- The dark age Irish Kingdom of Dal Riada is a vital part of both Irish and Scottish history. The kingdom of Dal Riada helped give birth to the kingdom of Scotland and its kings ruled over a beautiful and varied region of western Scotland. Join Huge History as we explain the structure and history of this kingdom built by Irish warrior clans.
Its nice to learn more about the lands of my ancestors. Thanks for the Upload.
Oh my HAT. Your video is exactly the information I needed. Straight forward information. I have traced my Maternal grandmothers to Dalriada! All beginning with a box my grandmother left behind of family genealogy. Her grandmother was Murietta Moffat born Lansing,Illinois 1854. . I am a word nerd and want to know the origin of every ancestral surname. It is this curiosity that unfolded the mystery. Its been 16 years of p/t research to find a geographical place of origin ( 19 Great Grandmothers traced). I was planning a backpacking trip in Scotland - now I will include a hike to Dunsenerick Castle ruins. Can't thank you enough for uploading this video.
You need to travel over to kintyre and work your way up to oban, en route you can stop at kilmartin, it’s near dunadd, ancient hill fort capital of dalriada, also ah nice bit of Argyll.
Great presentation. In Ireland we appear to have a different, more Gaelic, pronunciation of Dal Riada with the emphasis on the ‘Ri’. Which makes sense because ‘Rí’ means ‘king’. Great presentation.
Great video, information, images and graphics! I love your style.
One critique/ correction: Remember it's Riata Ree-ah-tuh, not Radia rah-dee-uh.
We don't know how they said it, we weren't there
@@irenejohnston6802 ..we say Dal ri ta,but it depends what dialect of Gaelic ..Dal is clan,or tribe,ri is king,and ta,prob means touta,or centre...but that's just my opinion
@@irenejohnston6802 True, but the voice over uses both pronunciations and it can’t be both. It seems very unlikely that something spelled RIADA would be pronounced RADIA, even in early Irish.
Bravo. This is a rich slice of history told in a fast paced straight forward manner. Thank you
Why do you refer to dal riada as "dal riada" sometimes and "dal radia" others?
My guess.... an older orthography that uses the 'd', which would be pronounced as 't' when not at the beginning of a word, instead.
Its auctally Dál Ríata
Because he is just reiterating materials without learning.
So...

@@JACK_TheAllSeeingEye thanks there's too many people on here spouting shite
My understanding is that the inheritance pattern is a feature of Irish derbfine (sp?) that was part of Broehan law that seems common practice not only in Dal Riada, but in the other isles and Pictland too, signaling an older cultural sharing.
Thank you for your excellent video!
Peace all
Nice presentation. Thanks for sharing. :)
Dál Riada is pronounced Dhawl Reeada using English spelling.
Dál means a division, a sept, or a tribe.
Riada was an epithet of Cairbre, the founder of the Dál Riada people or tribe and kingdom. It means wheeled. Cairbre was probably big into chariots or other wheeled vehicles. The name Cairbre, strangely enough, means charioteer or coachman.
Such a pity that Huge History got so much wrong in it's opening sentences. It bespeaks sloppy research and an "I'll make it up as I go" attitude.
my name is McCready literally meaning mac riada - son of riada. do you think my name means i am a descendant of the founder of dal riada? how could i go about finding out more about this?
Ur channel will grow keep posting
Thank you so much for this video. I have just recently found out that these Kings were some of my great grandparents.
Great work. Question on Rule 5: if succession of father to a son is to be avoided (6 cases), but Rule 6 the succession of a son of a former king is preferred (28 of the 35). How does that resolve itself? You state 28 of 35 are sons of kings, but only six times did the crown pass from father to son. Is this a riddle, or am I missing something?
Lot's of sniping about pronunciation - but just one other bit.
Dunadd - the fort on the Add (the river that winds it's way around the foot of the fort and heads across the Great Moor towards Crinan.
Not Dunaad - which probably sounds cooler and probably appears somewhere in Tolkein's more obscure writings. 😄
Was there a protracted war between the Dal Radia and the Dal Riada that wiped out the other one?
There's a lot of controversy about whether Óengus is actually Fheargus' brother but I'm gonna keep on saying he is because I'm a MacInnes(Son of Angus) and therefore his descendant
According to the 10th century Irish work entitled Senchus Fer n'Alban ("Census of the men of Scotland"), Fergus had up to 11 brothers including two Loarns, two Anguses, and another Fergus. These same name brothers had bynames to distinguish one from the other. It's impossible to know how accurate the Senchus is. Royal women in those days spent most of their time being pregnant, and died fairly young. Those birth canals must have been fairly flabby by the time the last child was born. Gaelic men could also marry more than one wife- something which motivated the Papacy in Rome to instruct the English King Henry II to take over Ireland, and bring the Irish church into the Catholic fold.
In Bad Saccingen in Germany,st. Friodilan an Irish monk was imvoted to set up a monastery with his "wife"?..the Irish christian church allowed marriage n divorce,as opposed to the roman catholic church,which had the celibacy law

