Christianity had already spread to Ireland by 438, when the Irish High King, Laighaire, held a folk-moot at Tara, on questions of faith. As representatives, there were 3 kings, 3 Brehona (pagan law-speakers) and 3 Christian missionaries. The laws that were drawn up contained elements from pagan and Christian law. These remained valid until superseded by English law in the seventeenth century.
St Patrick is said to have established Christianity as the official religion of Ireland in 448. If so, paganism seems to have continued to flourish, since the Christian monk, Ruadhan of Lothra, cursed Tara in 554, presumably because people still venerated its sacred nature.
The Vikings colonised Ireland at the end of the 8th century and Ireland once more became dual-faith.
