1211 - 1220 AD
1211 AD The Anglo - Norman Galls / foreigners besieged the Narrow Water / Caol Uisce in the north - east in Co. Down in the Ulster Province and 115.Aedh Meith O Niall the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill Cenel nEogain King of Aileach in Ulster Province combined the forces of the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Cenel nEogain, and his near kinsmen, the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niall Cenel Conaill Septs from the north - west of the Ulster Province, along with the Heremonian Dal Cuinn 3 Colla Septs from their kingdom of Orghialla also in UlsterProvince against them, and many of the English Galls were slain during this particular battle in which the Irish Septs in the Ulster Province had "combined" their efforts..
The "Augustinian" friary of St. John the Evangelist was founded in Co. Kilkenny / Ossory in the south - west of Southern Leinster this year.

1212 AD 115.Aedh Meith O Niall the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niall Cenel nEogain King of Aileach in Ulster Province overtook the English Galls in the Ulster Province with his "combined" Gaelic Irish forces again from the Cenel nEogain, the Cenel Conaill and the 3 Colla Septs from the kingdom of Orghialla, and a countless number of the English Galls / foreigners were once again slain in this second battle and because of his strong combined leadership 115.Aedh Meith O Niall would from now on continue to hold his "prominent " position in Ulster Province until his death in 1230 AD.
The Anglo - Norman Barons in England were continuing to give John "Lackland" the third Angevin Norman English King trouble and he now desperately needed the support of the 27 Anglo - Norman Marcher Barons in Ireland, so he made up with William - the Marshall allowing him to personally to have a free hand in Ireland, and King John "Lackland," then on his advice, who had previously been "excommunicated" by Pope Innocent 111, was to finally make reparation for his previous "erratic" attitude.
Donnell O Kennedy the Heberian Dal gCais Ui Bloid Ui Turlough Catholic Bishop of Killaloe in Co. Clare in Northern Munster, "died" this year.
1213 AD February: Pope Innocent 111 had John "Lackland" the third Angevin Norman English King admit he held both Ireland and England as a "Fief" of the Holy See and the Anglo - Norman Barons now supported John "Lackland" the English Norman King against the King of France, and they had also previously protested when Pope Innocent 111 proposed to "free all"of King John' "Lackland's" subjects from their "allegiance" to him. Walter de Lacy and the planters in the O Melaglins / O Loughlins Heremonian Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill Clann Cholmain kingdom of Meath in the south of Northern Leinster, and the Ulster Province, were "restored" to their previous positions, although they had been involved in the "rebellion" against King John "Lackland," with only Hugh de Lacy left in "exile," and the prisoners who were still in his custody were "released" and the hostages restored. With his renewed connection to King John "Lackland," William - the Marshall was to be later on in a "better position" to promote himself and his cohorts in Ireland under the regency of King John Lackland's young son, Henry 111, while Hubert de Burgh who headed the government in England, was to promote the de Burgh / Burke interests in Ireland also. Although he was to "attempt" to further expand their "profile" in the Connacht Province, he was to meet with "opposition" from the other Anglo - Norman Marcher Barons under Richard - the Marshall when he too came to Ireland.

