Gaelic Nobility Of Ireland
This article concerns the Gaelic nobility of Ireland from ancient to modern times. It only partly overlaps with Chiefs of the Name because it excludes Scotland and other discussion. It is one of three groups of Irish nobility, the others being those nobles descended from the Hiberno-Normans and those granted titles of nobility in the Peerage of Ireland. Legal status By the time of the Treaty of Limerick, almost all Gaelic nobles had lost any semblance of real power in their (former) domains. Today, such historical titles have no legal status in the Republic of Ireland. Unlike in Northern Ireland, which is a part of the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland does not confer titles of nobility under its constitution. From 1943 until 2003, some of the modern representatives of the Gaelic nobility obtained a courtesy recognition as Chiefs of the Name from the Irish government. The practice ended in 2003 following certain scandals (including a 'hoax' associated with Terence ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
