Gaelic Kingdoms

Gaelic kingdoms were political and social structures in Ireland and Scotland, primarily during the early medieval period. They consisted of small, territorial units led by chieftains or kings, often plotting alliances and rivalries. These kingdoms were characterized by Gaelic language, customs, and law systems, with a focus on kinship and clan loyalty. While often independent, they sometimes united or fought among themselves. Their societies were deeply rooted in tradition, storytelling, and communal identity, shaping the cultural heritage of Ireland and Scotland that persists today.
