1111 AD *108.Murtough Mor O Brian the Heberian Dal gCais 44th King of Cashel / Munster and 180th King of Ireland - with opposition was at this time in Dublin in the north - east of Southern Leinster in his position as the overall King of Mogha's Half (Southern Leinster and the Munster Province / Southern Ireland) and Gilbert the Catholic Bishop of Limerick, who was the "second" Papal Legate to Ireland, presided with him over a Reforming Synod at Rath Breasail that was conducted by the Cistercian monks who had just recently arrived into Ireland and they now "divided" the Irish population into 3 distinct groups, "Those who Pray," "Those who Fight," and "Those who Work." They also divided the Catholic Church in Ireland into "two" halves, whereby Armagh in Co. Armagh in the Ulster Province was to be the "main" See, and Cashel in Co. Tipperary in the north - east of the Munster Province the "secondary" See, and each of these were then also divided into 12 Dioceses, allocated to different provisional kingdoms, which included the Connor Diocese in Co. Armagh in the Ulster Province, while the boundaries of the Ossory Diocese was to be in Co. Kilkenny in the south - west of Southern Leinster. Also attending was Kelly / Ceallach the Abbot of Armagh who was from the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Colla Da Croch Ui Sinaig Sept, which had previously controlled the Abbacy of Armagh for over 100 years as the main religious centre, who himself personally had recently also taken up "Holy Orders," which meant that he had broken with their tradition, as the previous Abbots of Armagh had only ever been laymen. Later on another "Religious Synod" would also be held at Kells in Co. Meath in the kingdom of the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill in the south - east of Northern Leinster. The territory also of the Heberian Cianachta Gailenga Sept and Ciannachta Luigni Sept to the south of the Ox Mountains in the north of the Connacht Province now became the Achrony Diocese, where the Heberian Cianacht O Garas and O Haras in their kingdom of Leyney were to become very prominent there well into the 17th Century AD.

       O Cane / O Kane / Ua Cathain was the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill Cenel nEogain King in his territory there now also "took over" the territory of the Heberian Cianachta Fir Li Sept who had their kingdom nearby in the north - east of the Ulster Province, which was situated below the territory of his kinsmen the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill Cenel nEogain Septs, and he then also became the Heremonian Dal Cuinn King of the Heberian Cianachta Glinne Geimhin Sept and both of these Septs who were of aristocratic warrior origins had initially originated in the Munster Province from 85.Keen / Cian, one of the sons of 84.Ailill Oluimm the 1st King of Munster, who is the direct male line ancestor of all of the Heberian Cianachta Septs

 1112 AD Murtough O Kennedy was now the Heberian Dal gCais Ui Bloid Ui Turlough King of North - Eastern Munster / Ormond in Co. Tipperary in the Munster Province.

1113 AD *109.Donnell Mac Loughlin / Domhnall Mheic Lochlainn the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill Cenel nEogain 51st King of Aileach and 179th King of Ireland - with opposition, whose rule was mainly restricted to the "north" in the Ulster Province, "deposed" 110.Donough mac Dunlevy / Donnchad mheic Duinnshliebe the Heremonian Dal Fiatach 59th King of Ulaid who had his territory in the north - east of Ulster Province, who he also "blinded" at the same time to ensure his lack of "eligibility" and to also further "weaken" the Heremonian Dal Fiatach Sept there, and to further exert his own personal overall authority, and he then "divided" the territory of the Heremonian Dal Fiatach Sept between the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Colla Da Crioch O Mahons / Ui Mathgamain and 110.Donough mac Dunlevy's brothers. He did not interfere with the Gaelic Milesian Irian Dal nAraidi Sept in the kingdom of Ulaid who were by now well in "decline" also there anyway, who were all originally descended from 37.Ir, and their sub - Sept the Irian Ui Echach Cobo Sept, as he was now mainly intent on reducing the authority of the more "dominant" Heremonian Dal Fiatach Sept, while gaining the overlordship of the territories of these 2 eastern kingdoms in Ulster Province.

