1042 AD 112.Murrough / Murchad the Heremonian Cu Corb Ui Dunlainge Ui Muireadhaigh 50th King of Leinster, and Donough the Heremonian Cu Corb Ui Bairrche King, a son of Aedh, were both slain in the "Battle of Magh Ma" by 111.Gilla Padraig from the Heremonian Ui Connla Sept. who was a son of 110.Donough mac Giolla Padraig (Fitz Patrick.)(112.Murrough had been one of the 4 sons of 111.Dunlaing the previous 45a King of Leinster descended from 103.Murray / Muireadach the 18th King of Leinster the "direct male line" ancestor of the Ui Muireadhaigh Sept in the Leinster Province.and his "demise" was to see the "end" of the Ui Dunlainge Ui Muireadhaigh male line altogether to the Kingship of Leinster.

     *110.Diarmait mac Mail na mBo - of Many Cattle, who was the Heremonian Cu Corb 61st Ui Cheinnselaig / Kinsella King, now became the 51st King of Leinster, regaining the Kingship of Leinster for his Ui Cheinnselaig Sept after being out of the limelight for 304 years, and he would continue to rule Southern Leinster for the next 30 years in his own right and be able to gain an "alliance" with the Heberian Septs in the Munster Province and thereby assert his authority also over the Viking strongholds of Waterford in Co. Waterford along the coast in the south - east of Munster Province, and Wexford and Dublin on the east coast of Southern Leinster, while eventually becoming the overall ruler of Dublin also. This would allow him to install his own "son" as the Heremonian Cu Corb Ui Cheinnselaig King of Dublin and was also to besiege the "declining" Heremonian Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill Septs in their kingdom in nearby Meath / Midhe in Northern Leinster, while he also "allied" himself also with the Heremonian Dal Cuinn U Briuin Septs to the north - west in the Connacht Province. He also had a strong connection with *107.Turlough O Brian, who was still involved in his own personal struggle with his uncle, *106.Donough, the Heberian Dal gCais Ui mBriain 176th King of Ireland - with opposition (the younger son of *105.Brian Boru the previous 175th King of Ireland and 110.Gormlaith), who was also the Heberian Dal gCais 42nd King of Cashel / Munster. (During his 30 year rule, *110.Diarmait mac Mail na Bo was to become the "most powerful" Irish King in the whole of Southern Ireland / Mogha's Half, and the "unofficial" 177th King Ireland who was to also contest with *106. Donough for overall control in Ireland.

     Aodh who was the Abbot of Skellig Michael monastery, situated off the coast of Co. Cork in Southern Munster, "died" this year. 

1045 AD 107.Carthy / Carthach (the Loving One) who was a "renowned" aristocratic warrior and Heberian Eoghanacht Chaisil Prince / Tanaiste who had his territory in the south of the Munster Province, and who was a grandson of 105.Donough / Donnchad the previous Heberian Eoghanacht 38th King of Cashel / Munster, was slain this year when the Heberian Dalcassian O Lonergan Sept burnt his residence while he was still in it, and he was to now become the "direct male line" ancestor of "all" of the Mac Carthy Septs of Des Muma / Desmond / Southern Munster who were to be descended from his son. 108.Laidir - the Strong mac Carthy who became the Eoghanacht Prince / Tanaiste / heir apparent of Muskerry at Blarney in Co. Cork in Southern Munster, and due to their "increasing importance" the Mac Carthys were to also construct Balla Castle, which is the "oldest" inhabited Castle in Ireland today, at Carrig Aline in Co Cork, as their Sept was to now begin to gain great "prominence" there in Desmond / Southern Munster.

 Casey / Cathasaigh Mac Corcoran the Heberian Cianacht Co - Arb of Glen Uissen in the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Cu Corb Ui Bairrche / O Gorman territory in Co. Carlow in Southern Leinster, "died" this year.

1045 - 1061 AD Garvey / Gairbhedh O Casey was to be the Heberian Cianacht King of Breagh / Brega in the east of Co. Meath in Northern Leinster.

