I was born in Derry City in the north and got a BA in Archaeology and Greek and Roman Civilization in UCD Dublin (even took a specific class on the High Kingship of Ireland) and I feel you did a fairly good job portraying the snapshot of Ireland and the political situation there in 1066. I am actually a descendant of Domnall Ua Lochlainn, who is depicted in the game as being the ruler of Oriel (not accurate of course as you explained). Unfortunately, the start date of 1066 was a really messy time for the Kingdom of Aileach (pronounced like the name Alec by the way). So it looks like they decided to try to simplify it a bit. An Áed Ua hUalgairg was King of Aileach in 1066 but he is gone only a year later, replaced by Domnall mac Néill (the Poor) in 1067 who himself was replaced in 1068 by another Áed, Áed mac Néill who lasted until 1083 when Domnall Ua Lochlainn, my ancestor, finally became King of Aileach (after a very brief stint by a guy named Donnchad mac Néill who didn't even last a year). The real king of Airgíalla (Oriel is the anglicized name so not accurate at this point) in 1066 was a certain Leathlobair Ua Laidhgnen. Don't know anything about him specifically. So I can forgive the game developers saying screw it. lol

With the Rite tenant added to Insular as well, it's now more focused on the idea that it's simply a slight deviation from Catholicism itself. They still recognize the Pope as their head of faith within the current game state, which brings certain advantages and disadvantages.

Just a heads up, the language spoken in Ireland isn’t typically called Gaelic, I think that’s more so for Scotland. Far as I’m aware it can be called gaelic, and is included in that group of languages, but typically is referred to by another name. Irelands language is called Irish in English, and Gaeilge in Irish. It’s closely related to Scottish Gaelic but it’s not the same. Your pronunciation for Irish words seemed pretty good to me overall though

If you do another breakdown like this, I highly suggest Armenia and the Caucasus as a whole, Paradox seems pretty confused when choosing rulers there. For example, in 867 they have the historical Bagrationi ruler of Tao-Klarjeti be the ruler of Kakheti for some reason, when in reality Kakheti was ruled by the independent Donauri dynasty. The guy they have ruling Tao-Klarjeti should actually be ruling in the principality of Daron/Taron, which doesn't even exist in-game!

Nice to see Ireland getting some attention. I've made a number of videos on Ireland in CK3 on my channel, including one on Murchad. I'd be interested to know what sources you have that say he ruled until 1068 as all the ones I've read say that Toirdelbach ruled Munster from 1063. Paradox copied the Munster Kings list from Wikipedia and Murchad was added to that as the result of a misreading of an Irish academic text. Toirdelbach was the ruler of Munster in the 1066 start in CK1 but later games took heavily from Wikipedia, for which I think they can be criticized. 6:56 You say you couldn't find any characters in Meath that reflected real historical figures. The guy on screen as you say that, Conchobar Ua Máelshechlainn, defeated Murchad (King of Dublin) in 1070 (which resulted in his death) and then killed his father, Diarmaid mac Máel na mBó (King of Leinster/High King) in 1072, after which Toirdelbach rose to the High Kingship. The guy who made the improved insular christianity mod also did one where Toirdelbach starts as King of Munster. If you haven't check out forvo (.) com, it has recordings of native speakers of various languages pronouncing words. Lots of Irish names and place names there.

Changes were made in both 1.5 and 1.6 versions that make Insular seem more like a regional branch of Catholics. 1.5 made polygamy an Irish cultural tradition rather than a tenet of Insular. 1.6 made the Pope the spiritual leader of Insular.

With Struggle for Iberian DLC, insular shares religious head of the pope with the Catholic church with mozarab (new faith). Definitely think it is odd to have a new faith represented in the game yet no mozarabic culture in.

It makes so much sense to explain the historical backgrounds of the game, because you understand so much more about the roles and the context! Great! And very entertaining!

Really good video, just want to say although our system was similar to feudalism, It was very different in many ways too, mainly in the structure of command as a chieftain didn’t have an heir, instead that heir would be voted upon by the entire family including everyone but the lower class, slaves and serfs. The chief also held less power than for example an English feudal lord as there was a council between the upper class of the clan called a „derbfine“ which could often overrule the decision of a chief.