      114.Donnell mac Donough mac Gilla Patrick (Fitz Patrick) the Heremonian Ui Connla King of Ossory in Co. Kilkenny in the south - west of Southern Leinster "died" this year, who was a son of 113.Donnchad mac Donnell / Domhnaill a previous King of Ossory. and Donough Mac Gilla Patrick / Donnchad Mheic Giolla Patraic (Fitz Patrick) was now to become the new Heremonian Ui Connla King of Ossory until 1123 AD, who was a son of Gilla Patraic Ruadh - of Red Complexion who had been a previous King of Ossory who had died in 1103AD.

1114 AD *108.Murtough Mor O Brian the Heberian Dal gCais Ui mBriain King of Northern Munster / Thomond, and 44th King of Cashel / Munster and 180th King of Ireland - still with opposition was now "weakened" by illness, and he lost his position as the King of Cashel / Munster, and his nephew 109.Donnell / Domhnall O Brian became the new 44b King of Cashel / Munster, who was a son of 108.Teague / Tadhg O Brian who had been the previous 42a King of Cashel / Munster, who had also been a brother to *108.Murtough Mor O Brian.

      The Viking Danes burnt down another church this year near Emly in Co. Tipperary in the north - east of the Munster Province.

1115 AD 109.Donnell O Brian the newly elected Heberian Dal gCais Ui Bloid Ui Turlough Ui mBriain King of Northern Munster / Thomond and the 44b King of Cashel / Munster had a very "short reign" as he was to "die" this year, and he had been a son of 108.Teague O Brian the previous 44a King of Cashel / Munster who had died in 1086 AD, one of the 3 sons of *107.Turlough O Brian the 43rd King of Cashel / Munster and 178th King of Ireland who had also "died" in the same year in 1086 AD. 109.Donnell O Brian's father, 108.Teague O Brian was a brother to *108.Murtough Mor O Brian the previous "incapacitated" King of Northern Munster / Thomond, the 44th King of Cashel / Munster and the 180th King of Ireland, and also of 108.Diarmait O Brian who would become the future 45th King of Cashel / Munster. This was to see the "end" of 109.Donnell O Briain's particular U Turlough Ui mBriain male line extending from 106.Teague mac Brian, the previous older surviving son of *105.Brian Boru, to the Kingships. *108.Murtough Mor O Brian, his uncle, was now also able to "recover" from his illness this year and he "reclaimed" his titles as the Heberian Dal gCais King of Norhern Munster / Thomond and 44th King of Cashel / Munster to uphold his authority in Mogha's Half.

      Meanwhile *114.Turlough O Connor the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Briuin Siol Muireadhaigh / Sil Murray Ui Conchobair 55th King of Connacht was now growing even stronger, and he too also "divided" the declining nearby kingdom of Meath / Midhe in the south of Northern Leinster to further impede the previous overall authority of the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill Clann Cholmain Kings there while endeavouring to remove any chance that they also may have had to "regain" back the overall Kingship of Ireland.

     112.Donough Mac Murrough / Donnchad Mheic Murchada the Heremonian Cu Corb 63rd Ui Cheinnselaig King and the 56th King of Leinster, "died" this year, who was a brother to 112.Donnell / Domhnall Mac Murrough the previous 52nd King of Leinster who had "died" previously in 1075 AD, which had also ended his particular male line to the Kingship. He was also a brother to 112.Enda / Enna Mac Murrogh who was to be the father of another 113.Diarmait Mac Murrough who now became the new Heremonian Cu Corb Ui Cheinnselaig 57th King of Leinster. Their father had been 111.Murrough / Murchad the previous 51a King of Leinster who had "died" in 1070 AD the "progenitor" of the Mac Murroughs in Southern Leinster, who was a son of *110.Diarmait mac Mail na mBo - of the Many Cattle the previous 51st King of Leinster who had died in 1072 AD after reviving the fortunes of the Ui Cheinnselaig Sept's male line and possibly becoming the "unofficial" 177th King of Ireland - with opposition. They were all initially descended from 94.Enda / Enna Cennsalach / Kinsella who had been the 2nd Cu Corb King of Leinster and the "direct male line" ancestor of the Ui Cheinnselaig Sept and 95.Criffin / Crimthann the 1st Ui Cheinnselaig King and 3rd Cu Corb King of Leinster who had died in 483 AD. 112.Donough mac Murrough was to also be the father of the "infamous" 113.Diarmait Mac Murrough na Gall - of the Foreigners, who would become the 59th King of Leinster and be responsible for eventually bringing the Anglo - Norman English into Ireland and the terrible 900 years of "ethnic and religious oppression" to come.  

