Hibernian Tribunal

The Hibernian Tribunal is the regional Tribunal covering Ireland. Hibernia is the Latin name for Ireland. The Tribunal has no land borders; the nearest other Tribunals are Stonehenge, Loch Leglean, and Novgorod (because the Novgorod Tribunal includes Iceland). See the Map of Mythic Europe.

The Isle of Man is nearby the Hibernian Tribunal but is not considered to be part of any regional Tribunal. It is sometimes disputed between the Hibernian, Stonehenge, and Loch Leglean Tribunals.

Mundane history

The Wikipedia page Lordship of Ireland provides information of the feudal setup from 1177 - 1542, with links to the Norman invasion in 1169 - 1171. A particular point of interest in recent history is a Papal Bull issued in 1155 by Pope Adrian IV, first and only English Pope, which gave the English king the right to invade Ireland.
