The king spent the winter in Dublin in a palace of wattles, the best lodging which the country could afford. In the spring he was able to report to Alexander that the obnoxious customs were abolished, that Catholic discipline had been introduced, and that the Irish tribute would be thenceforward punctually remitted to the papal treasury. Could he have remained in Ireland for another year, the conquest would have been completed ; but in April he was recalled to meet the two cardinals who had arr...ived in Normandy to receive his sub- mission for Becket's death. The Irish annexation was, of course, a service which was permitted to be counted in his favour, but the circumstances of the murder, and Henry's conduct in connection with it, both before and after, still required an appearance of scrutiny. Not the least remarkable feature in the story is that the four knights had not been punished. They had not even been arrested. They had gone together, after leaving Canterbury, to De Morville's Castle of Knaresborough, but they had received no further molestation.
