119.Niall Mor
- the Greater
O Niall
the
Heremonian Dal Cuinn
"northern"
Ui Niaill Cenel nEogain King
of Tyrone also wrote and requested that Richard 11 act as a shield
between him
and the Anglo - Norman Baron Richard de Burgh / Burke who was now the English Earl of
Ulster. Many of the Gaelic
Irish Chiefs
stated that the past rebellions were mainly due to the individual actions of the
"greedy" Old English / Anglo - Norman
Barons, and included among these
was "The O Connor
Faly" the Heremonian Cu Corb Chief who
because of his proximity to
The English Pale
had personally felt the ongoing impact of this as his territory was in
Co. Offaly
in the north west of
Southern Leinster.

December: O Carroll the Heberian Cianacht King of Ely who had his territory in the north - east of the Munster Province and nearby Co. Offaly also visited England and accompanied Richard 11, the Anglo - Norman English King to Calais in France, and it was crucial now that the Anglo - Norman Barons Gerald Fitz Gerald the third English Earl of Desmond / Southern Munster, and James Butler the third English Earl of Ormonde in Co. Kilkenny in Southern Leinster should play their part in the scheme of things, but instead they only took this opportunity once again to bolster their own individual greedy positions at the expense of the Gaelic Irish Chiefs and a great opportunity was now to be lost for the overall benefit of everyone in Ireland.
Edmund Mortimer the English Earl of March, who Richard 11 the Anglo-
Norman English King had appointed English Viceroy
in Ireland for some reason only known to him,
took the opportunity also because of the position of overalll power he held to besiege Co. Longford in the north - west of
Northern Leinster were he defeated the
defending
Gaelic Milesian
Irian O Farrells / O Ferrells
there, and he also
attacked the
O Reillys' territory nearby in Co. Cavan
in
Southern Ulster
who were the Heremonian Dal Cuinn
Ui Briuin Breifne Kings
of East Breifne. He then also attacked
119.Niall Mor
- the Greater
O Niaill
the
Heremonian Dal Cuinn "northern"
Ui Niaill Cenel nEogain King
of Ulster, and was accompanied on this
expedition by James Butler the Anglo - Norman Baron who was the third English Earl of Ormonde,
and Gerald Fitz Gerald
the third English Earl of Kildare along with many other Norman English
Barons and slowly rebellion in
Ireland was to return, being stirred on once again by the English
Gall's personal ambitions and greedn and their individual opportunism.
1397 AD
Due to the previous actions of the Anglo - Norman Barons, rebellion was now
once again the order of the day
throughout Ireland, especially in Southern Leinster,
which was in an outright state of war, but Richard 11 the
Anglo - Norman English King had
to cancel a further expedition to Ireland
to try and sought out their problems,

July: The "ferocious" Heremonian Cu Corb O Byrnes and O Tooles, who were the Heremonian Cu Corb Ui Dunlainge Chiefs in Co. Wicklow in the south - east of Southern Leinster, now go on the attack against the English Galls with a fury, and manage to kill the instigator of all the recent troubles in Ireland, in Edmund Mortimer - the Younger the English Earl of March, who was the English Viceroy / Lord Lieutenant in Ireland for Richard 11 the Anglo - Norman King of England with the battle occurring at Kellistown / Callan in Co. Kilkenny / Ossory in thesouth - west of Southern Leinster, and because of this and his lack of insight to what had recently occurred Richard 11 swears all out revenge against the Gaelic Irish Septs and rebellion against the English then only spread further in Ireland.
