Then King Henry II became King of Ireland as well. He sent over some other Normans who arrived at Ireland in Baginbun, Wexford in 1170. King Henry II, King of England and part of France, thought that Strongbow was getting too powerful since Strongbow wasn’t actually the king, so Henry decided to take over the whole of Ireland. They first came to Ireland at Bannow Bay, Wexford in 1169 and soon they got the throne back for Diarmuid. Diarmuid had to pay Strongbow so he said that he could marry his daughter and become king when Diarmuid died. Diarmuid still wanted to be king so he hired some Normans, lead by Strongbow to help him get the throne back.
Then Rory O’Connor, the High King of Ireland fired him from being the King of Leinster. Normans in Ireland ĭiarmuid MacMurrough, King of Leinster kidnapped the King of Breifne’s wife. Norman houses had a wooden frame with sticks and twigs woven in between, which is called wattle, and then it was all covered in a layer of daub which was made from mud, wet clay, dung and straw. Norman built many stone castles that often had moats around them to protect them from intruders. They often used honey as a sweetener and for mead (an alcoholic drink). Normans ate dairy, oatmeal porridge, green vegetables and sometimes meat. The Normans wore woollen tunics and sometimes they wore a waistband to keep the tunic in place.
