Overview

Munster on the 1066 bookmark is a petty kingdom, the Irish name for a duchy-rank title. Murchad holds it independent. The legends card gives his faith as Insularism and his dynasty as Dál gCais. The bookmark text names house Briain. Patch 1.20.1.2 rates the seat Easy. The realm card lists 3 counties. The tutorial uses this ruler.
The decision to open is the Kingdom of Ireland. The tooltip lists the requirements in the version you are playing. While the top title is still this duchy, a second duchy you create or grant is a title of your own rank, and that vassal leaves independent. The beginner guide walks the first night from this seat.

The achievement panel lists the conditions.

Later impact

Brian Boru's line had held the high kingship and lost it again before 1066. Toirdelbach, Murchad's kinsman, is the king the annals put over Munster, and Toirdelbach's son Muirchertach later pressed a wide claim in Ireland. The Classic setting lets the tutorial ruler play that same Irish project.
A created kingdom of Ireland is what keeps a second duchy inside the realm. Before that title exists, partition and a granted duchy both leak land. England in this year is busy with Harold Godwinson and William the Bastard, so the early Irish wars are local. An empty heir line still ends the campaign.
The character page keeps the Book of Kells and the Rock of Cashel, and the notes on which Murchad the annals mean. The beginner guide, the partition guide, and the succession guide are the mechanics this seat is for teaching.
