The Treaty of Windsor was signed in 1175 in Windsor, Berkshire between King Henry II of England and the High King of Ireland, Rory O'Connor. It was a territorial agreement signed during the time of Norman expansion in Ireland. The accord, overall, left Rory with a kingdom consisting of areas of Ireland outside Leinster, Meath, and Waterford, as long as he paid tribute to Henry II.
