Amargh is a city in Northern Ireland, the capital of County Armagh. In Irish it is known as Ard Mhacha, or Macha's Height. It was founded in 444 by St. Patrick.
Armagh has been the spiritual capital of Ireland for 1500 years, and it is the seat of both Protestant and Roman Catholic Archbishops.
Brian Boru is buried in the cemetery of the Protestant Cathedral in Armagh. He is credited with driving the Norsemen out of Ireland in 1014.
Armagh has a campus of Queen's University, Belfast.
The city is run by Amargh City and District Council, which covers a larger area than just the city, but not the entire county.
