Irish Royalty

DEFTLEFTHAND · 17-05-2014 11:33AM #1

Anyone here from the families of Tara? The last family who held the seat were the Ua Conchobhair, my own clan a great royal people, my mother is O'Neill so I'm bullet proof to any 'true gael' republican types with planters surnames. Hardwise peasant types getting emotional.

Anyone else of a Royal lineage?

O' Brien
O' Connor
O' Neill (Domnall in 956 before they get prissy about Ulster)
Mc'Donnell.

These are examples of Irish Royal families in the latter period of the High Kings.

None of this matters and you are silly for caring about it.

I'm the King of the Travellers.

I am O'Neill. Most important clan in Irish history and possibly oldest surname in Europe.

I have no problem with republicans having English surnames though, it's only 1 side of their descent. We were from Iberia if you go back far enough.

also, there was a High-King named Muirchertach Mac Lochlainn as well.

Did they ever manage to prove that? I thought recent research suggested that was a bit of an origin myth.

Anywho, I believe I'm part Viking Cambro-Norman...

i don't know, i read somewhere recently that there was a lot of dna connection between Galicia and Ireland and that it supported the mythology a bit

I'm sure the OP is more than capable of deciding what is or isn't relevant. And how does having an interest in genealogy qualify as being silly?

trancemuzic · 17-05-2014 12:58PM

I'm related to king Tutunkhamun

Somewhere on my mothers side of the family , we go way back me and Tut

But it might have been through marriage so don't know if that still counts

I genuinely think claiming you've royal blood is silly but each to their own.

:P

It's very serious business for us. You have to be born into one of these families to properly understand. :pac::mad:

your just ashamed of your Viking blood around Cork

It's also useful in Norn Ireland to know you have royal blood as our orange neighbours think they rule the place 'our wee country' and all that

I think I actually might.

The Iberian claim is to account for the so called Black Irish of the Spanish Armada. The big thing I always used to hear was that the Irish and Scots aren't Celts , we're mongrel anglo saxon and other breeds.

Celts were in mainland Europe, you'll notice that facial features of a Celt look nothing Irish or Scots, sallower skin pointy noses and dark hair.
