201 - 300 AD 

225 AD *58.Lewy mac con the Cetic Gaelic Ithian 113th King of Tara / Ireland was to be deposed this year, and was killed soon after by *Fergus / Feircis Dubh - Dheadach, a son of Imchad / Coman Eces, who would become the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Fiatach114th King of Tara / Erinn.

     Among the Septs in the Ulster Province during this time still were the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Conaire Dal Riada - riata Sept who had territory in the north - east of Co. Antrim, and the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Fiatach Sept who were below them, with the Irian Dal nAraidi below them, the Dumnonii Sept were still in the Connacht Province, and the main aristocratic warrior Heberian Cianachta Sept were on the east - coast in Co. Dublin and Co. Meath in the east of the Leinster Province. The Menapii Sept and the Coriondi Sept were further down on the east - coast in Southern Leinster and the Auteini Sept were in Co. Clare in the north - west of the Munster Province, which was then geographically still part of Southern Connacht. The Gangani Sept were on the eastern side of the River Shannon in the north of Co. Limerick in the mid - north - west of Munster and the Usdiae Sept were in the centre in Southern Leinster. The Gaelic Brigantes were in Co. Waterford in the south - east of Munster and the Velabri Sept were below Limerick in the mid - north - west of Munster, while the Iverni Sept were in Co. Cork in Southern Munster and the Erainn Septs above them across Southern Munster.

    Previously in 131 - 116 BC, *75.Eochy / Eochaidh Aireamh - the Ploughman was the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 94th King of Tara / Erinn who had built his own personal palace at Fream Hainn (The Hill of Frewin) in Port Lomard in Co. Westmeath in the south - west of Northern Leinster to be eventually independent of Tara in Co. Meath in Northern Leinster for his own family, as under the Brehon Law Tara was always given over to the present reigning King of Tara / Erinn. The territory there at Fream Hainn at that time had actually belonged to the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Feara Cul Sept of Tethbae there in the west of Midhe / Meath, who had not been asked to make use of the land there although they had been involved in building it originally, and Mormael their King was so upset that at the next Feast of Samhain in November he was to kill *75.Eochy Aireamh the 94th King of Tara / Erinn and was then able to escape from the scene undetected. The Feara Cul Sept then tried to blame his death on Siogmall from the Tuatha de Danann Sept from the Sidh Neannta in Co. Roscommon in the east of the Connacht Province whose territory was further to the west across the other side of the River Shannon, but the participation of the Feara Cul Sept in the crime was eventually discovered, and they had then all panicked and fled to the west themselves crossing over the River Shannon into Connacht. Once there they had then settled in the territory on the border of Co. Galway and Co. Roscommon where they had by this period in time remained for over 300 years, but their situation there was now to change and they would once again cross the River Shannon back over to the east and return to Midhe / Meath through the intercession of *85.Cormac mac Airt who would become the new heir apparent / Tanaiste to the Kingship of Tara / Ireland.

225 - 226 AD *Fergus Dubh Deadach - of the Black Tooth was to become the new Gaelic MilesianHeremonian Dal Fiatach 114th King of Tara / Ireland, who was a son of Imchad, but he would only rule for one year as he was to be killed in the Battle of Crinna in the Midlands in Co. Meath in the south - east of Northern Leinster by Lewy Lagha, who was now standing up for the rights of the new Heremonian Dal Cuinn Tanaiste / heir - apparent, *85.Cormac mac Airt, the son of *81.Art - the Lonely the previous 112th King of Tara / Ireland. While under attack the Dal Fiatach warriors fled to the north across the territory of Breagh in the east of the Midlands while in retreat, and during the conflict 2 of the brothers of *Fergus Dubh Deadach were also killed, namely, Fergus - of the Long Hair and Fergus - the Fiery also known as Caisfhiaclach - of the Crooked Teeth. 86.Teague mac Cian, a son of 85.Cian one of the surviving sons of 84.Ailill Oluimm the Heberian 1st King of Munster along with Lewy Lagha took *85.Cormac mac Airt's part also on this occasion and as a reward for his personal support, 86.Teague mac Cian was to receive the territory at Magh Breagh (The Plain of Breagh) in Co. Meath for his Heberian Cianachta aristocratic warrior Sept from *85.Cormac mac Airt. (This was a large coastal territory extending from the River Liffey in Co. Dublin in the north - east of Southern Leinster northwards to Drumskin in Co. Louth in the north - east of Northern Leinster.    

