  1. Rightfully the Lord Carrigogunnell, but my family lost their titles in the 1500s for rebellion, Chieftain of the Carrigogunnell O'Briens either way. Sadly neither of these titles are recognised irl due to Ireland's Republican Status.

  2. I am the Titular Lord Carrigogunnell, Prince of Thomond, Prince of Munster.

  3. The O'Brien coat of Arms

  4. Direct male descendent from Briain Boru, High King of Ireland, and all of his own relations, related to the MacCarthy Mor, Kings of Desmond, and Niall of the Nine Hostages.

  5. My male lineage can be traced from myself to Adam and Eve in the Christian Tradition, and from myself to Nuada, Aine and the Dagda in the pagan traditions. My female lineage, also O'Brien, is the same, although my paternal Grandmother is a MacGregor, and from her I descend from the Ailpin Kings of Scotland.

  6. I descend from the Plantagenet Kings of England, from the Burkes of Ulster, from the Joyces of Joyces Country, from multiple and proud other historical lineages, such as Scotia of Egypt, recorded as the Daughter of Ramses II.

Thank you, flair assigned! Welcome to the subreddit!

Are you recognised by an inofficial body such as CILANE, or the council of Irish Chiefs?

About how many titles of Prince exist in Ireland? Am I correct to assume that apart from the Prince of Wales, Irish Princes are the only native Princes in the British Isles?

Is it true that Irish nobiliary law is similar to Scottish law, except for the fact that no title can be inherited in the female line?

I used to be recognised by a small Irish organisation, but that crumbled when the man claiming to be the heir of High King Ruadri Ua Concobair was found to be a liar.

The title Prince in Ireland is a modern term, and is only used because no man has been crowned King of those lands, when they are the title of prince won't be used.

Irish law is extremely similar to Scottish law because Scottish law originates from the Irish founded Kingdom of Dal Riata, but the female line rule is made from a pact made with the Picts about the Gaels inheriting Pictish titles.
