Rítheaghlaigh Ghaelacha

Is cuid d'uaisleacht Éireann iad na  Rítheaghlaigh Ghaelacha  ón ré is ársa, i dteannta le huaisli Cambra-Normannacha agus na teidil cruthaithe le linn Tiarnas na hÉireann.

 Uaislí Gaelacha 

Thoghtaí ríthe, tiarnaí nó taoisigh Ghaelacha ag an gcóras dlí darb ainm tánaisteacht, ag muintreacha an iarcheannaire (laistigh de thrí glúin), i dteannta áfach le go leor doirteadh fola, i bhfianaise an easpa pionós ar dúnmharú céile comhraic.  Toisc go dtoghtaí de ghnáth ceannairí as an gclann chéanna, bhí sin ina chúis leis an smaoineamh d'uaisleacht Ghaelach.

Thosaigh teidil ó oidhreacht tar éis théip Ord na nGael agus ghlacadh chóras dlí Sasanach le linn na mblianta 1585–1610. 

Is flatha iad gach a leanas, sliochtaigh fhireanna le gaol, is cuma más i bhfad amach, ó Rí de shaghas éigin:
 Rí túaithe
 Ruiri
 Rí ruirech (nó Rí cóicid).
D'éirigh roinnt rí ruirech ina nArdrí.Curley, ll. 26–7Jaski, ll. 37–40, 89, 99–102Byrne, ll. 41–2

 Stádas dlí 
Faoin am Chonradh Luimnigh, bhí a chuid cumhacht caillte ag beagnach gach uaisle Gaelach.  Sa lá atá inniu ann, níl aon stádas dlí ag na teidil stairiúla i bPoblacht na hÉireann, murab ionann is i dTuaisceart Éireann.Bunreacht na hÉireann

Ón mbliain 1943 go dtí 2003, bronnadh aitheantas oifigiúil ar roinnt Ceann na Fine ó rialtas na hÉireann.  Tháinig an cleachtas seo chun críche sa bhliain 2003 tar éis scannal éagsúil (féach Terence Francis MacCarthy) agus faoi imní gur mhíbhunreachtúil é.Curley, ll. 179–80; Charles Lysaght (in Curley), lch. 14
