- Kings of Airgíalla
List of the Kings of
Oirialla ,, (Old Irish: "Airgíalla") seventh to sixteenth centuries. Airgíalla was one of the three major kingdoms that formed what is now the province ofUlster ,. It was a confederacy of nine kingdoms, ruled by one of its three most powerful kings, so its kingship frequently passed between several families.The O'Carrolls, a noble clan of the race of the Dal Fiatachs, were at the time of St. Patrick, kings of Oriell, or that part of it comprising the county of Louth. The Dal Fiatachs or Dalfiatacians, who founded many powerful families in Ulster, particularly in Dalaradia or Down, were descended from Fiatach Fionn, legendary high king of Ireland at the commencement of the second century, of the race of Eremon. The O'Carrolls continued kings of Oriel, down to the
12th century , when they were dispossessed by theAnglo-Normans , underJohn de Courcy ,. Donogh O'Carroll, prince of Oriel, the last celebrated head of this dynasty, founded the great Abbey ofMellifont , in Louth, in the twelfth century.The Mac Mahon family styled themselves Princes of Oriel.
