Irish Clans and Their WAR Cries

In this video, we delve into the complex and fascinating world of ancient Ireland, where the concept of a unified nation was unheard of. Instead, the island was divided into many clan-based groups, each exercising limited power and sovereignty over their familial domains.
Sluaghghairm - The Battle Cry
Each of these family based factions had their own sluaghghairm, or ‘battle-cry’, associated to their family line or tribe, usually derived by the followers of great families or chieftains to act as a hue and cry, a rallying call to all able-bodied kinsmen, a cry of war from which its hearers drew an almost supernatural ancestral strength and courage to fight on.
One of the defining features of this society was the importance placed on family and lineage. Each family group and collection of families occupying a territory were seen as their own sovereign and independent nation, with their own clan leaders and battle cries.
These battle cries, known as sluagh-ghairm, were used to rally kinsmen to battle and were a defining feature of Irish society at the time. From the famous "Red Hand to Victory" of the O'Neills, to the "Strong Hand to Victory" of the O'Briens, each family had its own unique cry, steeped in history and tradition.

The concept of Ireland the nation was clearly conceived through the long list of High Kings that appear in Irish literature (and law) from the earliest writing.

@cigh7445 4 жыл бұрын

Aye but the High King rarely had influence over the whole country. Most often it was the O'Neill dynasty which sometimes had influence over much of Ulster, Connacht and Leinster, but a lot of times the High King had no influence outside of the Uí Néill dynasty and the province of Meath. The kingdom of Munster was rarely under the influence of the High Kingship. The title of High King was more like the WWE wrestling title it seems. Everybody fights each other for it and then whoever wins gets a share of everybody else's riches/cattle until they are challenged again!

Interior such as Mercia and Wessex They did not have no notion of a high King over them.

0:22 It WAS a country. The Brehon Law was used over all Irishmen. There was a High King Of Ireland. The Irishmen all had the same Irish culture. The clans didn't identify as a nation. There was a complex system but Ireland was without a doubt a nation. Was the Holy Roman Empire a country? Yes. The clans controlled their region and often tried take more land from other clans but the fact they all used the same law and had a High King means that it was undoubtadly a single country.

@dannunakifuque7795 4 жыл бұрын

The clans did not take land. Under Brehon Law the people didn't own the land they were tenders to the land. Meaning that if they kept the land in good standing as in fruitful rich and furtile, then they could pass it on. If they let the land go to shit, the regional king would pass it to another family member and the former land tender would have to work the land with out deed or title to make up for letting the land go to ruin. This was about farming and ecosystem. They were responsible for the environmental well being of the land like tending to forests, and crops. The over all policy disputes of Brehon were deliberated over by a council of kings in Tara. If their were local land disputes the local King would over see the dispute. If there was land theft the High King of Tara would refer to the local ovates on the record of deeds, and proper ownership in the sense of who the tender to the land was. Otherwise I agree.

I used the words "one nation", not country. You differ only on semantics. There was seldom ever a high-king without opposition. You literally make my point in your 3rd sentence. Parts of Ireland are even still named after the various clan territories. Eoghan's Country (now Tyrone) was literally that. I'm presenting the history as it was and avoiding romanticism. Calm down.

One of my most precious photos is of my Dad sitting on his Dad's Rudge motorcycle, sometime during the 1920s in Sheffield. The Rudge badge includes a red hand and there was a Rudge Ulster model. My grandfather used to be a music hall comedian who went by the name Tom O'Neill ! I don't think we had any Irish connections, (apart from my now being married to a lass whose Dad came from Mitchelstown, who was a Burke). Thank you for giving me another possible hint at the character of my grandfather on my Dad's side, who I sadly never met.

There was a high King but there was continual warfare between the junior kings and chieftains if you read the annals of Leinster ,it would make your hair stand on end, people seemed to have nothing better to do but fight. And it was real "in" fighting for instance,one battle the people of Fingal (around Dublin) would decide to attack Cork ,the army would march for days over 200 miles. the people who I pity most were the isolated cottagers on their march south ,they burnt them out killed their animals and if they resisted,also themselves.in one episode they burnt Cork to the ground,and killed anyone not lucky enough to flee, within a few weeks the Cork army marched to Fingal burning and pillaging as they went,on their merry way, they eventually arrived at a little village of Lusk just North of Dublin, the population men women children headed for the safety of the Round tower,attached to the church and about 300 people went inside, pulled up the ladder and bolted the great door which was 20 ft above ground level, When the cork army arrived,they battered down the door,didnt enter as there was a narrow winding 100 ft staircase inside, but got a brilliant idea, piled a gigantic mound of firewood inside and lit it. Everyone inside was burnt to death. Done to a crisp I suppose, but neither side learned their lesson these raids went on for hundreds of years. Talk about having a long memory but not a very bright one. Did it never strike anyone that they could have had s nice peaceful life if they found something better to do,than go on these quests for power Silly duffers, Its all in a book The history of Fingal

