Cenel nEogain

Ulster Province with these
Kings as his hostages and feasted

The following
drastic changes now occurred in the
pedigrees
of the leading Irish Septs, and therefore the fortunes of 3
of the aristocratic
warrior
Milesian Gaelic Families, which were to also bring
about a great change in Irish history.
934 AD
104.Callaghan
/ Cellachan
Chaisil became
the Heberian Eoghanacht Chaisil
34th King of
Cashel /
Munster, who was a son of

of
Cashel / Munster,
one of the 2 sons of
90.Nad Froich the
2nd King of Cashel / Munster, one
of the 7 sons of 89.Conall
Corc (Chaisil). Due to the previous declining
fortunes of the
Eoghanacht Septs in the
Munster Province his full pedigree is most important for he was to become
very successful after 8
generations of no aristocratic warrior candidates from his male line to the
Cashel / Munster Kingship, and he was just what they needed at this time
as he became an outstanding
Eoghanacht King and the
aristocratic warrior ancestor of many of the modern Chaisil Families today, including the
Mac Carthys
and the O Callaghans / O Callahans.
Rebachan
mac Mothlai

/ Cinaed's son,
106.Kelly / Ceallach was to be the future

King
who would revive the fortunes of their aristocratic warrior Ui Cheinnselaig male line to eventually produce
110.Diarmait
mac Mael na mBo - of the Many Cattle, who would become the
51st King
of Leinster just in time to produce the
infamous 113.Diarmait Mac Murrough na Gall who would then bring
on the Anglo -

King of Dublin and York, returned once again to

Albion / England, as this left
Dublin
open to attack by the Irish
Septs, and it became less
important as a Viking stronghold and he had previously also divided the
Viking forces, while attempting to gain the Overlordship of their other
Norse settlements along the coastline.
