Windsor, treaty of
Windsor, treaty of (6 Oct. 1175), between Henry II and Rory O'Connor. Rory had not made submission to Henry during his expedition to Ireland, September 1171–April 1172, and the treaty was intended to address this omission. By its terms, Henry II reserved Meath and Leinster and the cities of Dublin, Wexford, and Waterford as his sphere of lordship, confirmed Rory as king of Connacht, and ceded him overlordship of the remainder of Ireland conditional on payment of one‐tenth of all cattle tribute which Rory might collect, to be paid in the form of animal hides. The treaty failed because Henry II did not prevent Anglo‐Norman settlers from expanding beyond the area which he had claimed, while Rory proved unable to exert effective overlordship over the remainder of Ireland.

Windsor, treaty of
Windsor, treaty of, 1175. In 1171 Henry II took an expedition to Ireland to establish his authority. He received the submission of Normans and Irish alike, save for Rory O'Connor, king of Connacht, who claimed the high kingship of Ireland. But in 1175 O'Connor came to terms at Windsor, becoming the king's man. In return, Henry recognized his authority as high king outside the Pale. The arrangement did not work well and in 1185 Henry sent his youngest son John to rule Ireland.
