English-ruled territory in Ireland established after the 1169-71 Anglo-Norman invasion, initially expanding across much of the island before contracting after 1315 to the fortified English Pale on the east coast; superseded in 1542 when Henry VIII was declared King of Ireland, creating the Kingdom of Ireland.
Superseded by the Crown of Ireland Act (1542), under which Henry VIII took the title King of Ireland, transforming the Lordship into the Kingdom of Ireland.
