Several of these tribes (tuath), each with its dun or fort, made up a mortuath, or great tribe, or province (there seem, as we saw, to have been seven in Pictland), each province having its ri, as later we hear of Ri Moreb, the King of Moray. Over all was the ardri, chief king.

These statements are based on Irish law, but an analogous state of affairs prevailed in Celtic Scotland. We see traces of it in our old fairy-tales, where kings and queens are so common, and the queen has so much business with the hen-wife. Her husband would be a ri, a king, but a king of a tribe, not of the nation.
