John Fitz Geoffrey who wa still the English Justicar in Ireland returned to England, as Henry 111 the English Norman King was now engaged in War with "Spain." Henry 111 the "fourth" Norman English King had granted most of the vast confiscated Estates previously held by Richard Marshall who nhad been the third Marshall and an Anglo - Norman Baron who held territory in Ireland, Wales, Scotland, the Channel Islands, and Gascony, to his own son, the future Edward 1st, who would become (The Hammer of the Scots) while he retained the English Lordship of Ireland for "himself." An English Parliament was now set up in Dublin in Co. Dublin in the north - east of Southern Leinster made up of Anglo - Norman Barons and clergy "only," with another one for the "commoners" to voice their grievances, which certainly did not prosper, as the English Galls, due to their continual ongoing "greed," now fought among "themselves" for position and territory, and the Charter land of Ireland was never separated from the Crown of England, but Henry 111's aggressive son, Prince Edward (Edward 1st) "Longshanks" was to still interfere in Ireland never the less.
