Following his expulsion from Ireland by King John in 1210, Hugh II de Lacy spent thirteen years in exile before returning to invade parts of Meath and his former earldom of Ulster. During his absence he is known to have been in France. Examining Hugh’s career in the years prior to his exile from Ireland, this paper focuses on his conflict with John de Courcy and King John in Ulster. De Lacy’s pivotal role in the Albigensian Crusade and his subsequent appointment by Simon de Montfort as the lord of Castelnaudary and Laurac in the south of France are also explored. Drawing on works of contemporary chroniclers and other documentary sources, this paper reconstructs de Lacy’s movements in Languedoc, and a potential line of cause and effect from expulsion to crusade is explored.
