	Wikinfo \| Lordship of Ireland
		Ireland in the century prior to the Anglo-Norman invasion of 1169 is probably best described as a national kingdom lacking a settled monarchy, the kingship being disputed by three regional dynasties.
		The Lordship of Ireland (1171-1541) was a nominally all-island Irish state created in the wake of the Norman invasion of the east coast of Ireland in 1169, an area that became known in the later middle ages as the 'pale' or 'Pale of Dublin' from its defences in imitation of the earlier-named 'Pale of Calais'.
		As a result, he became King John of England, and the Lordship of Ireland, instead of being a separate area governed by a minor English prince, became a territorial possession of the English Crown.

	Ireland - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, is unofficially known as "The North" (by nationalists and residents in the Republic of Ireland), "the Six Counties," by nationalists, and "Ulster," by unionists (although the historic province of Ulster also includes the counties Donegal, Cavan, and Monaghan, which are in the Republic).
		The GAA is organised on an all-Ireland basis with all 32 counties competing; traditionally, counties first compete within their province, in the provincial championships, and the winners then compete in the All-Ireland senior hurling or football championships.
		Ireland's largest religious group is the Catholic Church (about 70% for the entire island, and over 90% for the Republic), and most of the rest of the population adhere to one of the various Protestant denominations.

	Lordship of Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The authority of the Lordship of Ireland's government was never extended throughout the island of Ireland at any time during its existence but was restricted to the Pale, and some provincial towns, including Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford, Wexford and their hinterlands.
		Religious practices in Ireland and organisation had evolved divergently from those of areas of Europe influenced more directly by the central Roman Catholic Church, although many of these differences had been eliminated or greatly lessened by the time the bull (known as Laudibiliter) was issued in 1155.
		Henry VIII changed his title because the Lordship of Ireland had been granted to the English monarch by the papacy and Henry had been excommunicated by the Catholic Church, which meant that the title was no longer valid.

	Henry II, King John, and Anglo-Norman Ireland
		By the middle of the 12th Century, Ireland was fraught with violence and turmoil.
		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.
		Ireland, however, was never conquered and the Normans increasingly intermarried with the native Irish nobility.

	History Ireland Feature - Curriculum: Gaelic lordship and Tudor conquest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Tír Eoghain, as the strongest Gaelic lordship and principal example of the tanistry system, presented the centralising Tudor state with its greatest challenge in its attempt to ‘reform’ Ireland in the sixteenth century.
		This witnessed the appointment of English lord deputies, the establishment of an English standing army in Ireland and an overhaul of the government of the Pale.
		Gaelic Ireland was more directly affected by the second phase of this process, when Ireland was designated a kingdom by act of parliament in 1541 and the centralising government embarked on the incorporation of the Gaelic and Gaelicised lordships that controlled about two-thirds of the country by a policy of ‘surrender and regrant’.

		This book on Ireland in the Middle Ages is a coherent and comprehensive study of an important and fascinating period in the development of Ireland as we know it today.
		The medieval lordship of Ireland was invested in the English crown by the papacy in the mid-twelfth century.
		Ireland was fragmented, with a government in Dublin exercising limited power and the island mostly dominated by Anglo-Irish and Irish families who controlled the everyday life of most of the inhabitants.

		At one stage it seemed likely that they would be driven from the country if it were not for the support given by Henry II, who had become concerned with the amount of power and influence that Strongbow was amassing across the Irish sea.
		It is speculated that Henry II feared that Ireland might be used as a base by the Saxons to launch an offensive back into England in the wake of their defeat at Hastings in 1066.
		Much of Ireland was still under local influence and it only was the East coast, known as 'the Pale', that remained in Norman control.

		Localised and, at times, general warfare in Ireland, occupying most of the latter half of the sixteenth-century (and about half of the book) does not, at least without qualification and explanation.
		Steven Ellis has argued that conditions in the late medieval English lordship in Ireland, encompassing about a third of the island but most of its population and agricultural wealth, approximated those of an English marchland like the Welsh borders.[1] Lenman incorporates this perspective by emphasizing the internal frontier between Irish Gaeldom and the English lordship.
		This, I think, predisposes him to overstate the cultural and political impermeability of that frontier and to draw too sharp a contrast with the Scottish Gaels who were not, he claims, regarded as alien by other members of a culturally plural kingdom.

		England passes the Government of Ireland Act, establishing two self-governing areas, Northern Ireland (the six counties of Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Londonderry, and Tyrone) and Southern Ireland; the next year the Anglo-Irish treaty is signed between Southern Ireland (then called the Irish Free State) and England.
		The border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Free State is accepted as definitive by both governments, and by Great Britain, establishing partition as a permanent condition.
		A new constitution is formalized for the Irish Free State, now called Ireland or Eire, establishing independence of relations with Great Britain (though still not declaring Eire a republic) and according a special status to the Catholic Church (a status removed in the 1970's).