226 - 266 AD *85.Cormac mac Airt was to be the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn 115th King of Tara / Ireland, who was the son of *81.Art - the Lonely the previous 112th King of Tara / Ireland, the son of *83.Conn - of the Hundred Battles the 110th King of Tara / Ireland who is the the direct male line ancestor of all of the Dal Cuinn Septs and he was to then appoint Nia his half - brother to be the King of Connacht. (*85.Cormac mac Airt would eventually have the the first water mill in Ireland constructed, and was to set up a colony in Alba / Scotland that would one day also be the territory and kingdom of Argyle (The Land of the Gael) initially for the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Conaire Dal Riada Sept and later in the early 6th Century AD for their kinsmen the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill Sept both of whom whose descendants would be known generically there as the Scottii / Irishmen on account of being descended from Queen Scotia.

      Another matter relevant to this period in time involving the future prospects of *85.Cormac mac Airt involved Teague / Tadhg the Druid who was to oppose the marriage of 82.Coole / Cumhal a Heremonian Prince / Tannist from the Ui Laoghaire Ui Lughaidh Sept descended from *80.Nuadhas Neacht the Heremonian 96th King of Tara / Erinn to his daughter, Murna / Morna. 82.Coole took the initiative and abducted her instead, and because of this, Teague was able to persuade *85.Cormac mac Airt to go after him, and a struggle then occurred between 2 of the Heremonian Clanns, the Clann Mhorna and the Clann Baoisgne, who basically made up the Fianna / Fenian aristocratic warriors of Eirinn. Goll / Gaul  (named as such as he only had one good eye) mac Morna was the leader of the Clann Mhorna, from the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Sept, while 82.Coole / Cumhal was the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Ui Lughaidh leader of the Clann Baoisgne Sept, and they fought it out in the Battle of Knock - Cnucha (Castleknock) near Dublin in which 82.Coole was killed during the conflict. Those who had survived among the Clann Baoisgne were then pursued by the Clann Mhorna as they all scattered in fear of their lives. 92.Coole's wife, Murna / Morna was to later bear him a son who was to be originally named, 83.Deimne / Demna who had to be reared in the Slieve Bloom Mountains in secret by Bodmall, the Druidess, for fear that Goll mac Morna or the Clann Mhorna might hear of his whereabouts and kill him also, in case he would grow up and seek revenge later on.

   In such surroundings 83.Deimne mac Coole was able to grow up to become an outstanding athlete in this high mountain region, and because of his fair looks also became known as 82.Deimne Fionn - of Fair Complexion, and in time found his way along the banks of the River Boyne where he came upon the pool of Segais (Fec's Pool) or the Shannon Pot. (It was then  believed to be the source of both the River Boyne and the River Shannon, into which the hazel nuts believed to contain the required elements of Truth and Wisdom fell, to be consumed by the fish there who are now known as the Salmon of Knowledge.) In the meantime another Fionn / Finegas who was a Druid and a Soothsayer had been living there for 7 years, while attempting to catch one of these salmon, as he had long ago heard of a prophesy that a man named Fionn would be successful in this endeavour and if so he would gain great knowledge, and because of his own name, he had personally begun the quest there. He offered the young 83.Deimne Fionn mac Coole the opportunity to assist him, who soon caught one of the salmon and gave it to Finegas who then had 83.Deimne boil it for him telling him not to eat any of it. 83.Deimne Fionn was to later inform him that while he was handling and cooking the salmon, a blister arose on the skin of the fish, so he had pressed it down with his thumb and it had scalded him and he had then immediately put his thumb in his mouth to ease the pain. The old man then asked him if he had any other name beside 83.Deimne and he told him Fionn so the old man then said, "You must be the one prophesized, so eat the whole of the salmon yourself and gain the knowledge prophesized." 83.Deimne Fionn later returned to the remaining surviving members of the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Ui Lughaidh Clann Baoisgne who were to become his followers, and in time he was to be the outstanding Fianna leader, known from then on as 83.Fionn mac Coole.

    *85.Cormac mac Airt, who was the only son of *84.Art Eanfhear - the Lonely the previously deceased 112th King of Tara / Ireland, had come out of exile in the Connacht Province as the heir apparent / Tanaiste of Tara / Ireland to begin to assume his rightful position under the Brehon Law as the King of Tara / Ireland. He had been personally involved in bringing about the original downfall of *58.Lewy mac con the Gaelic Ithian 113th King of Tara / Ireland who had by now been removed from the position. *85.Cormac mac Airt while he had been residing in Connacht had invited the peviously menioned Feara Cul Sept to act as his bodyguard, and return with him to Meath when he had made his challenge for the Kingship. As a reward for their support when he had become the Heremonian Dal Cuinn 115th King of Tara / Ireland he granted them new territory back in Midhe / Meath of their own to the north of Tara at Kells / Ceanannus Mor were they then became known as the Feara Cul Breagh - of Bregia in Co. Meath in the south - east of Northern Leinster.  

