| | PRETENDER FACTS AND INFORMATION |
| | The High King of Ireland was essentially a ceremonial, pseudo-federal overlord (where his over-lordship was even recognised), who exercised actual power only within the realm of which he was actually king. | | | That is, the head of state of any kingdom, sub-kingdom, high kingdom, etc., was always a king, but the king always inherited the crown through his mother, as a ranking princess royal, not through his father. | | | Perhaps it is just as well the main of Ireland is a republic with an elected president, while the six northeastern counties still operate under the successor to the old Anglo-Norman and Anglo-Scottish Lords and Kings of Ireland, pursuant to the Act_of_Union_of_1800 and the subsequent partition of 1921. |

| | Diarmuid MacMorrough - definition of Diarmuid MacMorrough in Encyclopedia |
| | In Irish history today Dermot MacMorrough is written as being a traitor, however technically his intention was never to aid an English invasion of Ireland, but to become the High King of Ireland himself with the help of the English King, he had no way of knowing Henry II's ambitions on Ireland. | | | MacMorrough was ousted from his throne, but was able to regain it with the help of Leinster clans in 1133, afterwards followed two decades of an uneasy peace between the High King Turloch O'Connor and King Dermot. | | | Whether Dermot MacMorrough was an actual "Benedict Arnold" or "Vidkun Quisling" (names of infamous American and Norwegian turncoats) can be debated, however when looking at history it appears more likely that he was not a traitor, but another ambitious petty king, whose eyes where bigger than his stomach. |
