Kingdom of Ulidia

The Kingdom of Ulidia, meaning "the lesser Ulster", also known as simply the Kingdom of Ulster, was a somewhat fluid area of Gaelic Ireland's Ulaidh (or Ulster) province (Latin Ultonia) that remained under rule of the Ulaid after the 5th-century encroachments of the Uí Néill. An individual member of the Ulaid nation or the Kingdom of Ulidia was known in Irish as an "Ultach" (variant spellings are "Ultagh" or "Ultaigh"), in Latin as an "Ultonii" and in English as an "Ultonian" or "Ulsterite".

Boundaries and ruling houses

Located in the extreme southeast of what had been the larger Ulaidh, Ulidia comprised a land area, roughly, contemporaneous with that of modern County Down and the southern portion of County Antrim in Northern Ireland. County Down, Northern Ireland has an area of 250 square miles. The area of all County Antrim, Northern Ireland would be another 217 square miles.

Prior to the Kingdom’s and the Ulaid Nation's substantial collapse in the late 12th century AD, Ulidia's interrelated Red Branch ruling houses (I. "Cróeb Ruad" or "red earth" royal houses) were the remaining of the Dál Fiatach group of Ulaid royal dynasties. Prominently at end, these were the O'Hoey or O'Haughey (I. O'h Eochadh or O'Heochadha, old names for the MacDonlevy) (parent house), the MacDonlevy (I. "Mac Duinnshléibhe") (descended house) (over-kings of Ulidia), the MacMahon or McMahon (sometimes O'Mahon) (I. O'Mathghamhna) and the O'Lowry (surname) (sometimes Lynch (surname) or Linch) (I. O'Luingsigh). The over-kingship of the Ulaid (an elected office of its royalty) was restricted to the lineage of the Dál Fiatach's MacDonlevy after 1137 AD. These royals of Ulidia were the famed earthen mound building Red Branch knights of Ulster for whom Constance Markievicz, originally, named the Irish patriot organisation "Na Fianna Éireann”.

Giving the album three and a half stars by New Release Today, Marcus Hathcock states, "Kingdom does a good job of capturing a live church atmosphere." Jeremy Armstrong, indicating in a five star review from Worship Leader, describes, "Kingdom is powerful, infectious, and musically incredible." Specifying in a three and a half star review for 365 Days of Inspiring Media, Joshua Andre replies, "Though this album can be improve[d] upon...this is a solid effort." Jono Davies, signaling in a four star review at Louder Than the Music, responds, "this album has a great mix of musical styles, and they all work wonderfully together." Criticizing the release in a two and a half star review from Christian Music Review, April Covington cautions, "While this album is great for music leaders in church, I don’t believe that the average listener will be singing along while driving in their cars."
