167 AD. 83.Mogha Nuadhat the Gaelic Milesian Heberian King of Mogha’s Half (Southern Ireland) was killed in a battle at Moylena after he had once again came into conflict with *80.Conn - of the Hundred Battles the Heremonian Ui Felim 110th King of Tara / Ireland basically over the shipping rights from within Mogha's Half near Atha Cliath (The Hurdle of the Ford) on the River Liffey south of Dublin / Dubh Linn (The Black Pool), which was the main port area in Southern Leinster as *80.Conn - of the Hundred Battles who was in desperation of gaining the upper hand had gone against the Celtic Irish Brehon Law and unlawfully attacked 83.Mogha Nuadhat and his Heberian warriors during the night, although Goll mac Morna, who was *80.Conn - of the Hundred Battles’ kinsman and ally, would not assist him because of this tenet of the Irish Brehon Law. The battle between *80.Conn - of the Hundred Battles' Heremonian warriors and 83.Mogha'Nuadhat's Heberian warriors was to rage all night until the dawn, when *80.Conn - of the Hundred Battles' forces were finding themselves in great difficulty, until the Sun came up and Goll mac Morna and his Heremonian warriors joined in also and both *83.Mogha Nuadhat and Fraech his brother - in - law were slain and the High Judges under the Irish Brehon Law took a dim view of *80.Conn - of the Hundred Battles' night time escapade and later forced him to pay a large fine for the death of 83.Mogha Nuadhat while attacking during the night, as he had to pay recompense by way of his own personal jewellery, his personal sword, his personal shield, 200 horses, chariots, ships, spears, swords, cattle and helots (slaves).
Despite this serious fall from grace *80.Conn - of the Hundred Battles the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Ui Felim 110th King of Tara / Ireland was now supreme in Ireland and was to give one of his daughters in marriage to his kinsman, Goll mac Morna who was from the Heremonian Clann Mhorna Sept in the Midlands / Midhe / Northern Leinster who were to be the leaders of the Heremonian Fianna Warriors of Ireland also descended from 59.Ugaine Mor - the Great who had been the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian 66th King of Tara / Erinn, and had previously led the King's Fianna Warriors for 32 years. Goll mac Mhorna was also unusual in Irish History as he had been born as a result of a Caesarean operation carried out by a Druid and he too would grow up to be the leader of the Fianna warriors in his own right for ten years during which time he was to kill 82.Coole / Cumhal from the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Ui Lughaidh Cu Corb Clann Baoisgne Sept who was also descended from 59.Ugaine Mor - the Great, as these two Heremonian Clanns were rivals for the leading position of the Fianna Warriors. 82.Coole was to be the father of the outstanding warrior 83.Finn mac Coole who was later to be the leader of the Southern Leinster Fianna Warriors himself for *82.Cormac mac Airt the future Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Ui Felim Dal Cuinn 115th King of Tara Ireland, who would be a grandson of *80.Conn - of the Hundred Battles. Goll mac Mhorna would later on make peace with 83.Finn mac Coole after he was to save 83.Finn mac Coole's life and also marry 83.Finn mac Coole's daughter. The Heremonian Fianna warriors were to be the aristocratic warrior elite and last for 330 years while serving the causes of the Heremonian Kings of Tara / Ireland until the time of 84.Oisin the famous Gaelic poet, who was a son of 83.Finn mac Coole. The Fianna Warriors were composed of foot soldiers / ceithearn / kerns who were aristocratic warriors of par excellence guaranteed by their individual Septs to perform at their very best at all times, while responsible for protecting and over seeing any problems in Erinn / Ireland, and were quartered by all of the various Irish Septs during the Festivals of Samhain to Beltaine, but were to keep themselves by hunting during other periods.
*80.Conn
- of the Hundred Battles also gave another of his daughters, 84.Sadbh, who was a widow, in marriage to 83.Mogha’s son 84.Ailill / Oilill Oluimm, and she had previously produced a son 58.Lewy / Lughaidh mac con to 57.mac Niadh the previous Gaelic King of the Ithian Septs descended from 35.Ithe and his son, 36.Lewy / Lughaidh the uncle and cousin of 36.Mil the father of the 3 original Gaelic Milesian brothers, 37.Eremon (Heremonians), 37. Eber Fionn - of Fair Complexion (Heberians) and 37.Ir. (Irians).The Gaelic aristocratic warrior Ithians, who later evolved into the aristocratic warrior Ithian Darinian Septs had their territory in Co. Cork in Southern Munster where there were also many Fir Bolg Septs still existing who they were to eventually absorb into their Gaelic Ithian culture. The birth of this previous older Gaelic Ithian son, 58.Lewy mac con to 81.Sadbh was to lead to enormous ramifications later on when prior arrangements between the Gaelic Milesian Heberian Septs and the Gaelic Ithian Septs were to come into play in the future in Southern Ireland.
*80.Conn - of the Hundred Battles, who was now in complete control as the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian 110th King of Tara / Ireland (without opposition) joined Southern Leinster in with the territory in the Midlands / Midhe / Meath / Northern Leinster doing away with the Midland Province altogether as an individual entity, thereby reducing the 5 previous Provinces to 4, and the Gaelic Milesian Heberian Sept's territories that were once in Mogha's Half now only consisted of the Munster Province, although the Heberians over the Centuries ahead would not accept this as a foregone conclusion. The aristocratic warrior Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Septs, the Gaelic Milesian Heberian Septs and the Gaelic Ithian Septs for the time being were all now well and truly interconnected in the new reduced southern kingdom of Munster where 83.Mogha Nuadhat's son 84.Ailill Oluimm married to 84.Sadbh the daughter of *83.Conn - of the Hundred Battles then became the Gaelic Milesian Heberian 1st King of Munster only, and 84.Sadbh the 1st Queen of Munster.