1116 AD *108.Murtough Mor O Brian the King of Northern Munster / Thomond who was once again also the 44th King of Cashel / Munster and 180th King of Ireland - with opposition was "deposed" again, and this time he entered the monastery at Lismore in Co. Waterford in the south - east of the Munster Province, and his brother 108.Diarmait O Brian became the new Heberian Dal gCais Ui mBriain King of Northern Munster / Thomond and 45th King of Cashel / Munster.

     *114.Turlough / Tairdelbach O Connor the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Briuin Ai Siol Muireadhaigh / Sil Murray Ui Conchobair 55th King of Connacht was by now seeking any further opportunities to gain the overall authority for his Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Briuin Sept in Ireland, and this year he was to besiege the previous fortress of the Heberian Dalcassian Ui mBriain O Brians at Kincora in Co. Clare in the north - west of the Munster Province and by destroying this previous main seat he was able to "assert his authority" over the Heberian Dal gCais Sept as another step on the ladder towards obtaining the overall Kingship of Ireland for the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Briuin Sept, which had been totally unexpected.

1117 AD 113.Diarmait Mac Murrough / Mheic Murchada the Heremonian Cu Corb Ui Cheinnselaig 57th King of Leinster, "died" this year, who had been a son of 112.Enda / Enna mac Murrough, another of the 3 sons of 111.Murrough the previous 51a King of Leinster the "direct male line" ancestor of the Cu Corb Mac Murrough Sept in Southern Leinster, who had been one of the 2 sons of *110.Diarmait mac Mail na mBo - of the Many Cattle the previous 51st King of Leinster and "unofficial"177th King of Ireland - with opposition. (This was also to see the "end" of his "particular" 113.Diamait Mac Murrough Ui Cheinnselaig male line to the Leinster Kingship).

      113.Enda / Enna Mac Murrough who was now the 64th Ui Cheinnselaig King became the new Heremonian Cu Corb 58th King of Leinster, who was one of the 2 sons of  112.Donough / Donnchad mac Murrough, the previous 56th King of Leinster, who himself was one of the 3 sons of 111.Murrough / Murchad the 51a King of Leinster the original ancestor of the Mac Murroughs and 113.Enda Mac Murrough was to also be a brother to the "infamous" entity, 113.Diarmait Mac Murrough na Gall - of the Foreigners who would be the "catalyst" for bringing on the Anglo - Norman English Invasion into Ireland and the 900 years of constant oppression on all things Irish.

    Two of the Heberian Dal gCais Ui Bloid Ui Turlough O Kennedy Chiefs from their kingdom of North-Eastern Munster / Ormond were slain in a conflict with the Connacht Province Septs.

1118 AD 108.Diarmait O Brian who was now the Heberian Dal gCais King of Northern Munster / Thomond and the 45th King of Cashel / Munster, "died" this year, who was one of the 3 sons of *107.Turlough O Brian the previous Heberian Dal gCais King of Northern Munster / Thomond, the 43rd King of Cashel / Munster and the 178th King of Ireland, and 108.Brian O Brian now became the new King of Northern Munster / Thomond and 46a? King of Cashel / Munster, who was a son of 107.Murrough O Brian, the previous 42a King of Cashel / Munster, one of the 2 sons of *106.Donough mac Brian the 42nd King of Munster. (He had been the younger surviving son of *105.Brian Boru the 175th High King of Ireland and 110.Gormlaith). 108.Brian O Brian too, also "died" this year, and this was to "end" his particular Heberian Dal gCais Ui Turlough Ui mBriain male line from *106.Donough mac Brian to the Kingships and another 109.Turlough O Brian became the new Dal gCais 46th King of Cashel / Munster, who was a one of the 3 sons of 108.Diarmait O Brian the previous King of Northern Munster / Thomond and 45th King of Cashel / Munster.

