WASP, could you post the BBC Link to that page please I couldn't find it. And WASP every Kingdowm of Ireland had a capital. That doens't make Ulster different either. This was pre-Nation State times remember Bilk. Law, Customs, Culture, Language were all the same and despite the earilier assertions that Ireland was never United, we've posted evidence to the contrary. It WAS under a central ruler. you have shown no proof that there was a central ruler with a central government. |

I wouldn't even call the Roman idea of Government, a Government. It was certainly a republic at a couple of stages but all power was held by money and by emperors who could over-rule their Senate at any given time, hence the many power struggles throughout Romes history and eventually its downfall in the West (and its survival in the east in what turned into the Ottoman empire)

6 pages in and we're still none of the wiser as to why this theory holds any water. Still plugging away with the kings and a modern sense of nationhood through a centralised government. Nothing else relevant to those times as to why my Ulster ancestors should be classed different to my Leinster ancestors, even though they had the same laws, customs and language.
