late in 1225, thomas received monetary aid from the king in the form of an annuity of one hundred marks, likely meant to cover the military and territorial losses suffered by thomas in ulster. despite the reassurances from the english that the brothers' lands were to be protected, there is evidence suggesting that, by as late as 1227, their lands were still under threat from hugh. in 1229, alan and thomas were listed amongst other irish tenants-in-chief summoned to take part in a planned english military campaign in france. although thomas obeyed the king, alan—who had not received royal compensation for his toils in ireland—declined henry's summons. it was likely in the same year that alan married hugh's daughter, rose, as recorded by the "chronicle of lanercost". it is possible that alan commenced this union in an effort to salvage something of his family's prospects in ulster which had by then fallen under hugh's overlordship. it may have also been an attempt by alan to gain another ally to assist him in the isles. in any case, the irish ambitions that alan had doggedly pursued since 1212 had finally come to an end.
