Legatenkonzil; 1177
A provincial synod was summoned by Vivianus, the papal legate, who proclaimed the suzerainty of King Henry II as approved by the pope and decreed that henceforth the Irish should obey the king’s orders. English troops were also to be granted access to provisions stored in Irish churches when on campaign. This may have been an attempt to eradicate the Irish practice of ‘coign and livery’ which was so resented by the clergy, but whether that is correct or not, it was certainly designed to enforce the subjugation of Ireland to their new Anglo-Norman overlords. As such, it may have been successful in the areas effectively conquered by them, but probably not elsewhere.
