Because of this dual kin slaying / fingal they were both to be driven out of Northern Leinster into Southern Leinster by *84.Art - the Lonely the Dal Cuinn Prince who would become the Gaelic Milesian 112th King of Ireland under the Brehon Law in his own right. From there, later on, the followers of his 2 uncles were to be further expelled by *84.Art's son, *85.Cormac mac Airt who would become the Gaelic Milesian 115th King of Ireland, and they would then migrate further south into territory in Co.

     The Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Fotharta Sept emanating from 83.Eochaid Find Fuath nAirtt would eventually have their territory in Co. Laois in the north - west of Southern Leinster and become a subject Sept to both of the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Ui Lughaidh Cu Corb Septs, first the Cu Corb Ui Dunlainge Sept and later the Cu Corb Ui Cheinnselaig Sept there, and their main Family Sept would become the O Nolans / O Nowlan of Fowerty / Foharta in Co. Leix / Co. Laois.

     The Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Deisi Sept emanating from 83.Fiachra Suighdhe would eventually settle in Co. Waterford in the south - east of Northern Munster, and in more modern times, would have as their main Family Septs, the O Bricks / Ui Bric of Dunbrick, the O Dolans, and the O Faelans / O Faolain of Dun Faelan near Cashel. The Heremonian Deisi Sept would also play a part as the maternal line for one of the main Heberian Dal gCais Kings Septs in Thomond / Northern Munster.           

166 AD. *84.Art Eanfhear / Aoinfhear - the Lonely became the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn 112th King of Ireland in his own right, as the son of *83.Conn - of the Hundred Battles the previous Gaelic Milesian 110th King of Ireland the direct male line ancestor of the Dal Cuinn (The People of *83.Conn) descended originally in Ireland from *37.Eremon the direct male line ancestor of all of the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Septs in Ireland. *84.Art was to become the direct male line ancestor of the Cenel Airt / Muintir Airt (The Kindred of *84.Art) and was married to Maeve / Maedhbh Leathderg the daughter of Conan / Conann Cualann after whom Rath Maeve near Tara was named.

 

195 AD. *84.Art - the Lonely the Gaelic Milesian 112th King of Ireland was to be killed in battle in the north - west of Ireland in Co. Galway in the south - west of the Connacht Province against the forces of his Gaelic Ithian nephew, *58.Lewy mac con who was descended initially in Ireland on the male line from 36.Lewy / Lughaidh, and his father 35.Ithe a brother to 36.Mil the direct male line ancestor of all of the Gaelic Milesians who is the father of *37.Eber Fionn (Heberians), *37.Eremon (Heremonians) and 37.Ir (Irians. 36.Lewy and 35.Ithe are the direct male line ancestors of the original aristocratic Gaelic Ithian Darinian aristocratic warriors in Southern Ireland mainly in Co. Cork.

       *58.Lewy mac con - the son of the Hound was the eldest son of *84.Art  - the Lonely the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Dal Cuinn 112th King of Ireland's previously widowed sister, 84.Sadhbh', and because the aristocratic warrior Gaelic Milesian Heberian Sept for a few generations previously had shared their Gaelic Kingship in Mogha's Half / Southern Ireland with the Gaelic Ithians, and as he was his father's only son, he had also wanted a turn at the newly created Gaelic Kingship of Munster. Due to the previous intervention of his maternal grandfather, *83.Conn - of the Hundred Battles a severe territorial change had occurred after *83,Conn - of the Hundred Battles the Gaelic Milesian 110th King of Ireland had removed Southern Leinster from Mogha's Half / Southern Ireland and joined it to his territory in Northern Leinster, leaving only those territories / counties that then made up the Munster Province, that were still subject to the Heberian Kings. (This was except for Co. Clare, which was then still geographically part of the future kingdom of Aidhne in Southern Connacht as it is situated on the western side of the River Shannon.) 84.Ailill Oluimm, who was *58.Lewy mac conn's step - father, was now the Heberian 1st King of Munster only, instead of all of the territory that was previously in Mogha's Half / Southern Ireland. (84.Ailill Oluimm had also been married to 84.Sadhbh, the widowed daughter of *83.Conn - of the Hundred Battles, to further combine the two Gaelic Septs / Family branches of the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Kings and the Gaelic Milesian Heberian Kings). 83.Mogha Nuadhat ,84.Ailill's father, during his time, had initially defeated *83.Conn - of the Hundred Battles and made him share the whole of Ireland with him and drove out any allies *83.Conn - of the Hundred Battles had in Mogha's Half, and Ireland had then became made up of both Conn's Half / Leith Cuinn taking in Northern Connacht and the Midlands / Midhe / Meath / Northern Leinster, and Mogha's Half / Leith Mogha / Southern Leinster and the Munster Province. Eventually *83.Conn - of the Hundred Battles was to kill 84.Mogha in battle in a dispute over the Dublin region in the north - east of Southern Leinster that *83.Conn - of the Hundred Battles wanted to use as a port who then laid claim to Southern Leinster also, for the Heremonian Septs, joining it to his territory in Meath / Midhe / Northern Leinster, separating it from out of Mogha's Half, creating the whole of what is now the Leinster Province. This left only the territories further to the south - west, which then became the separate kingdom of Munster.

