TheIrish welcomed him because he alone could bridle the invaders, and theinvaders submitted to him because they dared not resist him. Hegathered a synod of the clergy at Cashel, and arranged for the futurediscipline of the Church. Unhappily he could not remain long inIreland, and when he left it the old anarchy and violence blazed upagain. Though Henry had not served Ireland, he had gained his ownpersonal ends. He had fright...ened Strongbow and his followers, and hadshown the Pope, by his proceedings at Cashel, that his friendship wasworth having.
