Who was the first king of Ireland?

Answer 1

In terms of the temporal, this is debatable, as Irish genealogy stretches much further back than written records, which did not exist in Ireland before the time of Christ. The answer is therefore uncertain. The first High King of the entire island of Ireland of whose historiciity we can be totally certain was perhaps Niall Noigiallach (in English, Niall of the Nine Hostages) who ruled in the fifth century. There are numerous earlier kings listed in early Irish histories, but we cannot be certain of the accuracy of the accounts given of these kings. Niall Noigiallach is also said to have ruled parts of Britain, including the Irish colony which eventually conquered the whole of northern Britain and founded Scotland.

However it must be noted that the vast majority of Irish people, being Roman Catholic, adhere to the believe that Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary, is, was and always will be, the one and only Queen of Ireland.

Answer 2

The most well known King of Ireland was The High King Brian Boru. A common name in Ireland is O'Brien, meaning "from brian". The name O'Brien indicates that the family are decendants of the High King Brian Boru.

Answer 3

This is not known for certain. One opinion is that two brothers, Heber and Heremon jointly ruled some Irish territory about 3700 years ago, and that they were the first Irish kings.

Answer 4

The first king of Ireland was Éireamhón (1434-1418 BC) called Éremón in Old Irish.