     *84.Art - the Lonely as the Gaelic Milesian Dal Cuinn 112th King of Ireland had supported 84.Ailill Oluimm the Heberian 1st King of Munster, who was also his brother - in - law, and his 9 sons from his sister, 84.Sadhbh, of whom only 85.Cormac Cass - of the Curly Hair and 85.Cian were to eventually survive the conflict against *58.Lewy mac conn - the son of the Hound that was brought on by his continual insistence on being given a turn at the Kingship of Munster, until he had been exiled by 84.Ailill Oluimm, out of Ireland altogether. He had returned accompanied by Beinne Brit the King of Albion / Briton and his followers and had also been joined by 85.Lioghairne - of the Long Cheeks who was a son of 84.Angus Balbh, the son of 83.Eochy Finn Fuathairt the ancestor of the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Fotharta Septs, who actually was the one who was to kill *84.Art - the Lonely.  7 of the Heberian sons of 84.Ailill Oluimm and 84.Sadhbh were also to be killed in the battle that occurred in Co. Galway in the south of the Connacht Province including; 85.Eoghan Mor the eldest who would become the direct male line ancestor of all of the Heberian Eoghanachta Septs, 85.Dubh Merchon, 85.Mugh Corb, 85.Lewy / Lughaidh, 85.Eochy / Eochaidh, 85.Diochorb and 85.Teague / Tadhg. (Bienne Brit the King of Albion was also killed in the conflict by Lewy / Lughaidh Lagha). *58.Lewy mac con - the son of the Hound, after such a decisive victory and the demise of *84.Art - the Lonely, with his own personal maternal connection to *83.Conn - of the Hundred Battles, decided instead to become the Gaelic Ithian Darinian 113th King of Ireland in his own right, and left 84.Ailill Oluimm in as the Heberian 1st King of Munster. *58.Lewy mac con was to then rule Ireland for 27 years until he was to be eventually driven out at the instigation of *84.Art's young son, *85.Cormac Ulfhada - of the Long Beard / the Magnificent who was to later establish a new Royal seat at Tara / Teamhair for himself as *85.Cormac mac Airt the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn Cenel Airt 115th King of Tara / Ireland whose mother was Eachtach the daughter of Ulcheatach a Druid.

226 AD. *85.Fergus / Fearghus Dubh Deadach - of the Black Tooth, a son of 84.Imchad became the new Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Fiatach 114th King of Ireland who was descended also originally in Ireland from *37.Eremon the ancestor of all of the Heremonian Septs, but his rule was to only last for one year as he was killed in the Battle of Crinna this year in the Midlands / Midhe in Breagh in Co. Meath in the south - east of Northern Leinster also by Lewy / Lughaidh Lagha who was by then standing up for *85.Cormac mac Airt as the overall Heremonian heir - apparent / Tanaiste. As his remaining Heremonian Dal Fiatach warriors fled to the north - east across Breagh in retreat, *85.Fergus' two brothers were also killed, 85.Fergus - of the Long Hair and 85.Fergus Caisfhiaclach - of the Crooked Teeth / the Fiery. 86.Teague / Tadhg mac Cian, who was a son of 85.Keen / Cian the ancestor of the Cianachta, and therefore a grandson of 84.Ailill Oluimm the 1st King of Munster. together with Lewy Lagha, had taken *85.Cormac mac Airt's part on this occasion. 86.Teague mac Cian as a reward received the territory at Magh Breagh for his Heberian Cianachta Sept from the grateful *85.Cormac mac Airt, which was a large coastal region 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). He had been hoping to take in Tara also but was outwitted by *85.Cormac mac Airt. (For he who held Tara held Ireland.)

