396 - 385 BC. *66.Fergus Fortamhail became the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Ui Laoghaire 80th King of Tara / Erinn who was a son of 65.Breasal Breoghamhain.

390 BC The Celtic Gauls who had come from the trans - Alpine region and through the Central Alpine pass from Switzerland and Southern Germany into the north of Italy, sacked Rome and settled in the Upper Po Valley, and they were also able to overthrew the Etruscans whose civilisation was on its way out and the Celts were still in an alliance with the Greeks with whom they traded.) First to arrive where the Celtic Insubres who set up at Mediolanum / Milan, and after them came 4 more Celtic Septs who settled into Lombardy, while the Celtic Boii Sept and the Celtic Lingones Sept who came later on settlied into Emilia, and the Celtic Senones Sept settled along the Adriatic coast in Umbria. All of these Celts brought their Families and their possessions with them, and some of their warrior bands were to then raid the south reaching Apulia and Sicily who the Romans called the Galli / Gallic Cis and among these were the Celtic Gacsati / Spearmen from France in Gaul who had been under Brennus, who were the ones who had raided and burnt Rome, and captured it and settled there south of the River Po, and it would be from these Celts later on from whom the Celtic Laigin / Spear People would evolve, and eventually settle mainly in the Leinster Province in Erinn / Ireland.

       In the future in Christian times the Irish monks were all to be kinsmen who were to be connected originally to each of their Tuaths / Family regions in their respective territories, just as they would in the same traditions after the influence of the Christian Catholic / Universal faith came to the Irish Celtic Families and this strong individual Family branch connection to their territory and to the monasteries of their individual Septs, in their own respective territories, after the Teutonic Scandinavian Anglo - Norman Invasion in the 12th Century AD, was one thing that the greedy individulatic Anglo - Norman English would not be able to grasp in their minds. This was especially to be so when the English were to try to confiscate all of the Irish territories and dissolve the Celtic Irish Catholic Church and take over their land especially in the 16th Century AD. Because of this strong connection, Henry V111 at first, and later on his young son who was influenced by his Seymour mentors, could not comprehend this, and especially his illegitimate daughter, Elizabeth 1st, who on her own was to create 6 rebellions in Ireland due to her continual ongoing ethnic and religious oppression. As their prior Celtic Irish religion was the exclusive right of the Druids (priests) they had always taught them that their souls were immortal and after death they passed on from one body to another, and this always gave the Celts their great courage as they had no fear of death. The Druids of Ireland were originally set up at Uisnech in the south - west of the Midlands / Midhe / Meath in Northern Leinster and also at Tara in the south - east until the advent of Christianity, where they all had their own attendants and were held in great respect. In the future the Celtic Catholic Irish monks from each of the individual Tuaths / Family regions were to inherit this long traditional connection to their Septs, that even then they still individually represented. Their Genealogy had great meaning for them, as tracing all the Celtic Clanns of Ireland back to 12.Magog, in the Christian era, and therefore to 1.Adam, meant that there was proof of their long time connection to their territories, which was the main holding right to their individual Tuaths / Family regions with each Tuath usually occupied approximately 400 square miles or 20 miles x 20 miles as it was the Ollamh’s duty to regularly visit all of the Tuathas / Family regions and their individual Septs, and place the information gained in the Kings Book / The Saltair of Tara, while each of the Chiefs of the individual Tuathas also retained their own Sheanchaidhe who were their own particular Sept's historians for this purpose, and these records were then to be checked against the records in the Saltair of Tara during the 3 year Assemblies.

326 - 320 BC. Conall Collamhrach became the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian 82nd King of Tara / Erinn descended from *37.Eremon.. 

325 BC - 323 BC During this period in time the Greeks called both the islands of Ireland and Albion / Briton, the Pretanic Islands, while the term Priteni was the Celtic name given to the Scythian Gaelic Pictish Septs, but later on Caesar was to know them as the Prydain (Welsh) Brittani.

320 - 313  BC. *70.Niadh Seaghaiman became the Celtic Gaelic Milesian Heberian 83rd King of Tara / Erinn, who was the son of *69.Adhamhra / Adhamair Foltchaoin the previous 78th King of Tara / Erinn, descended from *37.Eber Fionn, who was to rule for 7 years, until he too was slain by his successor. (In his time the wild deer were usually driven home with the cows and also milked every day.)

300 BC 67.Fiachaidh Fear Mara who was a Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh King introduced the Fianna Eirinn / Fenian warriors, who were both male and female, to endeavour to protect Erinn / Ireland against any outside invaders, and they were to be composed of 3 regiments containing 3,000 aristocratic warriors in times of peace, which could also be increased in times of trouble and during the 6 months of Winter they would be quartered among the population of Ireland, but in the Summer they had to survive by personally hunting and fishing, while living in the woods and open fields to toughen them up. They had to be outstanding athletes, having to succeed at the most stringent tests as to their physical abilities, and were also well educated poets and warriors of culture, and they took an oath not to avenge any of their kin or be avenged by them, they were also never to refuse hospitality to anyone, never to turn their back during a battle, never to insult women, and if they were men they were not allowed to accept a dowry with their wives.
