[edit] Comments
No place for Brian Ua Neill and Edubard a Briuis? What about King Haakon? :) Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 08:44, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- I stopped with the Normans. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Since the title got changed from 450-1175 to 400-1175, I will mention this is based on the ODNB article on Niall (died circa 452, undue precision surely) and Charles-Edwards, Early Christian Ireland, p. 441 (floruit mid-C5th).

[edit] High Kings?
Is there a reason the template doesn't say "High Kings of Ireland" at the top? When I first saw it some weeks ago I thought it was a template of all the kings in Ireland, not just high kings. Srnec (talk) 16:57, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- That's a good question. The answer is that there is no one title that plainly unites all of the people on the template. King of Ireland was shorter, and seemed to be no more misleading, than any alternative title. Angus McLellan (Talk) 18:46, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

- Template title is no big deal. Also, the latter bunch of these kings are quite entitled to be called, as they were in contemporary Irish and foreign sources, Kings of Ireland. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 18:51, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
