(Later

Munster Province
The
Concani

were in
what is now known as

the north - west, which was
at this time geographically still part of Aidhne
in
Southern
Connacht
/ Sreng's Fifth
situated above
Regia Alterior on the River Shannon,
while
the Gangani
Sept
were below in Co.
Limerick in
Northern Munster
in the mid - north - west
(who were also in the north of Wales)
with the
Luceni
Sept
to the south - west of them, while the
Gaelic
Brigantes were
now
in
Co. Waterford
in
Northern Munster in
the south - east
(who were also
still in
the
north
of
Briton during
the Roman occupation), and they were
above the
Vodiae

and
to the north - west of the Iverni

Erainn
Sept
who were to be
the base for
the
Gaelic
Ithian Corca
Loigde
aristocratic warrior
Sept
who were situated to the north -
west of the Uterni Sept.
Ireland had been previously divided up into
5
Cuigi /
Five Fifths / Provinces, by the Fir Bolg, which all came together at the
Hill of
Ushnagh in Co.
Westmeath in the Midlands /
Midhe /
Meath in the west of
Northern Leinster, situated ten miles south - west of
Mullingar at the "Stone of Divisions"
/ Ail na
Mirian and of these 5
Cuigi,
the
Ulster Province
situated
in the north of Ireland was
under the Gaelic Milesian
Irian Ulaid Septs who had been the most "predominant" for quite a while, but Sreng's Fifth / Connacht Province
that was
also to be a future
Gaelic Milesian
Heremonian
kingdom, that was
situated to the "west" of the River Shannon,
was to soon become the pre - dominant one.
The
territory in the south of
Ireland, taking in the
Munster Province and
Southern Leinster
that
had originally been in *37.Heber's Half
was to eventually be in his
Heberian descendant's,
83.Mogha's Half in the 2nd
Century AD.
Later
on in the early
4th Century AD the territory
in the very south of what had
been Sreng's
Fifth that would be by
then the
Connacht Province,
situated
today in the north - west of
the
Munster Province,
in what is now the east of
Co.
Clare.
would have become “sword - land“ by then and under the control of the Heberian
Septs of the (Family Region)
Tuath
/ Tuadh Muman
in Tuaisceart Mhumhain
/ Thomond / Northern Munster
who would also by then be under
the leadership of
89.Lewy / Lughaidh
Meann
- of the Irish Sea who would become the "male line" direct ancestor in the future of
the Heberian Dal gCais Sept in
Northern Munster / Thomond. Although
geographically it was stil lo be the most "southern" part of
the
Connacht Province, in the
Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Fiachrach kingdom of
Aidhne situated below
Co. Galway down to the River
Shannon estuary, it would then instead become a part of the
kingdom of
Northern
Munster under the
future direct rule of the Heberian Dal gCais
Sept.
The
territory
that was
situated in the "east" of the
Munster Province,
that was
also under the
control of the Heberian Septs, would in reality
be geographically
situated in the south
- west of Southern Leinster,
adjoining the Munster Province
and was
to be
the kingdom of Ossory,
originally an ancient kingdom of the
Osraige
Sept
who were initially
Erainn Fir Bolg Celts who had held
out there in their own right against the inroads of the
Laigin / Leinster
Heremonian
Ui Laoghaire Septs, and who were to
nevertheless
finally come under the control of the
aristocratic
warrior Heremonian
Ui Laoghaire Ui Connla
Septs
there.
Like so many of the individual Clanna the
Fir
Bolg Septs were to be eventually "absorbed" into the
aristocratic warrior Gaelic
Septs / Family branches
there, and Ireland
was to still continue to remain basically a
"Celtic Country"
with a "Celtic Culture" for over a
1,000 years until the
coming of the Teutonic
Scandinavian Fionn Gall
/ Fair Foreigners and the Dubh Gall
/ Dark Foreigners which were to be Viking invasions in the late
8th Century AD. The Celtic aristocratic warrior
Gaelic
Septs originating previously in
Spain before
they had migrated to Ireland, who were descended
from 34.Breoghan, 35.Bile, 36.Mil
/ Milesius
/ Gollamh
(warrior) and then from 3 of his sons, *37.Eber
Fionn - of Fair Complexion the
direct male line ancestor of
all of the
hEberian
Septs / Fines, *37.Eremon the direct
male line ancestor of
all of the hEremonian Septs
and 37.Ir
the direct ancestor of all of the the
Irian Septs,
were to eventually gain total control over
Ireland,
along with their Gaelic
kinsman descended from
34.Breoghan also,
through
36.Mil's
uncle and cousin,
35.Ithe the direct male line ancestor of the
Ithian Septs and his son,
36.Lewy
/
Lughaidh who had their territory
in
Southern Munster.
In Munster Province
eventually there were
to be also among others the Heremonian
Ui Cobhthaigh Septs of the
Deisi Muman, the many
Heberian Eoghanachta Septs
including the
Ui Liathain, the
Fir Maige / Muighe Fene / Fearmuighe
/ Fermoy, the
Arada Chliach,
the Heremonian
Ui Cobhthaigh
Ui Conaire Muscraige Breogain,
the Cenel nAeda,
the
Ciarraige Cuirche
Sept
the
Heberian In Deis Deiscirt,
the Uaithne / Owney
Sept who were to be dominated later on by the
Ui Loingseach
/ O Lynch Sept, the
Heremonian
Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Conaire
Arada Tire,
the
Heremonian
Ui Cobhthaigh
Ui Conaire
Muscraige Tire and the Ui Duach
among others.
Early
on in this Century
Moran mac Cairbre,
a son of
*Maion
/ Cairbre the Fir Bolg 101st King of Ireland, was to be the
Chief Judge /
Brehon
of Ireland
Setanta /
Cu Chulann
who was to be
the archetype of
all Gaelic
Irish
aristocratic
warriors, whose golden hair grew in 3
coils in the hollow in the nape of his neck and hung over his shoulders in
ringlets, was to arrive at

occur under Aulus
Plautius and Roman rule would then continue on in Briton
until 410 AD, although the "northern" Scythian

was then sacked by the
combined forces of
the
Celtic Trinovantes Sept, and the Celtic
Iceni Sept of what was to later become
East Anglia, who were both led by
Boadicea / Boudicca. The "combined" Celtic Septs were eventually
"defeated" by the Romans
