Gaelic nobility of Ireland

The Irish Gaelic chieftain receives the priest's blessing before departing to fight the English, who are shown in full armour, from The Image of Irelande, 1581

This article concerns the Gaelic nobility of Ireland from ancient to modern times. It only partly overlaps with Chiefs of the Name because it excludes Scotland and other discussion. It is one of three groups of Irish nobility, the others being those nobles descended from the Hiberno-Normans and those granted titles of nobility in the Peerage of Ireland.
