of Leinster, Diarmait Mac Murchada was driven from his kingdom and sought aid from Henry II of England.
		Though Diarmait immediately returned to Ireland accompanied by some mercenaries, it was another two years before he was joined by Strongbow and his men, who landed at Waterford and subsequently took the city by assault.
		Henry II was probably rather disturbed at the extent of their success and he ultimately sailed to Ireland accompanied by a large force to extract oaths of fealty from Strongbow and his followers, as well as from the remaining Irish kings.

		When Diarmait was expelled from Ireland in 1166, Mac Gilla Patraic had taken half his kingdom and Diarmit's eldest son as a hostage.

		Furlong presents a thorough account of Diarmaitâs life and examines his actions and decisions not only in the context of his questionable personal traits and character but also expanding the analysis to reflect on his effect on the political turbulence of the time.
		He is recorded as having two wives at the same time, raping an abbess, the abduction of Dervorgilla, the wife of his bitter rival, and the mutilation and killing of rivals.
		Furlongâs Diarmait King of Leinster is a subtle, compassionate yet realistic examination of the man behind the myth.

		After the invasion, Strongbow remained in Ireland as governor, and the English gained a foothold in Ireland that was to remain for the best part of a millennium.

	Finnerty name (section c)
		A big part of the problem with Diarmait was that he got himself involved in a very publicly conducted abduction controversy: because of a love affair between himself and the wife (Dervorgilla) of another provincial king (Tiernán O' Rourke of Breifne).
		However, Diarmait could not, or would not, accept this judgement: and quickly went to see King Henry ll of England (who was really a Norman, and whose first language was French).
		Although King Henry was very interested in Diarmait's invitation to invade Ireland (at the small cost to him of reinstating Diarmait), he was too busy taking over other places elsewhere to get directly involved himself.
