List of High Kings of Ireland

List of High Kings of Ireland

The traditional list of High Kings of Ireland is probably a mixture of legend and fact. Certainly, the information before around 150 AD is probably nothing more than fiction, and the dates before around 850 AD or so probably cannot be fully trusted.