1119 AD St. Malachy O Morgair when he was young had attached himself to Imar, a hermit, and his intensive "piety" by this time had been brought to the notice of Kelly / Ceallach the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Colla Da Crioch Abbot and Catholic Bishop of Armagh, and he was later to be ordained, and because of his earnest piety and commitment to religious "reform," after his death he was to become Ireland's "first" official Papal Saint.

      *108.Murtough Mor O Brian the previous Heberian Dalcassian Ui mBriain King of Northern Munster / Thomond, the 44th King of Cashel / Munster and 180th King of Ireland - with opposition, "died" this year, at Killaloe in Co. Clare in the north - west of the Munster Province and was interred there, just as *114.Turlough O Connor the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Briain Ai Siol Muireadhaigh / Sil Murray Ui Conchobair 55th King of Connacht decided to lay siege to the Munster Province destroying Kincora the previous Ui mBriain capital at Killaloe and also occupied the fortress at Killaloe personally, and the "great days" of the Heberian Dal gCais Sept and of the Munster Province were to also to begin to "unravel" also and come to an "end." *108.Murtough Mor O Brian's son, 109.Conor na Catharach O Brian became the new King of Northern Munster / Thomond who was to reign until 1142 AD, while his other son another 109.Turlough O Brian was also installed as the Prince / Tanaiste of Northern Munster / Thomond. (Their eventual "demise" would see the "end" of their particular Heberian Dal g Cais Ui mBriain male line also from 106.Teague O Brian, (the previous oldest surviving son of *105.Brian Boru the 175th High King of Ireland and Eachraid) after the "Battle of Clontarf" and to *108.Murtough Mor O Brian as the Dal gCais Cashel / Munster Kings also.

       109.Conor na Catharach O Brian the new Heberian Dal gCais Ui mBriain King of Northern Munster / Thomond endeavouring to push himself forward to be the next Heberian Dalcassian King of Cashel / Munster also (and possibly a chance at becoming the King of Ireland) laid siege to Southern Leinster to try and assert his own position further in Mogha's Half in the new scheme of things, and he also took the opportunity to "subdue" the Viking Danes in Waterford in Co. Waterford nearby in the south - east of the Munster Province and also in Dublin, which had all previously been ancient Heberian subject territory in Mogha's Half. While 109.Conor Catharach O Brian was away on this "expedition" this was to allow *114.Turlough O Connor the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Briuin Ai Siol Muireadhaigh / Sil Murray Ui Conchobair 55th King of Connacht  to put him also in his place by once again "attacking" the O Brian fortress at Killaloe in Co. Clare. (At this time another 109.Donough O Brian who was a son of 108.Diarmait O Brian the previous 45th King of Cashel / Munster, was the Catholic Bishop of Killaloe.)

      Meanwhile because of the recent "demise" of *108.Murtough Mor O Brian the180th King of Ireland, *109.Donnell Mac Loughlin / Domhnall Mheic Lochlainn the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill Cenel nEogain 51st King of Aileach in the Ulster Province who was also the previous 179th King of Ireland - with opposition was now allowed to continue to rule in Ireland in his "own right" for the next 2 years as overall King of Ireland until 1121 AD.

1120 AD Sitric Silkbeard who had been the half - Viking King of Dublin in the early 11th Century AD had constructed a monastery on Inis Patrick at Skerries and the ruins are still there to be seen, and he had also begun the construction of Christ Church Cathedral there in Dublin, and St. Patrick had also originally landed on that island and stayed there for 3 weeks in 432 AD before crossing over daily onto Red Island where his footprints were carved into the rock.

1120 AD - 1150 AD The Book of Leinster was composed during this period containing the conflicts between the Viking Danes and the Gaelsand also the genealogy of the Heberian Dal gCais Ui Bloid Ui Turlough Ui mBriain Septs up until this year, and was to be later continued on until 1130 AD when the the previous genealogy, legend and history of Ireland, was to be expanded in the Book of Ballymote in 1391 AD and also the Book of Lecan in 1416 AD.
