- Henry II of England invades Ireland with the aid of the ousted King of Leinster, Diarmait Mac Murchada (dies May 1).

Ascall mac Ragnaill, last Norse–Gaelic King of Dublin, is captured while trying to retake Dublin from the Cambro-Norman Richard de Clare (Strongbow), perhaps in company with Sweyn Asleifsson, and beheaded; before the end of the year, de Clare relinquishes possession of the city to his own liege lord, Henry.
