CHAP. III.

A Catalogue of the Chief Governors of Ireland, under the Sovereignty of the Kings of England, since the Conquest thereof by Henry the Se∣cond, to the Year 1670. Stiled sometimes Lord Justices, sometimes Lord Lieutenants, sometimes Lord Deputies of Ireland.

[Ann. Dom. 1171] HEnry the Second, King of England, landed at Croch in Ireland, eight Miles from Waterford, the 17 of October, 1171. and staid there till Easter following: In which space the Princes of Ireland submit, and swore Fealty to him; Rode∣rik King of Connaught being as it were the Chief Head and Monarch of Ireland. Hoveden and Giraldus.

The Conquest of Ireland was before prepared for him, Anno 1168. by Richard Strongbow, who then entred Ireland with his Forces, and very victoriously winning one Place after another. Hoveden.

The King of Connaught agreeth to hold all his Lands under the King of England,— Ut Rodericus sit Rex sub Henrico paratus ad Servitium suum; and to pay him Tribute, as the words of the Deed run, which you may see at large in Hoveden's History, or An∣nals, bearing date in the Octaves of St. Michael, 1175. made at the Parliament at Wind∣sor in England.

[ 1172] 1. Hugh Lacy, Lord Justice of Ireland.

[ 1174] 2. Richard Strongbow, Lord Justice. Obiit 1176. Hoveden.

[ 1176] 3. William Fitz-Aldelme, Justice of Ireland. Hoveden.

But Giraldus, Hiber. Expug. lib. 2. cap. 15. saith, Reymund was elected Governor of Ireland, while Messengers were sent to the King of England to certifie him of Strongbow's death; who forthwith sent William Fitz-Aldelme Procuratorem in Hi∣berniam, joyning with him John Curcy, Robert Fitz-Stephen, and Milo de Coggan, in Commission.

[ 1179] 4. Hugh Lacy again, made Generalis Hiberniae Procurator; Robert le Poer the King's Marshal, being joyned as an Assistant to him: which Robert was then Governor both of Waterford and Weshford. Giraldus.

[ 1181] 5. John Lacy, Constable of Cheshire, and Baron of Halton, with Richard Peche Bishop of Chester, were sent into Ireland about the Calends of May, 1181. and made Gover∣nors of Dublin; for the King had sent for Hugh Lacy, as jealous of his Strength and Power in Ireland, having now married the Daughter of Roderik King of Connaught, without the King of England's Licence first obtained. Hoveden.

[ 1181] 6. Hugh Lacy again, in the Winter following, eodem Anno; Robert of Shrewsbury, a Clergy-man, being joyned with him.

[ 1184] 7. Philip of Worcester, vir Dapsilis & Militaris. Hib. Expug. lib. 2. cap. 24. (called by Hoveden, Philip de Breos) sent Governor into Ireland about the Calends of September.

[ 1185] 8. John the King's Son (afterwards King John) went into Ireland, but soon returned, after he had appointed Justices, and settled the Garrisons there. Hoveden. But who those Justices were, he mentions not.

Hoveden saith, That Anno 1176. the King of England gave Ireland to his Son John; and then after at a Parliament at Oxford, Anno 1177. the King did constitute him Regem in Hiberniâ, Concessione & Confirmatione Alexandri summi Pontificis: And Anno 1185. 31 Hen. 2. the King Knighted him at Windsor the last day of March, and

sends him forthwith into Ireland (where he staid not long) & indè eum Regem consti∣tuit.

Certain it is, That this John (after he became King of England) assumed the Title of Dominus Hiberniae to his other Titles; which also the succeeding Kings of England ever since retained, until the Year 1542. 33 Hen. 8. at which time, by a Parliament in Ireland, King Henry the Eighth was declared King of Ireland, as a Title of greater Majesty; which Title of Rex Hiberniae, the Kings of England have used ever since.

Probably when the King gave unto his Son John, Dominium Hiberniae, 1176, it was as much as King of Ireland in effect, whereby the Supreme Power was implied; and from thence we see he assumed the Title of Dominus Hiberniae afterwards: But it is not probable, that the King did create him Regem Hiberniae by Charter (though possibly he might sometimes be so called) for then he would have assumed the Title of Rex Hiberniae, and not of Dominus Hiberniae, which afterwards we find he assu∣med; but never Rex Hiberniae. [Ann. Dom. 1211]
