By the second half of the 14th century, Ireland suffered from in-fighting, the aftermath of the plague, lack of interest by the English throne and a resurgence of power from the Irish chiefs. All led to a loss of control by the Anglo-Normans loyal to the throne, forcing them to retreat to a twenty-mile strip in the Dublin area. This well-defended area became known as ‘The Pale’. Anglo-Norman families outside of this area have now gone native and assimilated themselves into the Irish establishment. They were now known as 'Old English' by the English still loyal to the Crown. In 1367 The authorities of the Pale became more concerned. Successive kings of England had left their constitutional authority not just to the English of the Pale. But also to the powerful Fitzgerald earls as well. In Kilkenny, the Pale authorities passed special legislation (known as the Statutes of Kilkenny) banning all English descendants from speaking the Irish language, wearing Irish clothes or inter-marrying with Irish families. However, Dublin’s English controlled government had little absolute authority, so the statutes had little effect on the de Lacys of Limerick. The de Lacy's in Ireland now lived beyond the Pale.
