In April 1185 John was knighted and
travelled to Ireland to take control.
The expedition was a disaster as the
Prince was too young and took friends of a similar age who treated
the Irish chiftains with contempt. The soldiers John took with him
could not operate effectively against Irish in their terrain and so
by the end of the year John and his followers returned in England.
It was left to William Marshal to take
control in Ireland.