       *85.Cormac mac Airt the 115th King of Tara / Ireland was to create 83.Finn mac Coole / Fionn mac Cumhail, the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Ui Lughaidh Leinster Prince, the new leader of the Fianna Eirinn warriors / Fenians, who was the son of 82.Coole / Cumhal and Murna, the daughter of Teague / Tadhg the Druid. 83.Finn mac Coole would go on to become a legend throughout Gaelic Ireland and the Scottish Highlands by combining the Clanns into the one Fianna, fighting the Fomorians / Lochlannach all over Europe and gaining tribute from the Kings there. Of 83.Finn's sons. 84.Ossan / Oisin (Little Deer or Fawn) whose mother was Sadb, who was descended from a daughter of Bodb - of Red Complexion, was to become the most well known, especially in the Scottish Highlands, and 84.Fergus - of the Sweet Speech, because of his personal attributes, was to become the Fenians' bard, diplomat, and ambassador. (In Irish legend Fir Droirich the Black Druid was to put a spell on the mother of 84.Ossan). Smirgat a Druidess also prophesied that if 83.Finn mac Coole drank from a horn he would die, so he always drank from a goblet or a bowl. 84.Caoilte / Kylta - the Thin Man was one of the Fenian aristocratic warriors who was a cousin to 84.Ossian and he could easily outrun him, while 84.Ossian's own son, 85.Oscar was to turn out to be the strongest and mightiest of all the Fenian warriors, although as a youth he was so clumsy that they at first refused to take him on their expeditions. Despite this one day he decided to follow them and when they came under attack and were on the verge of being defeated. 85.Oscar rushed forward and picked up a log of wood and joined in and turned the conflict back in their favour and was in from then on. During his first battle in combat he was to not only kill 3 Kings, but also his friend Linne, while he was still in a Celtic emotional rage of fury. He was later to be given a battalion of his own to be known as "The Terrible Broom" who were then placed in the centre of each battle as they never retreated even a foot. Other Fenian warriors were 83.Diarmait Ua Duibhne / Ui Dyna who was greatly admired and who was 83.Finn mac Coole's cousin, while another was Conan Maol who was old, bald, irritable, vain, a braggart and foul - mouthed, but a great warrior to have on your side when any trouble began, and another was Credne who was a female warrior. Later on 83.Finn mac Coole was able to even convince his father's slayer, Goll mac Morna to join in with him and combine the 2 Heremonian Clanns into the one band of Fianna to protect Ireland against the invaders / Lochlannach. Despite this Goll was to eventually kill another of 83.Finn's sons, 84.Cyril / Cairell, and when his grandson, 85.Oscar tried to heal the rift between him and 83.Finn mac Coole over this, Goll misunderstood and threw a spear at 85.Oscar, and then took off, but was to be finally trapped by 83.Finn's men, and was to die after 12 days from a lack of sustenance. 83.Finn mac Coole personally had 2 outstanding hounds named, Bran and Sgeolan, who could kill any pig that trod dry land. (84.Ossian was married to Eibhir the daughter of Iunsa.) *85.Cormac mac Airt strengthened the Fianna Eireann to ensure peace throughout Ireland, for which he was renowned, especially when led by 83.Finn mac Coole who had 3,000 warriors in each group under their own commander, while 83.Finn mac Coole, had his fortress on the Hill of Allen in Co. Kildare in Southern Leinster.

      
232 AD 88.Aengus / Oengus Tireach, was born this year, who was a son of 87. Fear Corb - of the Chariots the Heberian King of Northern Munster / Thomond / Tuadh Mumhan, who was a son of 86.Mogh Corb who had been the previous King of Tuadh Mumhan / Thomond / Northern Munster, a son of 85.Cormac Cass - of the Curly Hair the Heberian 2nd King of Munster and 1st King of Northern Munster, a son of 84.Ailill Oluimm the 1st King of Munster descended from *37 Eber Fionn.