Bean Midhe, who was the daughter of Ua Einigh the previously slain Heremonian Dal Cuinn 3 Colla King, who was the wife of 115.Aed Meith O Niall the Cenel nEogain King of Aileach, "died" this year. 115.Aedh Meith O Niall now decided to also besiege the Anglo - Norman English Galls who had previously set themselves up on their confiscated Estates in the north - east in the kingdom of Ulidia on the east coast of the Ulster Province, and once again many of these particular English Galls there were also slain.
At this time, the O Maegans / O Maghans / O Mohan / O Maghan / O Mahon / Ui Machain from the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Briuin Sept had their territory at Dun Doighre / Duniry in Co. Galway in Southern Connacht where they were the lawyers and keepers of "The Irish Brehon Law," which had been collected by now for over 700 years.
Sir John de Gray, the newly appointed English Lord Justicar in Ireland for King John "Lackland," began further English "fortifications" against the Gaelic Irish Septs when he constructed Rindown Castle on Loch Ree to the east of Lecarrow in Co. Roscommon in the east of the Connacht Province, and also an adjoining castle at Clonmacnoise in Co. Offaly in the mid - west of Southern Leinster, while another castle, now known as King John's Castle was also constructed there at Shannon Bridge.
1215 AD William de Burgh the "original" Anglo - Norman Baron had been allocated the Connacht Province in fee simple by John "Lackland" the third Angevin Norman English King if he could take it by "armed force" from the Gaelic Irish Septs there, and this English Earldom was then to pass onto his son, Aed de Burgh, with the de Burghs / Burkes becoming involved in many "bloody disputes" in the future in the Connacht Province while trying to gain the "upper hand" there also with their traditional Anglo - Norman "enemies," who were now backing the "rights" of the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Briuin Siol Muireadhach / Sil Murray Ui Conchobair O Connors who were to continue to be a "challenge" to their overall rule there.
Walter de Lacy / de Leice the Anglo - Norman Baron became the "official" English Earl of Meath, again, when he was re - granted the confiscated O Melaglins / O Loughlins Heremonian Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niall Clann Cholmain territory in the kingdom of Meath in the south of Northern Leinster, if he could also take it by "armed force" from the Gaelic Irish Septs who were still surviving there, but his brother Hugo de Lacy was still "not" restored to his previous position as the English Earl in Ulster Province.
The construction on the fortified Dublin Castle (The Devil's 1/2 Acre), in Dublin in Co. Dublin in the north - east of Southern Leinster, which was to be the long - running home of England's "oppression" and create so much misery for the Gaelic Irish Septs / Family branches for nearly 800 years to come, was finally "finished."
St Audeon's Arch, (which was a part of St. Audoen's Church that was named after the Patron Saint of "Rouen" in France), was constructed further down the hill from the church itself, and is now the only surviving gate of the City of Dublin's original "walls" constructed to keep the Gaelic Irish Septs out of Dublin.
William de Valance the
Anglo - Norman Marcher Baron
constructed a castle at
Ferns in
Co. Wexford
in the south - east
of Southern Leinster, which was the former capital
settlement there, developed on the
dun
/ fort of the
Kings of
Leinster as it had been
previously destroyed by
*115.Rory O Connor
the last
183rd King of Ireland
and his kinsman the "äged"ally,
113.Tiernan O
Rourke the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Briuin
Breifne KIng when
they had initially came up against
113.Diarmait Mac
Murrogh na Gall
- of the Foreigners the
59th King of Leinster
who had sold out his
Country
and been from the
Heremonian Cu Corb
Ui Cheinnselaig Sept
there).
Geoffrey de Marisco another of the
Anglo - Norman Marcher Barons
founded the Church of the Knight
Hospitallers at
Hospital
in Co.
Limerick in the mid - north - west of the
Munster Province, the
Poul na Raha Priory of the
"Austin

1216 AD 111.Donough Cairbreach O Brian the Heberian Dal gCais King of Northern Munster / Thomond who had his territory in Co. Clare in the north - west of the Munster Province, was now also the English appointed Lord of Thomond, so he moved his stronghold to the town of Ennis were he was constructing the Ennis Abbey, as although the Heberian Ui Bloid Ui Turlough Ui mBriain O Brians had always had their stronghold fortress at Killaloe he had allowed the English Galls to build one there also. His father, 110.Donnel Mor O Brian before him had previously also relied on the City of Limerick as his stronghold, and this was a further sign that he personally was now becoming more and more disconnected from his Gaelic Irish Heberian Dal gCais heritage. (The Dalcassian Septs were now well and truly feeling the "pressure" from the English Gall advances into their original Dal gCais kingdom and territory, and the ongoing construction of their new "stone castles" that were being built against them.
