• Notes

  Notes for Arnulph de Montgomery: Arnoul married Lafracota, daughter of a king of Ireland, and by conquest obtained that part of South Wales now called Pembrokeshire, and, building a castle there, appears to have been sometime entitled Earl of Pembroke, as his brother was of Lancaster. "He was the fifth son of Roger de Montgomery and took a prominent part in the Norman invasion of Wales ... He built Pembroke Castle about 1983, and as has been set forth in the history of Wales, he was in league with some of the Welsh princes in the favor of Robert Duke of Normandy, in his attempt to remove his brother King Henry Beauclare from the English throne. About this time Arnulf entered into an alliance with Muircertach, King of Munster, Ireland, who gave him his daughter in marriage and promised to make him his successor. The attempt to depose King Henry was, however, unsuccessful, and Arnulf went to the court of Muircertach for assistance, which he was unable to give; and in face he expected aid from his son-in-law against Magnus, the Danish King. Later on, in 1102, Muircertach courted the favor of King Henry and took back his daughter from Arnulf and gave her to another man, and even plotted against his life (Brittanica, Vol. XIII. p. 254, 9th Ed.) "... Arnulf married, after much negotiation, the daughter of Murchadh, King of Leinster, Ireland, and died the next day."
