Research Notes:
Niall of the Nine Hostages, from whom his territory and descendants were caled
Ui Neill [Ref: Kelley Munro p76]
445-453: High King in Ireland [Ref: Kelley Munro p76]
death date often wrongly adjusted in an attempt to justify the unrealistic
view that St. Patrick was the first to bring Christianity to Ireland [Ref:
Kelley Munro p76]
The dictionary account [which calls Niall a chief king in Ireland, that
assisted the Dal Riada in the conquest of Scotland and the plunder of Britain
in 0379] was most likely based on an older printed history of Ireland. Recent
histories are much more skeptical. Niall is not a historical figure per se,
but has assumed importance as the common ancestor (and the source of the name
of) the Ui Neill, the politically dominent sept in Ireland at the dawn of
recorded history. However, there is nothing that can be said for certain
regarding him. What can be said is that he PROBABLY existed, and was probably
the ancestor of at least some (though hardly all) of the Irish families which
claimed descent from him. If he did exist, then he would almost certainly have
died in the middle of the fifth century, and not in 405 as the
pseudohistorians gave it. No details of his life can bediscerned, as it is
impossible to distinguish genuine tradition from the political propoganda of
the Ui Neill, who retroactively converted Niall and his mythical ancestors
into powerful Irish kings, in order to enhance their political position by
claiming that their family had ruled Ireland from time immemorial. [Ref:
