Roderick succeeded to Connaught in 1156, and after ten years' fighting won back the See also:title of high king. His See also:ill-advised persecution of Dermot (Diarmait MacMurchada), king of See also:Leinster, furnished the pretext for the Anglo-See also:Norman invasion of Ireland. Roderick endeavoured to expel the invaders, but was driven behind the See also:Shannon. He delayed his submission to See also:- HENRY

Henry IL until 1175, when a treaty was concluded at See also:Windsor. Roderick, under this agreement, held Connaught as the See also:vassal of See also:England, and exercised lordship over all the native See also:kings and chiefs of Ireland; in return he undertook to pay an See also:annual See also:tribute. The treaty did not put an end to the See also:wars of the Norman adventurers against Connaught and Roderick's dependants. He held out till 1191; but then, weary of strife, retired to the See also:cloister.
He died in 1198, the last of the high kings of Ireland.