1046 AD108.Murtough O Niall the Tanaiste / heir apparent from the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill Cenel nEogain Sept who was one of the sons of 107.Flaherty / Flaithbertach an Trostain O Niall - of the Pilgrim’s Staff the previous 40th King of Aileach in the Ulster Province, laid siege with Aiteidh Ua hAiteidh the Gaelic Milesian Irian Ui Echach Ulaidh King from the north - east of the Ulster Province, to the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill Siol nAedo Slaine kingdom of Brega in Meath / Midhe in the south - east of Northern Leinster. Garvey / Gairbhedh O Casey / Ua Cathasaigh the Heberian Cianacht King of Brega overtook him at Cassan Linne while the tide was still up and 108.Murtough O Niall and Aiteidh Ua hAiteidh the Irian Ui Echach Ulaidh King, along with many others were slain, as they were burnt to death in a house set on fire there in Uachtar Tire by Cu Uladh from the the nearby Heremonian Dal Fiatach Sept, who was a son of Congalach, The loss of 108.Murtough was to have great consequences as from now on for the next 104 years not one of the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill Cenel nEogain O Nialls was to be "recorded" in the "Annals of Ulster Province."

1049 AD *106.Donough mac Brian, (the son of *105.Brian Boru, and 110.Gormlaith), the Heberian Dal gCais 42nd King of Cashel / Munster who was by now generally recognised as the 176th King of Ireland, although he still had plenty of "opposition," decided to carry out a raid on the fortress of who he considered was now his "strongest" opponent, *110.Diarmait mac Mail na mBo the Heremonian Cu Corb Ui Cheinnselaig 51st King of Leinster who was set up at Ferns in Southern Leinster, as before he could really gain the title of the "overall" Kingship of Ireland in his own right he needed to show that his authority still existed there in Mogha's Half, but undaunted *110.Diarmait Mail na mBo retaliated and besieged *106.Donough mac Brian's personal territory in Co. Clare in the north - west of the Munster Province. Meanwhile, 112.Aed in Gai Bernaig O Connor the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Briuin Ai 49th King of Connacht also took this "opportunity" to attack the "southern" part of Co. Clare to also show his intentions as to the overall Kingship of Ireland and opposition to *106.Donough mac Brian who in retaliation also then sent his son, 107.Murrough O Brian - of the Short Shield with his Dalcassian warriors to the north - west to attack 112.Aed in Gai Bernaig O Connor. This forced *107.Turlough O Brian, who was not only *106.Donough's son - in - law but also his nephew, to "join forces" with 112.Aed in Gai Bernaig O Connor, who had previously been his foster - father, and 15 of 107.Murrough O Brian's - of the Short Shield Dal gCais Ui mBriain Chiefs and 400 of his Dalcassian aristocratic warriors were slain in the ensuing conflict. 112.Aed In Gai Bernaig O Connor then full of confidence decided to besiege and destroy the Heberian Dal gCais Ui Turlough Ui mBriain strongholds at Kincora and Killaloe in Co. Clare, and after this *106.Donough mac Brian was to also be "defeated" in Co. Tipperary in the north - east of the Munster Province. *106.Donough mac Brian decided that he had, had enough of the continual infighting and went off to Rome to do Penance for his previous escapades, and he would eventually die there in 1074 AD,

    All of the previous turmoil being carried out against *106.Donough mac Brian made the overall position of *110.Diarmait mac Mail na mBo the Heremonian Cu Corb 51st King of Leinster, the son of 109.Donough na Mael mBo, so "dominant" now that not only did he he set himself up on the Rock of Cashel in Co. Tipperary, but may have even reigned there as the "unofficial" 177th King of Ireland  - although with opposition until he was to die in 1072 AD and he also installed *107.Turlough O Brian, in as the new Heberian Dal gCais 43rd King of Northern Munster / Thomond to replace his uncle, *106.Donough mac Brian. Over the years ahead *107.Turlough O Brian, who was the son of *106.Donough's deceased older half - brother 106.Teague / Tadhg whose demise *106.Donough mac Brian had been originally heavily involved in, would progress to become not only the 43rd King of Cashel / Munster, but also the 178th King of Ireland.

    Turlough O Casey from the Heberian Cianacht Sept of Saithne in Bregia in Co. Meath in Northern Leinster was slain this year.
