01 AD - 100 AD
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.

39 - 56
AD. *80.Fiacha
/ Fiachu
Fionn Ola became the Heremonian
Ui Cobhthaigh
104th

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.
