Ruaidri endeavoured to expel the invaders, but was driven west of the River Shannon.
He delayed his submission to Henry II until 1175, with the Treaty of Windsor which was negotiated on his behalf by Archbishop of Dublin, Lorcan Ua Tuathail.
Under this agreement, he held Connacht as his vassal and exercised lordship over all the native kings and chiefs of Ireland; in return he undertook to pay an annual tribute, though the treaty did not put an end to the wars of the Norman adventurers.

For example, the year of the world 4000 is 1200 B.C. Ua Clerigh's list, referred to in the preceding paragraph, converts the years of accession of each king from a year of the world shown in the Annals of the Four Masters to a B.C. year.

Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair, for instance, had taken six different wives concurrently in an attempt to solidify his political connections among the clans and strengthen his tenuous position as High King of Ireland in the face of widespread opposition.
