All Ireland Green
Tartan |
||
The Irish tartans are renowned for their beautiful colours and more modern design. The All Ireland Green tartan is no exception. According to folk history, the 6th century BC saw the division
of Ireland into five separate kingdoms: Ulster (w), Connaught (s),
Munster (e), Leinster, and Mide. Ulster and Connaught were the
two most powerful kingdoms. However, by 300 AD, Ulster had lost
much of its power. The ruling houses in Connaught and Mide emerged
and expanded their kingdoms, essentially splitting Ireland in two.
The people of Ulster were pushed to a northern section of Ireland
bordering the Irish Sea, and their name was changed to Dal Riata.
Eventually the Sons of Niall, the ruling family of Connaught, ruled
the Dal Riata. Unhappy with the natural borders of the sea, they
began to colonize the land of the Picts. |
