Craobh Rua

Sa Rúraíocht, ba iad an Chraobh Rua agus an Chraobh Dhearg (Sean-Ghaeilge Cróeb Ruad agus Cróeb Derg) dhá theach ríoga den trí cinn a bhí ag rí na nUladh, Conchúr mac Neasa, ina phríomhchathair, Eamhain Mhacha. Faightear inniu iad scaití mar ainm d'aicme gaiscíoch, Ridirí na Craoibhe Rua/Deirge.

Ba í an Chraobh Rua ceannáras ríoga an rí.[1] Caomhnaítear a hainm sa bhaile fearainn úd i gContae Ard Mhacha. Ba í an Craobh Dhearg an áit a coinníodh cinn bhainte agus coirn chatha eile.

Ba é a thríú teach ná an Téide[2] Breac (Sean-Ghaeilge Téite Brec), áit a coinníodh airm na laochra.[1]

Sa lá inniu

  • Tá grúpa ceoil Ceilteach ann as Béal Feirste, darb ainm Craobh Rua.[4]
  • Úsáideadh an t-ainm Knights of the Red Branch ag Irish Catholic fraternal organization in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and San Francisco, California in the 19th and early to mid 20th centuries.[5]
