Feis Temro (‘The Feast of Tara’), a rite observed by kings of
Tara to celebrate the divine nature of the kingship of Tara and to reiterate its special status in Ireland. Evidence for the celebration of Feis Temro is meagre. The
annals record that it was held on a few occasions in the 5th and 6th centuries. The final and most reliable reference to the celebration of the rite records that it was held in 560 by
Diarmait mac Cerbaill, a king of Tara who reputedly espoused Christian and non‐Christian practices. That Feis Temro continued to maintain some legal, if not ritual, significance may be inferred from the 8th‐century law tract
Bretha Nemed, which refers to Feis Temro as one of the three elements which constitute a
rí ruirech (‘king of overkings’). Its ritual aspect may have been demonized by clerics in the 6th and 7th centuries who disliked its non‐Christian connotations and who fostered
Óenach Tailten instead.
