England, ireland and the Pope.

In the twelfth century Pope Adrian
Nv, the only Englishman that ever oc-
cupied the papai chair, granted the
hereditary lordship of Ireland to
Henry II CT England. In 1172 Henry
II visited Ireland in person, and the
clergy and great princes acknowledged
his supremacy and he was recognized
'Lord of Ireland" In 1177 John, the
youngest son Of Henry II, was granted
this lordship, but his authority was
only nominal, and he left the govern
ment to John d'Cource, a member Of
celebrated Norman family of Ok
fOrdShire and Somersetshire, and
whose parentage was entirely un-
known. In 1910 John visited Ireland,
but in 1918 resigned the kingdom to
the Pope, and for a second time the
papal claim to Ireland was formally
recorded.
