1001 AD *105.Brian Boru - of the Tributes the Heberian Ui Bloid Ui Turlough Dal gCais King of Northern Munster / Thomond, and the 41st King of Cashel / Munster, was by now well and truly in control of Mogha's Half / Southern Ireland, so he gathered up his fleet and sailed up the River Shannon where he laid siege to the invading Teutonic Scandinavian Vikings who had set themselves up there at Athlone in Co. Westmeath in the south - west of Northern Leinster east of the River Shannon and while there he also decided to once again "besiege" the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill kingdom of Meath / Midhe in Northern Leinster of *107.Malachy 11 / Mael Sechnaill the Clann Cholmain 174th King of Ireland. *107.Malachy 11 was by now well and truly aware that he was personally facing a determined Irish opposition also that would be capable of doing something really outstanding against the increasing presence of the Vikings and in the interest of the cause he was to decide it was time to accept *105.Brian Boru as the over - King instead, and in this regard he would give over hostages to *105.Brian Boru not only from his own Sept, but also those that he was holding from the Connacht Province situated to the west of the River Shannon. *107.Malachy 11 in desperation "previously" had sent the chief poet from the kingdom of Ulaidh back up to the north to the Ulster Province to "petition" his Heremonian Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill "kinsman," who were now under the leadership of 106.Aed O Niall in the kingdm of Craeb Tulca, who was the Heremonian Cenel nEogain King in Tyrone / Tir Eogan (The Land of 91.Eogan), and by now also for all purposes basically the Heremonian King of Ulster Province, as he had desperately wanted him to come down from the north and "support" him against *105.Brian Boru. *105.Brian Boru had previously demanded that *107.Malachy 11 "abdicate" his overall Kingship position in the best interests of all of the Irish Septs in Ireland, so that he could instead take over the the "overall responsibility" for an all out attack on the ever growing "threat" and menace that was the Vikings and *107.Malachy 11 had also since received a reply from 106.Aed O Niall who had stated that, "He would not risk his life in battle against the Heberian Dal gCais Sept of Northern Munster /Thomond, in defence of sovereignty, for any man."

AD
*105.Brian
Boru
- of the Tributes
who was now the Heberian Dal gCais 175th
High King of Ireland still "with oppostion" tried to
extend his
overall authority once again into the north
of Ireland, but failed
again,
as the
Ulaid Irish Septs
there
in the north - east still would not
"ally"
with him
to assist in his challenge to the
growing
authority there in the
Ulster Province of the
Heremonian Dal Cuinn
"northern"
Ui
Niaill
Septs, especially the
Cenel nEogain Sept
under
106.Aed O Niaill
who
was
the
39th King
of Aileach, but instead
the Ulaid Septs in
UlsternProvince decided to take up
the initiative themselves and the
107.Flaherty
/ Flaithbertach
an Trostain O Niall
- of the
Pilgrim's Staff also from the
Heremonian Dal Cuinn "northern"
Ui Niaill
Cenel nEogain Sept now became the new

Mountjoy, the destructive
English Lord Deputy,
on behalf of
Elizabeth 1st the Welsh Tudor Anglo - Norman Queen of
England. The Cenel nEogain's Inauguration
Stone Slab / Lecc
was actually situated on the slope
of the mound outside of the
fort /
rath
where they had their Nemeton
/ Nemed Bile / Sacred Oak Grove,
which to fell or burn was to be construed as a "deadly insult" against them.
The Sacred Mounds themselves were usually based on a
previous
Neolithic or
Bronze Age
Burial Cairns.
1005
AD
*105.Brian
Boru
the
Heberian Dal

monastery in
Co. Armagh in the south - east of the
Ulster
Province where he stayed for a week recognizing its
"religious
primacy" over the other Abbeys in
Ireland, and
in doing so he received it's "support," while accompanied by his
secretary
Maol
Suthain
O Carroll,
who was himself a
Heremonian
Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Conaire
Muscraige King in his own right, who
officially
entered *105.Brian Boru's
name in the
Book of Armagh
there as the "Imperator Scottorum."
*105.Brian Boru promised to
pay them a personal tribute
giving them
20
ounces of gold
on the
altar
there towards a
"Shrine"
for a cover for the
Book of Armagh,
and
Maor -
the Keeper of the
Book of Armagh
was to receive
"land"
to protect it' and from then on due to this important responsibility the descendants of
Maor
became known then as the
Mheic
Maor
(Descended from a son of Maor) and
later still became known
as
Mac Moyre (Descended from a Son of the Keeper) whose
Family were able to protect
it until 1662 AD when
Florentinus Moyre
was to be the last one
from the Family to do so.
*105.Brian
Boru's
sojourn this time into the Ulster Province was to also finally gain
"hostages" there from 107.Flaherty an Trostain O Niall
who was
now the
Heremonian Dal Cuinn
"northern" Ui Niaill
Cenel nEogain 40th King
of Aileach
in the Ulster Province, but hostages were
still "not received" from their kinsmen the other Dal Cuinn "northern"
Ui Niaill
Cenel Conaill Sept who had their particular
territory in
Tir Conaill /
Tyrconnell (The Land of 90.Conall Gulban)
now known as Co.

