Brian Boru

...From the late 8th century to the 10th century, the Vikings often raided Ireland, stealing treasures from monasteries, but they also built seaport cities such as Dublin and Cork, settled there, and began to trade. The Irish were unable to resist the Vikings, but finally, in 1014, under the command of Brian Boru, King of Munster, they defeated them at the Battle of Clontarf, and the Vikings who lived in the cities gradually became Irish.
[Norman Invasion and English Conquest]
After the death of Borgh, there was constant conflict between the various kings, and in the 12th century, King Diarrhea MacMurrough of Leinster asked King Henry II of England for help in recovering his lost territories.
