150 BCE

The subjugation of Ireland’s previous inhabitants by the Gaels is complete by 150 BCE.

The “tuatha,” or petty kingdoms—of which perhaps one hundred and fifty exist in Ireland at this time—form the basic units of Gaelic society.

The tuatha, although maintaining independence from one another, share a common language, Gaelic, and a class of men called “brehons,” who are schooled in customary law.
