Irish medieval pseudohistory gives a seemingly idealized division of kingdoms. The island is traditionally divided into five provinces or "fifths" (Old Irish ', Modern Irish '), four of which survive today: ' (Ulster, modern Irish ') in the north, ' (Connacht) in the west, ' (Munster, modern Irish ') in the south west, and ' (Leinster, modern Irish ') in the south east. The fifth kingdom, (whose name has survived in the modern counties of Meath and Westmeath, modern Irish ' and "") in the centre/east, ceased to exist in the Middle Ages.