234 AD 84.Ailill Oluimm the Heberian 1st King of Munster, died, who had been the son of 83.Mogha Nuadhat the previous King of Southern Ireland / Mogha's Half (Southern Leinster and Munster Province), who was to be the male line ancestor of all the Dal gCais, the Cerdraige, the Cianachta and the Eoghanachta Septs in Munster as he had been the father of 85.Eoghan Mor (Eoghanachta), 85.Cormac Cass (Dal gCais) and 85.Cian (Cianachta) who were all to leave the most important Gaelic  Milesian Heberian Clanns in Munster.

      89.Lewy / Lughaidh Mean / Men - of the Irish Sea was born this year ? whose mother was from the Heremonian Deis Bec Sept, and was a son of  88.Aengus Tirech the future Heberian King of Tuadh Mumhan / Munster descended from 85.Cormac Cass - of the Curly Hair the Heberian 2nd King of Munster and 1st King of Tuadh Mumhan / Thomond / Northern Munster, a son of 84.Ailill Oluimm the 1st King of Munster descended from *37 Eber Fionn. (Heberians.) 

 236 AD The Battle of Eu occurred this year at Magh Ai in the Connacht Province against Aed, the son of Eochy / Eochaidh, the son of Conall, who was the King of Connacht.

240 AD The Battle of Magh Techt occurred when *85.Cormac mac Airt the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn 115th King of Tara / Ireland took a fleet of ships across Magh Rein / Irish Sea and gained sovereignty once again over Alba / Scottish Highlands.

241 AD *85.Cormac mac Airt the 115th Heremonian King of Tara / Ireland besieged the Munster Province in the following conflicts, the Battle of Ard Cam, the Battle of Loch Lein, the Battle of Luimneach (Limerick), the Battle of Grian, the Battle of Classach and the Battle of Muiresc. In the Battle of Fearta, 85.Eochy / Eochaidh Taebhfada - of the Long Side, another of the sons of 84.Ailill Oluimm the 1st King of Munster was killed, as was his other son, 85.Cian in the Battle of Samhain who was to become the direct male line ancestor of the Cianachta aristocratic warrior Septs throughout Ireland through his own son, 86.Teague mac Cian.

    A terrible massacre also took place at Clean Fearta at Tara in Midhe / Meath in the south - east of Northern Leinster that was carried out by 94.Dunlaing the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Ui Lughaidh Cu Corb Prince / Tanaiste of Leinster who is the direct male line ancestor of all of the Cu Corb Ui Dunlainge Septs, including the Ui Dunchada, the Ui Faelan and the Ui Muireadhaigh Kings of Leinster, who was a son of 93.Enna Niadh, a Cu Corb King of Leinster. 30 young girls of the aristocratic warrior Gaelic Milesian line, along with a hundred maids with each of them, were slain, and because of this grievous disgusting outrage *85.Cormac mac Airt, the 115th King of Tara / Ireland, put to death 12 of the Cu Corb Leinster Princes. He also increased the borumha / tribute on Southern Leinster that had been originally imposed by his ancestor, *81.Toole / Tuathal Teachtmhar the previous 106th King of Tara / Ireland in the 1^st Century AD against Southern Leinster for  the death of his own two daughters, due to the avarice and stupidity of the then King of Leinster. The original tribute along with the increased tribute was to be collected for 40 years and was to continue to be a great bone of contention, creating continual turmoil between the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn Kings of Tara / Ireland and the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Ui Lughaidh Cu Corb Septs in Southern Leinster.

259 AD *85.Cormac mac Airt the 115th King of Tara / Ireland became a Christian and forbade the Druids to worship the Celtic gods and was to eventually suffer for it when Maelcon the Druid was to curse him for pushing forward Christianity.

 262 AD The Battle of Crionna Fregabhail occurred between *85.Cormac mac Airt the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn 115th King of Tara / Ireland and Angus / Oenghus Finn, the son of *Fergus / Fearghus Dubh Deadach - of the Black Tooth, the previous Dal Fiatach Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 114th King of Tara / Ireland, in which the men of Ulidia in the Ulster Province were defeated.*85.Cormac mac Airt the 115th King of Tara / Erinn had also established a colony to the north - west of Buite in the Highlands of Scotland that would be utilised later on by the Sept of Dal Riada in Co. Antrim in the Ulster Province to extend their territory there.

