02 AD 76.Maeve the Heremonian Queen of Connacht / Sreng's Fifth had never forgotten what Cu Chualann the brilliant Ulster Province warrior had done to her forces previously, and she was to approach the kindred of all those he had "slain" during the various conflicts that he had been involved in, and carring out her own peronal agenda she now encouraged all of them to combine their efforts and seek their revenge on him. Lewy / Lughaidh, the son of Cu Roi mac Daire the Heremonian King of Munster Province who Cu Cualann had slain previously during his attempt to rescue Blathine / Blathnat, called on all the warriors in the Munster Province who were under his leadership. Erc, whose father had also been slain by Cu Chualann, called on all of his warriors also from the kingdom of Meath / Midhe in Northern Leinster, while Erc the Heremonian King of Leinster was to also join in with his warriors, and together with 76.Maeve and her husband Ailill and all of their Heremonian warriors from the Connacht Province they besieged the Ulster Province kingdom of the Irian Septs completely ravaging it. 65.Conor mac Nessa the Irian King of Ulster in desperation called on his Druids and his Ulster Province warriors to immediately attend a Council to see if they could avoid any chance of Cu Chualann going it alone against these Heremonian invaders, as he was well aware that if Cu Chualann his standout warrior was to be slain, his kingdom in the Ulster Province would suffer and fall from prominence "forever." When Cu Chulann arrived at the fortress of Emain Macha there in the Ulster Province, 65.Conor mac Nessa had everyone try to entertain him and keep him otherwise "occupied," but Cu Chualann could by now hear the sounds of the "battle" that was already occurring in the distance and he took up his sword, and upon seeing him geting ready for action, in desperation the son of Cathbad the Chief Druid was to attempt to try and stop him himself from going off and joining in the battle so he physicaly grabbed him by the arm, while the Druids "verbally"  tried to convince him from going towards the battle area and up against the combined Heremonian warriors under 76.Maeve who were by now also besieging them. Eventually they convinced him to leave the perimeter of Emain Macha and go instead to Deaf Valley / Glean na Bochar, but on arriving there he could still here the sounds of the far off conflict so Cathbad the Chief Druid himself then personally advised him, "To let it pass."  The "daughters" of Calatin were then sent by 76.Maeve to try and get him involved by inflaming his passions further, and they came upon him and shouted out, "Dun Deaghan was burning and Muirthemne was being ruined and all of the Ulster Province was now being ravaged," and in responce to this further inducement he immediately took up his arms and ordered Laeg his charioteer, to yoke up his chariot, but  his war horse the "Grey of Macha," refused to be bridled, and his mother Deichtire, also came to him with wine to try and "calm" him down, but it was all to no avail as his blood was up and his mind was now also made up, as the sounds of the nearby conflict beckoned him further to join in the frey. On the way there as he attempted to cross over the "first ford" a woman who was there washing clothes nearby in the stream shouted out to him, "That these garments were the clothes of Cu Chulann who would soon be slain in battle," and also recently he had been pressured into eating a quantity of "meat," which added further to his woes as it was making him feel "unwell," and this wasoccurring just as his adversaries were making a move against him. He had brought with him his 3 spears, and during the ensuing conflict 3 Druids in turn were to come forward individually and "demand" one of these spears each, as they knew under Celtic Culture he could not "refuse" their individual requests, so he threw his first spear at one of them slaying him outright. Lewy the son of Cu Roi mac Daire then withdrew that particular spear from the Druid's body and taking it up he used it to slay Laeg Cu Chulann's charioteer. Cu Chulann then threw the next spear at another of the Druids slaying him also and Erc the Heremonian King of Leinster then also withdrew this particular spear and plunged it into Chu Chulann''s war horse the "Grey of Macha,"just as the remaining Druid also demanded the last spear, which Cu Chulann then threw at him slaying him also. Lewy the son of Cu Roi mac Daire then took up this third spear and threw it directly at Cu Chualann and it severely wounded Cu Chulann (who was now 27 year of age), and he realized that he was now "thirsty," and beseeched his opposition to allow him to go to the loch nearby and quench his thirst and bath his wounds to which they "agreed," After bathing his wounds he found that he could not "walk" and he called out to his opponents to come forward to him instead, and while they responded he took the opportunity to bind himself with his belt to a  nearby"pillar stone" so that he could face them head on. His war horse the "Grey of Macha" who had been severly wounded was by now also "dying," but despite this he also came forward and attempted to drive Chu Chulan's opponents away from him, but overtime a crow flew forward and landed on Cu Chualann's shoulder, and his opponents were not then so fearful of him as they were aware that it was now "safe" to approach him, and that Cu Chualann had met his end, and Lewy then came forward also and cut off his "head" to take it back to show it to 76.Maeve. On finding Cu Chulann's remains 68.Conall Cearnach - of the Victories, the leader of the "Red Branch Knights of Ulster," went after those who had been involved in Cu Chulann's demise and was able to slay many of them. 65.Conor mac Nessa's worst fears had now come to fruition as the "Red Branch Knights of Ulster" were to also come to their "end" shortly with the demise of "Cu Chulann.Fidelma Nocrothaig / Noichrothach - of the Ever New Beauty or the Nine Times Beautiful, who was the "daughter" of 65.Conor mac Nessa the Gaelic Milesian Irian King of Ulster, who was to become the mother of another Erc and his sister Achall, was to also "die" of absolute "shock" on coming down from the Ulster Province and personally viewing Cu Chulann's headless body at Tara. 

