List Of High Kings Of IrelandThe High Kingship of Ireland was a pseudohistorical construct of the eighth century AD, a projection into the distant past of a political entity that did not become reality until the ninth century. The traditional list of High Kings of Ireland is thus a mixture of fact and fiction, the individuals appearing prior to the fifth century AD being fictions and the application of the title to individuals before the ninth century being anachronistic. The annalists frequently describe later high kings as rig erenn co fressabra (kings of Ireland with opposition) but it is important to realise that these kings were with opposition only when compared to the imagined high kings of an idealised past and that Ireland as a national kingdom lacking a settled monarchy was well within the European norm. High Kings of Ireland, 1934 BC - 1186 AD AFM: chronology from the Annals of the Four Masters; FFE: chronology based on reign-lengths given in Seathrn Citinn's Forus Feasa ar Erinn. Both were compiled ca. 1634 from much the same sources. Ctinn's chronology is considerably shorter than the Four Masters'.
