List of battles in Ireland

Prehistoric era

[edit ]

The Annals of the Four Masters , written in the 17th century, records a number battles as having taken place in prehistoric Ireland. These include:

5th Century CE

[edit ]

Many of the battles in the 5th century feature ongoing conflicts between Laigin, a likely variation on the Kingdom of Leinster, and Aillil Molt, a king of Connacht and possible High King of Ireland. Later conflicts feature additional kingdoms including Coirpre (Coipre himself had established a strong presence in the midlands and his descendants would establish three kingdoms in his name) and Dál Aráidhe. Additionally, various High Kings of Ireland appeared intermittently in the conflicts.
