Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life and Death of the Irish Parliament, Vol. 1: A Lecture
It may be strongly argued that Henry's use of the title of Conqueror' was a palpable misnomer, on the ground that con quest means the acquisition of a kingdom by force of arms, to which force likewise has been opposed. Whereas Henry's invasion was only a polite visit - no violence used; all being conducted with the utmost tranquillity and courtesy. Or, to use the words of Molyneux in his celebrated pamphlet of the P Case of Ireland Stated, there was an entire and voluntary Submission of all the ecclesiastical and civil states of Ireland to King Henry IL, without the least hostile strike on any Side; we hear not in any of the chronicles of any violence on either part all was transacted with the greatest quiet, tran quillity, and freedom imaginable. England may be said much more properly to have been conquered by Wila liam I. Than Ireland by Henry II. Henry received not the least opposition in Ireland; all came in peaceably, and had large concessions made them of the like laws and liberties with the people of England, which they gladly accepted.
