Lordship of Ireland The Lordship of Ireland (1171-1541) was a nominally all-island Irish state created in the wake of the Norman invasion of the east coast of Ireland in 1169, an area that became known in the later middle ages as the Pale or Pale of Dublin from its defences in imitation of the earlier-named Pale of Calais. The authority of the Lordship of Ireland's government was never extended throughout the island of Ireland at any time during its existence but was restricted to the Pale, and some provincial towns, including Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford, Wexford and their hinterlands.

The Lordship was bordered by JĂĽlich to the south, west and north, and the Archbishopric of Cologne to the east.
Lordship salvation Lordship salvation is a teaching in Christian theology which maintains that good works are a necessary consequence of being declared righteous before God. The doctrine of lordship salvation is that Jesus cannot be considered a person's savior (that is, bringer of salvation) without simultaneously being lord of the person's life, which is demonstrated by the gradual purification from sin and the exercising of good works (for instance, caring for widows and orphans, James 1:27).

Local Lorentz covariance refers to Lorentz covariance applying only locally in an infinitesimal region of spacetime at every point, which follows from general relativity.
Lorentz ether theory In physics, what is nowadays called Lorentz ether theory (or "LET"), proposed that light was transmitted through a light medium in which the motion of objects did not cause dragging effects, but did cause objects to contract in their direction of motion (Fitzgerald-Lorentz contraction). This was used as an explanation of why the Michelson-Morley experiment had failed to detect an aether drag effect.