Always interesting to learn more about the Dark Ages origins of the modern Ulster-Scots.
Our history is kept from us ,FGAU
This is not the origin of the Ulster Scots. See the Ulster Plantation in the 17th century.
@@heartlinefilms5136 Yes, the return of the Ulster-Scots to Ulster in the 17th century was also hugely significant.
Recently found out I'm a descendant through the Gregor/McNab clans when the name MacGregor was abolished in 1603 and many aliases were used including Dochart/Doggart named after the river/loch Dochart. Both McNab and MacGregor are supposedly descents of Kenneth MacAlpin and the Abotts of Glendochart. They apparently made their escape using the river Dochart which led to them taking the name, also their heritage probably played a role in that choice also.
They settled in Newtownards at some point in the 1600s/Early 1700's until my Grandmother, Lillian Susan Doggart moved to England.
This history isn't known my many people but members of the Doggart family that have researched it. There's literally only a Handful of Doggarts/Docharts in existence and I'm related to every single one.
@@Fragrant_Digits Welcome Ulster-Scot. Most of the Scots who settled in Antrim and Down did so privately, before the 'plantation' of the other parts of Ulster organised by James I which the Irish always yap on about. So don't let them call you a planter you are descended from true Ulster-Scots.
Really helpful for my essay on how Dal Riada influenced modern day Scotland. Great work helped heaps 👍🏼

How are you saying radia when it's spelled raida? Is that gaelic pronunciation or what?

Why does the chariot guy have a light saber?
Prounounciation is off. Like in Irish ch is prounounced kh and Úi is pronounced ew and Áedan Mac Gábrain is pronounced aw-dawn-mac-gawbran and Domnall is Dow-nall and Ferchar Would be Fer-kyar also no tounge rolling in Irish
Modern Irish is not the gold standard of how ancient Gaelic should be pronounced.
@Mike, true, but since it retains more richness than the other Goidelics, it's a good place to start.
Hmm, basically no subs and no activity... you can fuck off now CrooK, my boy.

I am sorry but your pronunciation is terrible Dalriada or Dal riada, or Dal Rita
Its Dal - Ri - Ada
It's pronounced "Ree-ah-dah," ffs.
It's not Dal Rah-dee-ah, it's Dal Ree-ah-tah.
It's pronounced more like "Dawl Ree-Dah"
(I speak the language)
There is very little history of Alpin, First king of the Scots, He was pictish, There were 5 Scottish clans out of, Or descended from Alpin, Some say 7 ?, kenith or Malcolm, ?. The battle call, Is, Remember the death of Alpin , Coomragh Bass Alpin, THE 5, Or the 7 clans are designated as the Soil Alpin. Malcolm Can more, Can Cath, Was the the Grand Farther of Mac Beth, Can More's name was, Malcolm Mac Duffy. I have first name ove, Michele. Was there some prohibition then, And now, In sharing a kings name.
As for Linyedge I would state that my farther and Can-more went to different schòols too gether. And went too football matches with Pictish roons painted on their faces in blue paint And end up in the rumble with broken beer bottles.
Kenneth MacAlpin was a Dalriadian, one of the Scoti that your country gets its name from.
Lost Kingdom of Jerusalem,and King Zedekiah`s daughter Tea Tephi.

