The Chronicle of Ireland is the principal source for the history of
events not only in Ireland itself but also in what is now Scotland
up to 911. It incorporated annals compiled on Iona up to c. 740 - a
monastery which played a major role in the history of Ireland, of
the Picts to its east and, from 635 to 664, of Northumbria. Up to
c. 740 the Chronicle is thus a crucial source for both Ireland and
Britain; and from c. 740 to 911 it still records some events
outside Ireland. The text of the Chronicle is best preserved in the
Annals of Ulster, but it was also transmitted through chronicles
derived from a version made at the monastery of Clonmacnois in the
Irish midlands. This translation is set out so as to show at a
glance what text is preserved in both branches of the tradition and
what is in only one.