 

240 AD The Battle of Magh Techt occurred this year and *85.Cormac mac Airt Ulfhada - of the Long Beard who was now the Gaelic Milesian 115th King of Ireland took a fleet of ships across Magh Rein - the Sea and also re - gained sovereignty over Alba / Scottish Highlands. *85.Cormac mac Airt was married to 95.Eithne Ollamhdha the daughter of 94.Dowling / Dunlaing the Tanaiste / Prince of Leinster a son of 93.Eana Niadh a son of 92.Bressal Belach the 1st Cu Corb King of Leinster whose grandfather had been 90.Cathair Mor the Gaelic Milesian 109th King of Ireland. 95.Eithne had been fostered by Buiciodh Brighach in Leinster. *85.Cormac mac Airt also had 3 older half - brothers, Artghen, Boindia and Bonnrigh.

 

241 AD *85.Cormac mac Airt as the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn 115th King of Ireland laid siege to 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 to extend his overall authority in Ireland. In the Battle of Fearta, 85.Eochy / Eochaidh Taebhfada - of the Long Side another son of 84.Ailill Oluimm the Heberian 1st King of Munster was also killed, this year, as was 85.Keen / Cian another of his sons, in the Battle of Samhain, who is the direct male line ancestor of all of the Heberian Cianachta Septs all over Ireland.

      At this time a terrible massacre also took place at Clean Fearta at Tara in the south - east of Northern Leinster carried out by 94.Dunlaing the previously mentioned Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Ui Lughaidh Cu Corb Prince / Tanaiste, who is the direct male line ancestor of all of the Ui Dunlainge Septs, who was the son of 93.Enda / Enna Niadh, a King of Leinster, and  30 young girls from the aristocratic warrior lines, along with a hundred maids with each of them, were slain and because of this terrible crime *85.Cormac mac Airt the Gaelic Milesian 115th King of Ireland put to death 12 of the Leinster Princes. He also increased the borumha (tribute) on Southern Leinster, that had been originally imposed by his Heremonian ancestor, *78.Toole / Tuathal Teachtmharwho had been the Gaelic Milesian 106th King of Ireland in the 1st Century AD, against Southern Leinster for  the death of his own two daughters at that time, due to the avarice and stupidity of Aonghus Ainchille who was then the Heremonian King of Leinster. The tribute was to be collected for 40 years and was to create continuing turmoil between the Gaelic Kings of Tara, Southern Leinster, and the Heberian Kings in the Munster Province, who attempted to continue to retain over lordship in all of Mogha's Half, including Southern Leinster by at times trying to pay the tribute on their behalf.

 

259 AD *85.Cormac mac Airt - the Magnificent the Gaelic Milesian 115th King of Tara / Ireland became a Christian believing in One True God and no idol worship, and was then the first Christian King of Ireland, and he forbade the Druids to worship the Celtic gods, and because of this decree he would be made to suffer for it.

 

262 AD.

Despite this serious injury *85.Cormac mac Airt later defeated the Deisi Sept in 7 battles and expelled them from their territory in Leinster and they were to eventually migrate down into Co. Waterford in the north - east of the Munster Province. They also crossed the sea into Wales for a time seeking their own territory there from where they were driven off by a contingent of the Celtic Fir Bolg tribes from Hadrian's Wall, who had been sent down to there by the Romans to carry this out, who then became the basis for the Welsh aristocratic warrior lines there. On returning to Ireland the Heremonian Deisi Septs eventually assimilated with the Heberians becoming a maternal basis for the In Deis Tuaiscirt descending from 85.Cormac Cass - of the Curly Hair the ancestor of 91.Cas the direct ancestor of the Dal gCais / Dalcassian (People of 91.Cas) Septs in Co. Clare in the north - west of the Munster Province.

He had decreed that there were to be 10 particular people in constant attendance to him and the future Gaelic Kings of Ireland. A nobleman as a companion, a judge / Brehon, a historian to declare and preserve the genealogies, acts, and occurrences of the 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. Besides his 6 sons he had, also had 10 daughters two of which 86.Ailbhe, and 86.Grace / Grainne would eventually become the wives at different times of 83.Finn Mac Coole the leader of the Fianna Eireann / Warriors of Erin. *85.Cormac mac Art left instructions that he was not to be interred at Brugh na Boyne like the previous Pagan Kings, but at Ros na Ri near Slaine in Co.
