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.
