http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermot_MacMurrough
Diarmaid Mac Murchadha , anglicized as Dermot MacMurrough was a King of Leinster in Ireland. Ousted as King of Leinster in 1166, he sought military assistance from King Henry II of England to retake his kingdom. In return, MacMurrough pledged an Oath of Allegiance to Henry, who sent troops in support. As a further thanks for his reinstatement, MacMurrough's daughter Aoife was married to Richard de Clare, the 2nd Earl of Pembroke and a Cambro-Norman lord, known as "Strongbow". Henry II then mounted a larger second invasion in 1171 to ensure his control over Strongbow, since then parts or all of Ireland has been ruled or reigned over by the monarchs of England.