It's similar to Japan. Japan had several warring factions, and they did have an emperor, but the emperor's power usually was ceremonial in nature. A united nation doesn't war upon itself. Eventually one alliance of Japanese won out over the other and they ended up with the Tokugawa Shogunate that would lead to modern Japan.

Words relating to Cathal pronounce "Cah' al" are all related to "battle" like McCarthy, McCahill, Kavanaugh, Conor, Callahan, Carol, Karen (Karen is simply Catherine with a silent "th"), Campbell, Caitlyn, Charles, etc. The word in Hebrew for war is "mil cah ma", mil- military (Milesian) cah- war or battle is also associated with Mi-ka or Michael, that "ka" is everywhere in the Gaelic language and all European languages especially military words like "sargeant" (cargeant), "colonel", "candidate", "campus", "castle" but most importantly "Celt" or "Kelt" and how it relates in another alphabet as "Gael" or Gaul as in Michael and or Miguel. A Kelt was really a Kell (or a Call and may without a doubt be related to the called out ones).

Here in Ireland,if you research through Church parish records , which you have to if you want to trace back further than about 1880, its amazing the changes in spelling in just one surname, my maternal grandmothers name for instance is spelled Ledwich, Ledwidge, Ledwige and a few others I can't recall, it seemed to be at the whim of the clerk or priest who recorded the birth ( mostly) or marriage, and the changes can be in one generation, my grandmother was one of 7 children, all these variations of surname occurs with her siblings baptismal records ,, another whim of the clerk or priest recording baptisms is that most wrote after the child's name if appropriate " illegitimate" but a few in the same parish wrote " bastard " Had one in my family, after Whelehan" bastard" was scrawled " parents later married" so Rose Whelehan turned into Rose Carroll, apparantly Dad Whelehan had a shotgun.

Also you can interchange names that begin with "O/Mac/Ni/UI" as they all essentially mean "descendent of" in male/female/neutral denominations. Rooneys and O'Rooneys would normally hail from a common family group. Normally being the key word because there was probably more than one Irish man named Rooney historically 😂

She later anglicized it to Garvey. Which I looked up and Garvey somehow comes from Gairbhshíth, Gairbheith, Gairbith? Other than the American way of pronouncing Garvey (gar-vee) I have no idea how to pronounce the other names. Also, what would it have been to add "kil" and then take it away. This is all confusing.

@@padraigkelleher4620 Exactly, I'm American and know that, some of my ancestors via my mothers side the McDonalds can be found in both Scotland and Ireland. McDonald/McDonnell/MacDonald/MacDonnell/McConnell is a name that can be found in Scotland and Ireland, and both among Catholic and Protestant families. It originated in Scotland. The famous Scottish Clan started in the Hebrides of Western Scotland as a Norse-Gael people, a mixture of Norwegian Vikings who had set up a Norse kingdom that stretched from Waterford, Wexford, and Dublin, and the Isle of Man, and up to the Western Coast of Scotland, and all the way over to Iceland and Shetland Islands, and the earlier native Gael settlers who had island hopped over to the coast of Scotland via Donegal and Ulster in Ireland 1,000 years ago bringing the Old Irish Gaelic that would develop into the Scottish Gaelic language to Scotland as part of Dal Riada. The MacDonnells having ancient ancestral ties to Ireland, and being one of the most prominent warring Scottish Clans, and having had developed more recent familial ties to Ireland, would go to participate in local wars as hired mercenaries.The Clan sent many many Gallowglass to Ireland, particularly to County Mayo in service and support of the Norman-Irish Burke Clan, but also throughout the Island. There was even an occasion where hired MacDonnells fought one another when Clan Burke had a civil war between two factions. In addition to the MacDonnells, there were other Scottish Norse-Gael Clans like the MacSweeneys, MacSheehys, etc. many whose members stayed in Ireland and their descendants today live on carrying Gallowglass descended surnames.
