Kings of Airgíalla

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

List of the Kings of Airgíalla, seventh to sixteenth centuries. Airgíalla was one of the three major kingdoms that formed what is now the province of Ulster. It was a confederacy of nine kingdoms, ruled by one of its three most powerful kings, so its kingship frequently passed between several families.
