1170 CE

Strongbow himself arrives in August 1170.

He soon marries Diarmait's daughter, Aoife, and is named as heir to the Kingdom of Leinster.

This latter development causes consternation to Henry II, who fears the establishment of a rival Norman state in Ireland.

Accordingly, he resolves to visit Leinster to establish his authority.
