"Welcome to the court of Toirdelbach Ua Briain, King of Munster, son of Diarmaid, son of Tadhg, son of Brian Boru." Hospitality was central to Gaelic nobility. The king would offer a formal welcome, likely with food, drink, and shelter.

Irish Gaelic: "Tá mo chúirt oscailte duit agus tá fáilte romhat ag ithe agus ag ól liom féin agus le m'ionaid." Translation: "My court is open to you, and you are welcome to eat and drink with me and my retinue."
