An English Ordinance was put forward in Ireland that all free Irish men should have available to them the rights of English Law, but due to the never b- ending oppression and confiscations it was all too late as the Gaelic Irish were still very committed to the Irish Brehon Law and there was also still a majority Gaelic Irish population.
March:
Edward 111 the Norman English KIng imposed English Law in Ireland
this time with
heavy burdens on the majority
Gaelic Irish population, and
Richard Fitz Ralph who was now the Catholic Archbishop of Armagh
denounced it as the Law of the Devil.
Edward 111 the Norman English King sent over Anthony de Lacy to be the newly
appointed
English
Justiciar in Ireland to undo whatever Roger Mortimer had
previously done, and to restore English authority in
Ireland, and also to attack
Maurice
Fitz Thomas Fitz Gerald the English first Earl of
Desmond, and also arrest any of the
lower Norman English Barons. Among these were Henry
de Mandeville, Walter de Burgh and
Walter de Bermingham, and also William de Bermingham who would be eventually
executed in July; 1332 AD. This severe direct action was to really shock the Anglo
- Irish / Old English and this then led to no more
casual treason being carried out by them as regards the English cause in
Ireland.