9 AD *78.Criffan / Crimthann Niadh - Nar the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 100th King of Tara / Ireland's rule came to an end this year. 

9 - 14 AD *Cairbre Cean Cait - Head like a Cat became the Fir Bolg 101st King of Tara / Ireland during this period of time and after his death, Morann mac Cairbre, his much appreciated son was then offered the Kingship of Ireland, but he refused, and instead became the "Chief Judge" / Brehon of Ireland who believed in "One God." Morann mac Cairbre had been born with a physical abnormality, which had caused his father to have him previously cast into the sea, where he was to be carried ashore by the action of the waves, and was then cared for and reared by a smith / gabhann who was to eventually restore him to his father, and over time he was to become so revered as a Brehon / judge among the Irish Septs that he had been able to give positive "directives" to *79.Feradach Fionn Feachtnach who would become the future Celtic Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 102nd King of Tara / Ireland, which would be recorded in the Book of Leinster / Leabhar na Nuachonghbala. "Let him magnify the Truth, for it will magnify him, Let him strengthen Truth, as it will strengthen him. Let him guard Truth and it will guard him, For as long as he guards Truth, good shall not fail him and his rule shall not perish, for it is through the ruler's Truth that great Clanns are governed, Through the ruler's Truth massive mortalities of men are averted, Through the ruler's Truth mighty armies of invaders are drawn back into enemy territory, Through the ruler's Truth every law is glorious and every vessel full in his lands, Through the ruler's Truth all the land is fruitful and every child born worthy, Through the ruler's Truth there is an abundance of tall corn." Morann mac Cairbre was also to be the first to "wear" the revered magical collar known as Iodhain Morain, which was believed to nearly choke him if he should pass a judgment that was wrong and would return to normal size if he reversed this decision.  

14 - 36 AD. *97Feradach Fionn Feachtnach - Truthful and Sincere became the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 102nd King of Tara / Ireland, who was a son of *78.Criffan / Crimthann Niadh - Nar, who had been the previous Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 100th King of Erinn  

20 AD / 27 AD  7 years of "peace" had occurred in the Ulster Province after the previous conflict with the Heremonian Leinster Septs, when suddenly a great darkness came over the whole of Ulster Province  during the "daytime" and 65.Conor mac Nessa the Irian King of Ulster summoned Bacharach who was now his Chief Druid to find out what had brought this about and he could not come up with any reasonable explanation for this unusual phenomenon. Later on Althus the Roman Consul in Briton was to visit Emain Macha and he was able to inform 65.Conor mac Nessa what had occurred during that period in Jerusalem when the Earth itself had become dark during the day, stating that it had actually been the day that a "prophet" and seer known as Jesus the Christ had been "executed," as he had been condemned by the Romans to die although he was "innocent" of any crime. On hearing this 65.Conor mac Nessa cried out "Was there no one there to defend him,?" "If I had been there with my "Ulster Red Branch Warriors" they would not have killed him for I would have scattered his foes and saved the World of light and truth," then all of a sudden 65.Conor mac Nessa leapt up in "blusteriing anger" and grabbing hold of his sword he suddenly went completely beserk while shouting and slashing at the nearby trees and bushes until under this extreme pressure the previously deposited brain - ball of Mesgedra that had been still firmly imbedded in his head began to burst forth and he fell down dead on the ground. From this time on it would be 206 years until the reign of *85.Cormac mac Airt who would become the "first" true Christian Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn 115th King of Tara / Ireland. 

36 AD. *79.Feradach Fionn Feachtnach - Truthful and Sincere was to die a natural death who had been the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 102th King of Tara// Ireland, and a son of *78.Criffan / Crimthann Niadh - Nar the previous 100th King of Tara / Erinn who was descended from *60.Coffey / Cobthach Caol Breagh - the Slender of Brega the previous 69th King of Tara / Erinn, the direct male line ancestor of the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Septs who had been one of the 2 most important Heremonian aristocratic warrior sons of *59.Hugoney / Ugaine - the Great the 66th King of Tara / Erinn descended from *37.Eremon the direct male line ancestor of all of the Heremonian Septs.  

 36 AD - 39 AD. *Fiatach Fionn mac Daire  became the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 103rd King of Tara / Ireland who had previously been the Heremonian King of Ulaidh / Ulster.  