north - west of
Ulster Province.
*105.Brian
Boru
-
of the Tributes the Heberian Dal gCais
175th High King of
Ireland still
"with opposition"
who was now also
acknowledged at
Armagh in Co.
Armagh as the
"Imperator Scotorum," called
on all the fleets of the
Norsemen from
Co. Dublin,
Co.
Waterford, Co. Wexford and the
Munster Province to join in with his agenda, and
also
levied tributes
from the
Anglo -Saxons and the
Britons /
Brythons to
Clyde, and from
the
Heremonian
Ui Cobhthaigh
Dal Cuinn Cenel Eoghan
Scottii
in their territory in
Argyle
(The Land of the
Gael) in the
Highlands of Scotland.
1006 AD *105.Brian Boru the Heberian Dal gCais 175th High King of Ireland "with opposition" gained more "hostages" this year from the north of Ireland to continue to strengthen his "overall authority" there also and for their ongoing "good behaviour," but there was still "no submission" from the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill Cenel Conaill Sept who had their particular territory in the far "north - west" of the Ulster Province.
107.Flaherty an Trostain O Niall - of the Pilgrim Staff the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill Cenel nEogain 40th King of Aileach besieged the kingdom of Ulidia / Ulaidh in the east of the Ulster Province to increase his overall "personal" authority in the Ulster Province and Cu Uladh the Heremonian Dal Fiatach Leth Cathail King there was slain, who had been a son of Angus / Oenghus, and he was to gain seven hostages for their "good conduct" there from then on.
The
Book of Kells
the most beautiful book in the world belonging to the followers of
94.St. Columbcille
/ St. Columba was
"stolen" from the Church at
Kells /
Ceanannus Mor (The Great Head Fort) in Co.
Meath in the south - east of Northern Leinster,
and was
to be discovered
two
months later buried under the earth, but the gold cover made up of the
20
ounces of gold presented previously by *105.Brian
Boru was gone.
1007
AD
*105.Brian
Boru the
Heberian Dal
gCais
175th High King of Ireland
still "with opposition" conducted an
expedition once again to the north of Ireland into the Ulster
Province to try and finally achieve total overall authority,
and although he gained more hostages there,
he
still received "none" from the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "northern"
Ui Niaill
Cenel Conaill Sept
in
Tyrconnell
/
Tir Conaill (The Land of
91.Conall Gulban)
who had their territory in the far - north - west in Co.
Donegal / The Fort of the Strangers.
A further
4
Irish Kings were to be "slain" this year in
the Ulster
Province in individual conflicts there, while they were still trying to work out who now had the
real overall "authority" in that
particular
region while the Heremonian Dal Cuinn
Colla Da Crioch
Mac Mahons
/ Ui Mathghamhna, and the
Heremonian Dal Fiatach Mac
Dunlevys
/ Mheic Duinnshliebe
from the
Dal Fiatach Ulaid
Sept, who were to be descended from
109.Dunlevy
/ Donn Sliebe, were in the future to
also "contest" for the Kingship of Ulster
in their own respective territories there for 3 future
"generations.
Feeling the overall Viking tyranny was now over *105.Brian Boru was by now "mostly" acknowledged all over Ireland as the Ard Ri / High King, and to further spread his influence he revived the great Fair / Aonarch of Tailltenn situated 4 mile to the south - east of Kells in Co. Meath at Rath Dubh (The Black Fort) and it was then to be held there until the future death of *115.Rory O Connor who would eventually become the last real and 183rd King of Ireland, although also - in opposition, after the coming Anglo - Norman English Invasion in 1169 AD. *105.Brian Boru - of the Tributes was now to receive "tributes" / Boru from all of the kingdoms and would reign for 10 years, during which time he firmly established the Irish Celtic Catholic Church with it's main seat at Armagh in Co. Armagh in the south - east of the Ulster Province while also re - constructing the original buildings of St. Caimmine (D.654 AD) near Inis Cealtra (Holy Island) on Scarrif Bay near Loch Derg in Co. Clare in the north - west of the Munster Province, including the Church of St. Caimmine, St. Brigid's Church and St. Mary's Church where there is also a Round Tower, and the Cell of St. Cosrach, still to be seen today.

/ Donnchad who would "marry" a sister to Harold the future
Saxon King of
England, and also 106.Sadb who would become the
ancestress of the
Heberian
Eoghanacht O Mahonys, had
since brought herself "undone" once again because of her "fiery temperament,"
and she was now "out of favour" also with
*105.Brian
Boru, and by this period in time she was
trying to "get
back" at him by convincing her
half - Viking son, Sitric
Silkbeard
in
Dublin in the north - east of Southern Leinster,
and her brother, 110.Maol
Morda the
Heremonian Cu Corb Ui Faelain
45th King

The Dal Fiatach Sept had previously had their original fort at Downpatrick / Dun da Leithglas in Co. Down in the south - east of Ulster Province.
