Domhnall MacLochlainn was the High King of Ireland between 1083 and 1121. At first, his position existed in oppisition to the rule of Toirdhealbhach Ua Briain until the reign of Briain ended in 1086. However, a follower of Toirdhealbhach, Muircheartach Ua Briain, moved to oppose the rule of MacLochlainn between 1101 and 1119. The office of High King of Ireland (Irish: Ard Rí Érenn) was in origin a pseudohistorical construct of the eighth century that placed a king of all Ireland atop the fragmented pyramid of kingship that actually existed at that time. ...
