King of Ireland

The title 'King of Ireland' was created by the Irish parliament during Henry VIII's rule to replace the title of 'Lord of Ireland' that had been granted by the papacy to the Norman monarch. The Pope responded by granting The Kingdom of Ireland to the King of Spain, but the defeat of the Spanish settled that dispute. In any case by 1625 Ireland was under the control of the English Crown and most of the Irish aristocracy, both Gaels and Normans recognised Charles as King of Ireland.
