He returned to England and sought out the King who was in Wales. He offered to do homage for his inheritance, but Henry, at the suggestion of Hubert de Burgh, Justicar of England, declined, under the plea that the late Earl's widow was pregnant. Richard was ordered to leave the realm within fifteen days, and left for Ireland where his brothers were with an Army. They seized Castle Pembroke, and prepared to enforce his rights. King Henry, fearing open war, accepted his homage and recognized him as the Earl of Pembroke.