Very nice video! Part of my love of CK3 is because it fuels my love of medieval history, so dives into what aspects of the game are historical vs. strictly mechanical are always welcome in my book. RE: the subject of "Insular" Christianity in the game, it's worth noting that the devs have stated they aren't fully satisfied with current religious mechanics in CK3. There have already been some changes (perhaps most notably in the form of allowing multiple faiths to share a single spiritual head, so as to more accurately portray the Islamic world), and I wouldn't be surprised if we see a future religion-focused update that includes making the dynamic between the two Catholicisms a bit more nuanced.

Seeing how well informed your videos are, I would like to know what starting date (and why) you would like to see being added to ck3 ? Any intriguing kingdom / potential characters you thinks would made adding another starting date relevant. Thanks 👍

I had multiple campaigns in Ireland in CK2. I conquered the entire island and even became Holy Roman Emperor, taking Iceland, parts of Scotland...it was a weird game. This video brought back memories.

I adored my time with the Petty Kingdom of Munster which I turned into the Kingdom of Ireland...my greatest achievements was adopting to Catholicism and participating in the crusades, I basically carried the team and installed my benefactor, my brother as King of Jerusalem. Shortly after I had a somewhat unsuccessful conquest of Iberia(tried to revived the celtiberians) and eventually installed my sister as Queen of Galicia. Then my character died, meaning Jerusalem's and Galicia split of from Ireland as per inheritance laws, and my new character had a bad relationship towards his uncle and aunt. And finally, as a noob I thought I could conquer England with the help of my ally, my brother in law, the holy roman emperor, but refused to join, so I quit...tried coming back to that save after the Royal Court update released, but it's corrupted...Regardless and TLDR, there will always be a spot in my heart for Ireland in CK3, regardless of slander.

I want to let you know that Paradox has modified Insular Christianity in the “Fate of Iberia” as part of the free patch. The new Rite tenant allows a faith to have the Catholic Pope as their head of faith while having different doctrines. It does give the Catholic Pope a -10 opinion of characters of faiths with Rite. Mozarabic Christianity which was the focus of the DLC was given a unique decision to either bind to Rome or break with Rome. I have not played as Irish since the update so I don’t know if they have a similar decision, but I hope they do. I would also like to see your opinion on Irish Culture as represented in the free update that accompanied the Royal Court DLC. As Ireland is a small part of my family history I am always curious to learn more.

Similar to Murchad, when I was looking into Welsh history I found the first prince of Wales is alive at the start of the game, but unlanded and comes to power with foreign help not long (15 years) after the game start. I would like to play as the real first prince of wales but it's not normally available.

with the upcoming landless DLC coming later this year it would be a really interesting(and I assume difficult) start to paly as the guy at 3:57 and try to get the kingdom of Ireland before your death

I always liked how in one start time, you're playing the grandson, or great grandson of Brian Boru if you picked the correct county in the SW of Ireland. Oh you covered it. I thought there was one descendant you could play. Of course, I was talking about CK2 whereas you are talking about CK3.

I think it would be fun and interesting if you did cover Tales of Ireland and compare that to historical evidence.

I think the funniest thing here is that CK3 finally actually made Ireland not the best place to start for a new player.... and then immediately reversed that with it's first major DLC by making the kingdom of mann just stupidly OP. Sure, you either need a custom ruler or to "start" somewhere else, but most norse factions can extremely easily just pop a varangian adventure and go move to Ireland. And a lot of the smaller norse factions start in nearly the same exact situation as most of the Irish leaders, especially places like Iceland, etc. At launch, everyone was actually super excited for the fact that you were generally better off starting off somewhere like Italy as a vassal of the HRE, but then they just had to go and give the british isles not just the single most overpowered decision in the game, but also a second major decision that gives you a huge de jure empire that you can VERY easily jump into from the first decision. And now we're just straight back to "yeah, just start in ireland lul".
