Dál nAraidi (Old Irish: [daːl ˈnaraðʲə]; "Araide's part") or Dál Araide, sometimes latinised as Dalaradia or anglicised as Dalaray,[1] was a Cruthin kingdom, or possibly a confederation of Cruthin tribes,[2] in north-eastern Ireland during the Middle Ages. It was part of the over-kingdom of Ulaid, and its kings often contended with the Dál Fiatach for the over-kingship of the province. At its greatest extent, the borders of Dál nAraidi roughly matched those of County Antrim, and they seemed to occupy the same area as the earlier Robogdii of Ptolemy's Geography, a region shared with Dál Riata. Their capital was Ráth Mór outside Antrim, and their eponymous ancestor is claimed as being Fiachu Araide.
