Family Titles

The White Rod, also known as the White Wand, Rod of Inauguration, or Wand of Sovereignty, referred to as slat na ríghe or slat tighearnais in Irish, symbolized the legitimate authority of a Gaelic king or lord. It was the central prop in their inauguration ceremony. The title "Chief" was synonymous with King (Rí), Lord (Tiarna), or Captain of his Country before the collapse of the Gaelic order.

The Royal Coat of Arms

The Bronze Crown of Brolchan, Royal Prince and grandson of Suibne Menn (or Suibne mac Fiachnai, "Suibne the Stammerer, son of Fiachnae"; died AD 628) was an Irish king who is counted as a High King of Ireland. Suibne belonged to the junior branch of the Cenél nEógain kindred of the northern Uí Néill, the Cenél Feredaig, named for his grandfather Feredach, a great-grandson of Niall of the Nine Hostages.
