John's first expedition to Ireland
: King
Henry II of England
knights his son and heir, the 18-year-old
Prince John
, newly created Lord of Ireland, and sends him to Ireland, accompanied by 300 knights and a team of administrators to enforce English control. Landing at Waterford, he treats the local Irish rulers with contempt, making fun of their unfashionable long beards. Also failing to make allies amongst the Anglo-Norman settlers, the English army is unable to subdue the Irish fighters in unfamiliar conditions and the expedition soon becomes a complete disaster. In December, John returns to
England
in defeat. Nonetheless, Henry gets him named 'King of Ireland' by
Pope Urban III
and procures a golden crown with peacock feathers.
