List of kings of Leinster


The following is a provisional list of the kings of Leinster who ruled the Irish kingdom of Leinster up to 1632 with the death of Domhnall Spainneach Mac Murrough Caomhanach, the last legitimately inaugurated head of the MacMurrough Kavanagh royal line, though not last of the Leinster royal line. Today's province of Leinster is considerably larger than the former kingdom.
