See AConn. 1240.3. In that year, Felim complained in person to Henry III of his grievances against Richard de Burgo, justiciar of Ireland, who was taking over O'Connor lands in Connacht while bringing in Norman and Welsh settlers. The court of the justiciar was the supreme court of law in Ireland which, albeit liable to review from England, was virtually independent and showed only nominal adherence to the crown. Though well-received by Henry III, therefore, Felim O'Connor's demands were ignored by Anglo-Norman lords in Ireland.