     ? 83.Finn mac Coole in his old age asked *85.Cormac mac Airt for permission to marry his young daughter, 86.Grace / Grainne / Grannia and as it was consented to he attended a feis (festival) at Tara with a band of his picked Fianna Warriors, but 86.Grainne instead took a liking to Diarmait O Dyna / Ua Duibhne, and she made up a drugged concoction for all to drink, except for Diarmait, and under its effect they all soon fell asleep, except Diarmait. 86.Grainne then went to Diarmait and put it to him to take her away from Tara and also from any chance of marrying the aged 83.Finn mac Coole, and although he was inclined to do so Diarmait told her that he dare not in any way upset 83.Finn mac Coole, but she informed him that she had put a geasa on him to do what she wanted. When all of the other members of the Fianna awoke Diarmait went round them all and told them what had transpired, including 83.Finn mac Coole himself, keeping back who it was that was personally involved from 83.Finn mac Coole, and in doing so asked them all what he should do. All agreed that he could not break a geasa put upon him by a woman, and that night he took 86.Grainne and left Tara going to the ford at Athlone and crossed over the River Shannon into the Wood of the Two Tents in the Connacht Province where he built a dwelling with 7 openings. 83.Finn mac Coole was naturally in a rage when he found out what had occurred and sent the Clann Neamhuain / Navin to find them who reported back to 83.Finn, while the other members of the Fianna who were in sympathy with Diarmait tried to warn him, but he would not flee, and 83.Finn himself came to the campsite and posted men around it. While Diarmait held their attention, 84.Grainne escaped into the night, and Diarmait at first went to one of the openings were he came up against 84.Ossian and his son, 85.Oscar with the Clann Baoisgne who were 83.Finn's son and grandson who nevertheless offered him their protection instead, and then 84.Caoilte and the Clann Ronan who did the same who said they too would protect him, as did Conan and the Clann Mhorna. He then came upon Cuan with the Fenians from the Munster Province, which was Diarmait's own Province, and then the Fenians from the Ulster Province who also offered him protection, but the Clann Neamhuain were against him and there was also 83.Finn himself to deal with at the next opening who then had his supporters attack Diarmait, who was still able to escape and seek out 86.Grainne. Diarmait charged through their ranks and outrun them and never stopped running until he came across 86.Grainne. From then on they did not stay in the one place for too long, but despite this 83.Finn was to find their campsite again and again, wherever it was, but Diarmait continued to defeat all those who were sent against him. The pair eventually settled under a Mountain Ash tree that was guarded by Sharvan who was a surly Fomorian who nevertheless allowed them to stay, provided they did not eat the berries, which 86.Grainne did want to, so Diarmait beseeched Sharvan to allow him to pick some for her, but he refused, and they came into conflict and Sharvan was killed. 83.Finn mac Coole was advised of what had occurred and where they were and he went after Diarmait again who had now set up in the hut the Fomorian had in the tree, but  86.Grainne was gone. Seeing them approaching Diarmait jumped down from the tree and outrun them again. Eventually the Fenians convinced 83.Finn mac Coole to allow them both to return in peace, but he really never forgave Diarmait and overtime he eventually encouraged him to go and hunt down the wild boar of Benn Gulban / Ben Bulben in Co. Sligo in the Connacht Province who he successfully killed. 83.Finn then told him to measure out the size of its skin in his bare feet and when he did this he then had him measure it the other way going against the bristles, and one of them pierced his foot, which became infected and he eventually died from the wound. There are many Diarmait and Grainne's Beds recorded throughout Ireland on the sites where they stayed to escape the fury of 83.Finn mac Coole and all of Diarmait's friends never forgave 83.Finn mac Coole for causing his death. The Clann Mhorna and 83.Finn mac Coole and the Clann Baoisgne began to become rivals again and the Fenians and the future Heremonian Kings were to become involved in personal quarrels, which would in 284 AD culminate in the Battle of Gabhna / Gavra, which would bring about their end.

