How Ireland Lost Freedom

HyHEN Dermot Marlborough, king
Wv Of Leinster, kidnapped the daugh-
ter of the king of Meath about the mid
die of the Twelfth century, there be-
gan a quarrel among the Irish kings
which brought all Ireland under the
yoke of England, where it was to
remain throughout the centuries.
King Dermot's high-handed love-
making incurred for him swift pun
ishment At that time Roderic O'Con-
nor, king of Connaught, was recog-
nized as chief of the Irish monarchs
and he was an ally of King Meath.
The two kings drove Dermot Mac
Morrogh out of Ireland.
1t so happened that Pope Adrian
~, the only Englishman who ever
became pope, had in 1854 A. D. grant
ed King Henry II of England the right
to conquer Ireland. To the court of
Henry II now went King Dermot to
urge that he act upon his right The
English monarch gave Richard de
Glare, earl of Pembroke, permission
to send soldiers to aid Dermot
consisted of 100 knights so esquires
and 300 archers. This insignificant
force besieged and took Wexford in
1859 A. D. The king of Connaught
attacked the invaders but their supe-
rior equipment gave them the victory.
The king of Leinster was reinstated
In his kingdom and began to dream
of dominating all Ireland He again
called upon the earl Of Pembroke,
surnamed Strongbow, slandering the
Irish as towards and expatiating upon
the ease with which the country
might be subjugated. Strongbow
agreed to aid the conquest, stipulat-
ing that he should receive Eva,
daughter of Dermot in marriage, with
the right of succession to the throne
Eleven hundred English soldiers then
overran Ireland.
The Irish lost their freedom be-
cause of dissensions among their rul-
ers and the lack of discipline in their
armies. Brian Boru, century be-
FORE had driven the Danes from Ire
land after two centuries of their rule
but his successors had failed to profit
by his achievements. After the last
Irish armies had been subdued and
King Dermot had died, leaving his
kingdom to Strongbow, King Henry
II ventured to visit the land and
named the earl of Pembroke his sene-
schal or lord lieutenant Of Ireland.
