The Kings of Dál nAraidi were rulers of one of the main kingdoms of
Ulster and competed with the
Dál Fiatach for the overlordship of
Ulaid.
The dynasty resided at Ráith Mór, east of Antrim in the Mag Line area and emerged as the dominant group among the
Cruthin of Ulaid. In the sixth and seventh centuries the Cruthin were a loose confederation of petty states with the Dal nAraidi emerging as the dominant group in the 8th century.
