EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Irish history - the Norman invasion of Ireland in 1170. Dermot MacMorrough, also known as Dimarmait Mac Murchada or Dimarmaid na NGall, is depicted seeking the assistance of King Henry II of England to reclaim his kingdom of Leinster. In exchange for Henry's support, Dermot pledges his allegiance to the English monarch.
The image portrays the complex political dynamics and power struggles that characterized this period. The first Plantagenet king of England, Henry II, authorizes Dermot to raise forces from among the English to aid in his quest to regain his crown. This alliance ultimately led to part of Ireland coming under English control for the first time.
Illustrated by James Doyle in 1864 as part of ""A Chronicle-of-England,"" this historical moment is brought vividly to life through intricate detail and expert craftsmanship. The tension and intrigue surrounding Dermot's plea for help are palpable, hinting at the far-reaching consequences that would result from this fateful decision.
As we gaze upon this scene from centuries past, we are reminded of the enduring impact of alliances forged and kingdoms lost. It serves as a poignant reminder of how history continues to shape our world today.
