EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in the complex relationship between England and Ireland during the medieval period. In the year 1167, King Henry II of England, depicted here in regal attire and holding a scepter, granted Dermod Mac Murrough, King of Leinster in Ireland, the authority to levy forces in the name of the English crown. This significant event marked the beginning of the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland, which would have profound consequences for the island's political landscape and its people. Henry II, who ruled England from 1154 to 1189, sought to extend his dominion beyond the British Isles, and the troubled situation in Ireland presented an opportunity to assert his influence. Dermod, who had been exiled from his kingdom, appealed to Henry for help in regaining his throne. In response, Henry dispatched an army led by his trusted advisor, Richard de Clare, the Earl of Pembroke, also known as Strongbow. The invasion was justified as a means to restore order and bring the Irish under English rule. The image of King Henry II authorising Dermod to levy forces underscores the political intrigue and power dynamics at play during this period. The meeting between the two leaders likely took place at Henry's court in England, as evidenced by the English setting and Henry's regal attire. The scene exudes an air of formality and seriousness, with both men focused intently on the matter at hand. This historical print offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the motivations and actions of key figures during a pivotal moment in the history of Ireland and England. The events of 1167 set the stage for centuries of interaction between the two countries, shaping their shared history in profound ways.
