    Dermot MacMurrough, king of Leinster, escaped to England after being defeated by rivals Rory and Tiernan. He asked King Henry II for help defeating them. In 1536, England changed from Catholic to Protestant under King Henry VIII, while Ireland remained Catholic. This led to much fighting as the English usually defeated the Irish Catholics. Oliver Cromwell later took the English army to Ireland and massacred thousands of Catholic civilians in Drogheda during this period of religious conflict and English conquest.