God knows how they pronounced it then
Your pronunciation needs WORK but that's my only real complaint
Its Dalriada or Dal Riata the island you called Mull is actually Ilsa Craig,
I think this is where my European ancestors are from they are the Donaldson family
Clan Donald. Of joint Norse and Gaelic descent. Clan Colla on the Irish Gaelic side and Manx house of Crovan on the Norse side
the irish giving scotland it,s name is a made up irish myth...not scottish.
It was the Romans who named the Irish clans who both raided Britain and emigrated to Scotland "Scotti", it was later that the first kings of Scotland named their Kingdom in homage to them, this is well documented in Roman and Scottish literary history as far back as the 3rd century, if it was a myth then it was created by the Romans and later Scottish monastics writers as it was them that recorded Scotland's history not the Irish.
@@norfolkenchants1238 you need to research the mythical scotti . scotlands name may well come from the greek word skota meaning dark hence scotland land of darkness. at this very moment i,m watching a programme called wonders of the borders. a mound was built by the anglo-saxons to keep the welsh out. funnily enough..no mention of scotti. hadrians wall and the antonine walls were built to keep the marauding picts at bay. funnily enough no mention of scotti....that,s because it,s a fanciful tale made up by irish monastic scribes. type in queen scota you will find the myth.
"Mor" means "earl". It isn't a family name.
it means big in scottish gaelic
@@whisper-thattruth-shss6026 yeah either Big or great...is what I've always heard
@@whisper-thattruth-shss6026 thank you! I keep finding it used like a title for chieftains and local lords.
Bro...please learn to pronounce “Riada”. It’s not “Radia”.
I’m an American and even I know this.
do you know the myth of dalriada
Yes
well, that,s all it is ...myth. blown out of all proportion. type in...the origins of the irish and scots gaels on irish origenes...for a more realistic and believable account. www.irishtimes.com/culture/in-a-word-1.1691706 bearing in mind scotland was an inhabited land many centuries before ireland. modern historians now concede the other way round.
@@brucecollins4729 what does any of that have to do with the proper pronunciation of the word “Dalriada”? I’m sorry, but you lost me.
Whether Dalriada was real or a myth is irrelevant in this situation.
@@jamessatterlee well, you must have read up on it and obviously watched this video. it,s based on mythical writings, there is no factual or physical evidence in scotland to substantuate this. considering scotland was inhabited land many centuries before ireland. modern historians are starting to question this theory. www.islands.co.uk/history/scotti.htm
Incorrect the Romans call the Irish from Ireland Scotti ... Old Roman maps would say Scotti Major for Ireland and Scotti Minor for scotland
daid darcy.....you need to look up the early origins of the scotti.....a fanciful tale.
@@brucecollins4729 yea I just told you it SCOTTI MINOR SCOTTI MAJOR.....
@@daviddarcy7336 go and read the mythical irish writings of queen scota.
@@brucecollins4729 Interesting I will do some time... The Milesians came from Galicia Asturias they have a stone ring fort called a Castro a Latin sounding name yet these are Celtic from the Iron age ... Ireland is full of stone ring forts ... Most famous Dun Angus on Aran mor ... Britian in Roman times was only modern day England and Wales ... Caledonia later became Alba or Scotland ... A famous 16th century CIitizen of the Pale in Dublin could not understand why they could not defeat the Irish ...(cant remember his name now) ... they said to conquer a people get them to forget who they were their history LANGUAGE and customs ... if your Scottish or Irish look at your Tv 80 90 % of it in English
@@daviddarcy7336 as is scotland full of ancient monuments. have you ever noticed when they do archaeological programmes on tv about british ancient british there is never any mention of scotti. that,s because there is no such thing. considering they supposedly took all of scotland and the east coast of england and the isle of man yet they are never mentioned. according to irish historians the first people to enter ireland(certainly ulster)the neolithic and mesolithic came from scotland and as one wrote ...but surely the must have come from england and wales. there is no factual or physical evidence to suggest any incursion/invasion from ireland into scotland. there is (according to one irish historian)evidence to suggest the opposite. the ulaid came from mainland britain and formed the colony of ulster. have a good look at the geographical location of ireland and ask yourelf....how did and when did these people get to ireland.you will notice a lot of irish history is written in the 14th 15th centuries. written by irish monks. you might want to look up the anglo-saxon invasion of ireland in 684 ad where they colonised parts of ireland. this raid was staged from the isle of man which was "allegedly" an irish colony. then the anglo-norman invasion. the cambro-normans the scots raiders of lagan. the scots highlanders(galoglas)as the irish called them meaning foreign gaels.they were given huge tracts of land in return then again hired scottish redshanks in the 1600s then more scots started to arrive in the early 1600s. look up king james of scotland in ireland.as i wrote. look up the myth of queen scota, who supposedly gave her name to scotland. a very fanciful tale but that,s all it is .....a tale.
The scotish got alot there gaelic culture from the Irish Dál Ríata.
Thats why scotland name translates to "Land Of the Irish"
Scotti was latin for Irish
@@brucecollins4729 That story came from a myth coming from the 11th century if I'm not mistaken
"Scotia" originated as the Roman Latin word for Ireland in the 4th century
@@mcfcfan1870 scotland got it,s name from queen scota. her followers called themselves scots after her name.english archaeologists found three ships in the humber estuary. initially they thought they were viking but on carbon dating it was found they were 2000 years before the vikings and more similar to egyptian boats presumably queen scoti. she set up residence in scotland (hence scots). she lived in scotland for many years then went to the west of scotland a defeated the picts then then its said she raided ulster and then remained in ireland. there some credence in that myth. also the name ramsey is of english origin but a popular name in scotland.the name may come from the egyptian rameses. any way like the irish scotti story there are no real facts.
@@mcfcfan1870 a forgot i had already stated that. well, the scotti invading scotland from ireland is even bigger myth show me some facts and evidence because no one can find any
@@mcfcfan1870 the romans called ireland hibernia , there must be 2 sets of romans
@@brucecollins4729 The called it hiberna early on,, then by the 1st century ad, "Iverni" became a more popular latin name for Ireland, and by the 3rd century "Scotia" was most popular
