king of England, as he was about embarking for Ireland. Ii^ land ^vious to the year 1172 had been divided into fire y Google 144 POSTRT ro& SCHOOL!. iodependent kingdoms. Two kings of Ireland, Dennod and Roderick O'Connor, iiad a desperate war, and the former came over to £ng1and to solicit the interference of Henry II. in bis behalf, and Henry availed himself of this strife to include Ireland in his dominions. He first obtained the gifl of that island in a hull from the Pope^ who in that age c...laimed the right to dispose of kingdoms ; and when Henry went over to Ireland with the Pope's bull, and an army to enforce it, the country was partially surrendered to him. Henry's army was, as appears by the poem, attended by a company of bards, who entertained the king with their songs. Just before the embarkation for Ireland, one of the bards is represented as celebrating Prince Ar- thur, and declaring that the hero had been carried away by the enchanter Merlin, and was destined to reappear at a future time in Britain ; but another of the tuneful bre- thren asserts that no enchanter bore him off the field of battle, and demands of the king to repair to his tomb, and, by some religious services in honour of him, pay homage to his departed glory.
