		The king was without peer in the politico-military aspects of the community’s life, but its religious life was exclusively controlled by the tribal (and frequently hereditary) abbot, whilst the brehons, through their guardianship of the law, controlled its social and economic structure.

		The Irish kings were quick to grasp the advantages of a stable feudal society, and the kings of Connacht, Ulster, Leinster, and Munster consolidated their power as quickly and conveniently as possible.
		By the time of the Norman arrival in 1169, the Kings of Connacht, Ulster, Leinster, and Munster had succeeded in consolidating their kingdoms along more-or-less feudal lines, and the High Kingship — never truly monarchical — had come to be vested in three successive Kings of Connacht (chiefs of the Royal House of O Conor).
		As Kings of Connacht and representative High Kings of Ireland, the Royal House of O Conor retained all of its royal prerogatives.