39 AD *Fiatach Fionn mac Daire the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 103rd King of Tara / Ireland who had previously also been the Heremonian King of Ulaidh died who was now to become the direct male line ancestor of the Heremonian Dal Fiatach Septs there in the Ulster Province and many of the future Heremonian Kings of Ulaid / Ulster.  

39 - 56 AD. *80.Fiacha / Fiachu Fionn Ola became the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 104th King of Tara / Ireland, who was a son of *79.Feradach Fionn Feachtnach the previous Heremonian 102nd King of Tara / Ireland.    

"56 AD - 76 AD *Eilomh was the Gaelic Milesian Irian 105th King of Tara / Ireland, who was a son of Conrach. and he was to rule Ireland for 20 years until he also was to be slain in the "Battle of Aichill" (The Hill of Screen) near Tara by the young *81.Toole / Tuathal Teachtmhar, the son of *80.Fiachra Fionn Ola the previous Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 104th King of Tara / Ireland and Eithne, and he was able to bring all of the Chiefs and Kings in Ireland to "submission." 

76 AD - 106 AD *81.Toole Teachtmhar became the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 106th King of Tara / Ireland and was married to the daughter of Sgaile Balbh the Celtic King of Albion / Briton, and he had previously been in a long "exile" since the death of his father, *80.Fiachra Fionn Ola the previous Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 104th King of Tara / Ireland while the whole of Ireland had been in a constant state of "turmoil," and on reaching his maturity, and as their rightful ruler the aristocratic warrior Gaels had beseeched him to return to Ireland and bring order back to the Country, and with the assistance of his grandfather the Celtic King of Alba / Scottish Highlands, and his own followers, after being involved in 110 battles all over Ireland restored the previous ruling Celtic Gaelic aristocratic warrior leaders and their heirs / Tanaistes to their provincial kingdoms. He constructed 4 fortresses in the portions of the territories taken from the other 4 Provinces, in what was to become his own personal kingdom in the Midlands / Midhe / Meath in the south of Northern Leinster, now composed of Co. Westmeath, Co. Meath, Co. Longford and Co. Louth. One of the fortresses was on the "Hill of Uisneach" / Rathaconradh in Co. Westmeath in the west where the first Druidic fires had been lit at Ail na Mirenn / The Stone of Divisions and where the 5 Provinces / Coiced / fifths now came together, and a major Festival / Oenach was to be held there. Uisneach was to be the centre of the Midlands that also contained the Heremonian kingdom of Brega in the east of Tara, and it was to then have 5 free kingdoms and 5 tributary kingdoms. Also Brega in the Midlands was to have 6 tributary kingdoms of its own, one of which was to belong to the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Deisi Sept descended from one of his sons, *82.Felim / Feidlimid Reachtmar - the Lawgiver who would be the future 108th King of Tara / Ireland who in turn would become the father of *83.Conn - of the Hundred Battles who was to also be the future 110th King of Tara / Ireland and the direct male line ancestor of "all" of the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn (People of *83.Conn) Septs / Fines / Family branches in Ireland.

        During the reign of *81.Toole Teachtmhar, endevouring to build up strong "alliances" especially with the Southern Leinster Province he married his youngest daughter, 82.Dairine to Eochy / Echu Ainchean, a son of Erc, who was then the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Cu Corb King of Southern Leinster who took her home to Naas in Southern Leinster where he soon became convinced that he had married the wrong daughter, so he then locked her away in his palace and told everyone she was deceased and returned to Tara and informed *81.Toole Teachtmhar of the same story and asked for his other daughter, 82.Firthir to continue on with their "alliance," who agreed, and he also took her home to Naas. 82.Dairine escaped from her imprisonment and 82.Firthir on seeing her alive was to die from the absolute shock of what he had done and 82.Dairine was to then also pine away from a broken heart at the loss of her sister. *81.Toole Teachtmhar on finding out what Eochy Ainchean had brought about besieged Southern Leinster and imposed a tremendous triennial fine / eric upon the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Ui Lughaidh Cu Corb Septs generally in the Southern Leinster Province, of 5,000 cows, for the loss of his only two daughters and also decreed that this fine was to be then paid "forever" to the furure Gaelic Kings of Tara / Ireland, and it was from then on to be collected by the next 40 Gaelic Kings of Tara naturally under "great duress," and always with much "hostility" between them all.

      The ongoing "triennial tribute" was to create many "internal conflicts" in the future between the Gaelic Kings of Tara and the Heremonian Kings of Southern Leinster until it would be eventually "remitted" much later on in 695 AD by *93.Finsnechta / Fionnachta Fledach - Snow of Wine / or the Festive who was then to be the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill Siol nAedo Slaine 148th King of Ireland, under the pleading of the highly respected Gaelic Milesian Irian monk, St. Moling / St. Mullen in Co. Carlow in Southern Leinster although he was to be strongly advised not to by his confessor, St. Adomnan.
