dbo:abstract
  • I stair na nGael, is flaith é tiarna (Sean-Ghaeilge tigerna). Is ionann Ard Tiarna agus iarla a bheag nó a mhór. I bhfoinsí Gaelacha níos deireanaí, mar shampla Annála na gCeithre Máistrí, úsáidtear tiarna in ionad Rí óir nach measann na húdair a thuilleadh gur fíor-ríthe iad taoisigh réigiúnacha nó áitiúla níos luaite, fiú má glaodh orthu amhlaidh i bhfoinsí comhaimseartha. Tharla seo mar chuid d'athrú tuisceana níos leithne le linn na meánaoise, agus d'fhéadfadh é go dtiocfadh ar rí básaithe le gairid, nó fós ar marthain fiú, le céim íslithe i bhfoinsí áirithe. Ní féidir dá bharr dul i muinín an téarma má fheictear é. (ga)

Tierney Is a modern version of the surname of 'Tiarna' even though spelt differently the meaning remains the same. In later Gaelic sources, for example the Annals of the Four Masters, the term has also been frequently used to replace the title Rí (king) in cases where the authors or current tradition no longer regarded earlier regional and local dynasts as proper kings, even when they are styled such in contemporary sources. Thus when encountered the term is not always to be trusted. In fact this was part of a wider change in the understanding of kingship in the later Middle Ages, and even a living or recently deceased rí might find himself downgraded in certain sources. (en)
