  Annals of Ulster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Annals of Ulster are a chronicle of medieval Ireland.
Previous annals dating as far back as the 7th century were used as a source for the earlier entries, and later entries were based on recollection and oral history.
A century later, the annals were themselves in turn to become an important source for the authors of the Annals of the Four Masters.

 Áedán mac Gabráin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Irish annals record Áedán's campaigns against his neighbours, in Ireland and in northern Britain, including expeditions to the Orkney Islands, the Isle of Man and to the north-east of Scotland.
Beyond the kingdom of Ulster, and generally hostile to it, were the various kingdoms and tribes of the Uí Néill and their subject kingdoms and tribes.
Ulster sources say that Báetán levied tribute from Scotland, and Dál Riata is presumed to be meant, and he is known to have campaigned on the Isle of Man.

 Annals of Ulster
The work is also of enormous value for the history of Ulster, and especially the late 15th century under the direction of Cathal Og Mac Maghnusa, cleric, chieftain and scholar, who died five centuries ago in 1498.
It is therefore appropriate that this, the only complete edition of the Annals to be published to date, should in 1998 be made available once more as a memorial to Cathal Og and the scribes and scholars who laboured under him (particularly Ruairi O Luinn, who penned almost all of the two early manuscript copies).
The important Annals of Ulster compiled by Cathal Og Mac Maghnusa at Seanaidh Mac Maghnusa, now Belle Isle in Lough Erne, were so named by the noted ecclesiastic, Ussher, on account of their containing many chronicles relating to that province.

Most of the ancient manuscripts whose entries are copied into the books of Annals we now possess have been lost; but that the entries were so copied is rendered quite certain by various expressions found in the present existing Annals, as well as by the known history of several of the compilations.
The Annals of the Four Masters was translated with most elaborate and learned annotations by Dr. John O'Donovan; and it was published - Irish text, translation, and notes - in seven large volumes.
The Annals noticed so far are all in the Irish language, occasionally mixed with Latin: but besides these there are Annals of Ireland wholly in Latin such as those of Clyn, Dowling, Pembridge, Multyfarnham, andc, most of which have been published.

 The MacLochlainns of Inishowen | North Ireland   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The origins of the Uí Néill remain obscure but to the faint echo of ancient battles they emerge from prehistory into the earliest stratum of the Annals of Ulster already in possession of the kingship of Tara and of a crescent-shaped band of territory stretching from the river Liffey through northern Connacht into Inishowen.
By the eleventh century the dominant political entity in the north of Ireland was Tír nEoghain ('Land of Eoghan') which was the territory directly ruled by the leader of the Cenél nEoghain.
An unravelling of references to this territory and its rulers in the annals, saints' lives and genealogies indicates an origin in a petty kingdom on the Inishowen peninsula ruled by Eoghan son of Niall who died in 465 [1].

 Revival Library | The Ulster Revival Of 1859 By William Henry Harding | Chapter 1
THE spiritual awakening which rendered the year 1859 for ever illustrious in the annals of Ulster, also furnishes one of the most remarkable illustrations in all history, of Christianity suddenly and potently revived and exercising a transforming influence, swift in its action and wide in its sphere, upon all classes of society.
Coming of Scottish and English extraction, the Protestant communities of Ulster represent a colony, founded with infinite industry and skill, which has stood through centuries in enlightening contrast to the blighting conditions which obtain in other parts of Ireland under the domination of the priest.
The history of Ulster is of a people not only distinguished by industrial ability and commercial integrity, but also possessing strong religious proclivities, and contending earnestly in defence of Christian beliefs and Christian liberty.