265 AD 86.Kelly / Ceallach, the son of *85.Cormac mac Airt the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn 115th King of Tara / Ireland, who acted as his father's lawgiver, was killed by 84.Angus / Eaenas Gaibhuaibhtheach, who was the Tanaiste / Prince and the Champion of the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Deisi / Dessi (Vassal) Sept in Brega in Meath in Northern Leinster. He was a son of 83.Fiacha Suighdhe, another son of *82.Felim Reachtmhar - the Lawgiver who had been the previous 108th King of Tara / Ireland and the direct male line ancestor of the Heremonian Ui Felim Sept. 84.Angus who was out of sorts over his Sept being excluded from the Kingship of Ireland waged rebellion against *85.Cormac mac Airt after a dispute arose when 86.Kelly had absconded with his niece without his consent, and during the ensuing conflicts *85.Cormac mac Airt was to lose the sight in one of his eyes when 86.Kelly also thrust a lance into his eye. Despite this horrific injury, *85.Cormac mac Airt later defeated his kinsmen the Heremonian Ui Felim Deisi Sept in 7 battles and expelled them from their territory in  in Deisi Brega in Co. Meath down into Southern Leinster. Eventually they were to settle in Co. Waterford in the south - east of the Munster Province claiming equal freedom with the Heberian Septs in Munster after 84.Ailioll Oluimm the Heberian 1st King of Munster gave them territory there from the River Suir southward to the sea, and from Lismore to Creadan Head / Cean Criodain taking in most of Co. Waterford, which they called Deise / Nandesi / Deisi to distance it from their original territory in Deise in Co. Meath. (*82.Felim Reachtmar as well, was *85.Cormac's direct male line ancestor also, as he was his great - grandfather. *83.Conn - of the Hundred Battles the 110th King of Tara / Ireland.) The Heremonian Deise / Desies territory in East Mumha / Urmhumha, was to be the greater part of Co. Waterford and part of Co. Tipperary, named after the Deisigh / Dessi Sept emanating from 83.Fiacha Suighdhe who was actually a brother of *83.Conn - of the Hundred Battles, Previously in Midhe / Meath their large territory there was known as Deise Teamrach (The Deise of Tara), because it was situated near Tara in Co. Meath, and the 2 Baronies there are still known as Deice.  

 266 AD *85.Cormac mac Airt the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn 115th King of Tara / Ireland after such a serious personal injury, under the Celtic Brehon Law had to stand down as the King of Tara / Ireland and he retired to Kells / Ceanannus Mor (The Great Head Fort) in Co. Meath in the south - east of Northern Leinster, which had been an aristocratic Royal Residence for many Centuries. While there he was to choke to death at Cleiteach on a salmon bone after many verbal attacks / siabhradh genii had been carried out against him by the Druid, Mael Genn / Maelcon for pushing forward Christianity. (He had been the wisest, the most learned, and the most outstanding, of any of the Celtic Gaelic Milesian Kings before him.) He had 1150 people attending him daily at the Great Hall of Tara that was 300' long, and had instituted the Saltair of Teamhair / Book of Tara to record the history and the genealogy of all the Irish Families. He had decreed that there be 10 people in constant attendance to him and the future Kings of Ireland. A nobleman as a companion, a judge, a historian to declare and preserve the genealogies, acts, and occurrences of the aristocratic warrior nobility and the gentry, a Druid to offer sacrifice and foreshadow the will of God or bad omens, a poet to praise or dispraise everyone, a physician, a musician, and 3 stewards. *85.Cormac mac Airt had written a book of laws Teagasc Ri proposing the manner in which future Kings of Ireland should behave and also founded 3 University Schools at Tara, one for Law, one for History and Chronology and one for Military Science.

      56.Tadhg mac Cian, the Heberian Prince / Tanaiste, who was the son of 85.Cian, the son of 84.Ailill Oluimm the 1st King of Munster was killed by a deer on the River Boyne, and he and his father 85.Cian would become the direct male line ancestor of the many Cianachta aristocratic warrior Septs / Fines / Families throughout Ireland. 

 266 - 267 AD *Eochy Gonnat / Eochaidh Gunta was to be the Heremonian  116th King of Tara / Ireland until he was killed in battle by 89.Lewy / Lughaidh Meann / Men - of the Irish Sea who would later become the Heberian King of the Tuadh Mhumhain / Thomond / Northern Munster, and the ancestor of 91.Cas the direct male line ancestor of all of the Dal gCais Septs who were to have their own original territories in Northern Munster centered on Co. Clare in the north - west of the Munster Province.

267 - 284 AD *86.Cairbre Liffeachair - of the Liffey became the new Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn 117th King of Tara / Ireland, who was a son of *85.Cormac mac Airt the previous 115th King of Tara / Ireland, the son of *84.Art - the Lonely the 112th King of Tara / Ireland, the son of *83.Conn - of the Hundred Battles the previous 110th King of Tara / Ireland.

276 AD 84.Angus / Oenghus Gaibuaibhtheach from the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Deisi Sept was to be killed by *87.Fiacha Sraibhtine and 87.Eochy / Eochaidh Doimhlen 2 of the sons of *86.Cairbre Liffeachair the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn 117th King of Tara / Ireland, He also had another son known as 87.Eochy / Eochaidh.
