Council of Oxford

Last updated

The Council of Oxford was a historical council where Henry II of England granted Cork and Limerick to English barons, provided for the administration of Leinster and made his son John Lord of Ireland. [1] It was established in the 1170s and lasted until 1258, when the Oxford Parliament (known as the "Mad Parliament") ended it during the reign of Henry III of England.
