Eoghanachta of Munster - 06.
963 AD. Due to the demise of 104.Kennedy and his 2 older sons it was then up to his oldest surviving son, 105.Mahon / Mathgamain (bear) to become the new King of Tuadh Muman / Thomond / Northern Munster and to finalize his father’s dream and become the first of the Heberian Dal gCais Sept from the artistocratic warrior male line of 85.Cormac Cass - of the Curly Hair to once again become a Gaelic Milesian Heberian King of Cashel / Munster, and once he had obtained this goal it was naturally going to upset some of the surviving Eoghanacht Tanistes / heir apparents / Heberian Eoghanacht Kings, who were getting thin on the ground who were in total shock as to the overlord position in the Munster Province that was now to pass out of the hands of their many and various Eoghanacht Septs after such long period of time. Also the Heberian Eoghanacht Kings of Cashel / Munster had previously made use of their Heberian Dal gCais kinsmen to do their fighting, as did other Irish Kings, as the Dalcassians were famous throughout Ireland for being, "The first into battle and the last out," and this had added to their ability to now defend the other Heberian Septs.
976 AD Because of the continuing successful leadership now being shown against the Vikings by 105.Mahon now the Heberian Da gCiis 39th King of Cashel / Munster and his younger brothers, especially the very young, 105.Brian Boru, was to further consolidate the Heberian Dalcassian Septs position in the eyes of those looking on, as they were continuing to hone their fighting prowess, but 105.Mahon also was to be slain this year under terrible circumstances by the Vikings, who were under Ivar in Limerick in Co. Limerick in the mid - north - west of Munster Province, who were once again allied with two of the disgruntled Eoghanacht Kings, including Donovan from the Heberian Eoghanacht Ui Fidgeinti Sept and 109.Molloy / Mael Muad from the Heberian Eoghanacht Ui Raithlind Sept. Because of this treachery by these two Heberian Kings against their own Heberian kinsmen in cohorts with the Dubh Gall (dark foreigners) under Ivar, they both came to be held in disdain by the many other Septs in Munster, and Donovan was to be the first one to be eventually hunted down and slain by 105.Mahon’s younger brother, 105.Brian Boru and his son, 106.Murrough while on the other hand because of his treachery 109.Molloy / Mael Muad was now to gain the upper hand for a short time. Due to the demise of 105.Mahon 109.Molloy / Mael Muad mac Brain became the Heberian Eoghanacht Ui Raithlind 40th King of Cashel / Munster and was to also become the male line direct aristocratic warrior ancestor also of the O Mahony Septs from the Munster Province.
978 AD. 109.Molloy / Mael Muad mac Brain who was now the Heberian Eoghanacht Ui Raithlind 40th King of Cashel / Munster was killed by the young 105.Brian Boru, who due to the demise of his older brother 105.Mahon was now the Heberian Dal gCais King of North Munster / Thomond as 109.Molloy had been involved in the slaying of *105.Brian Boru's brother 105.Mahon the previous Heberian Dal gCais Ui Bloid Ui Turlough 39th King of Munster who had been the first from his Sept.
105.Brian Boru who was then the new Heberian Dalcassian King of Northern Munster / Thomond then became the Heberian Dal gCais 41st King of Cashel / Munster and was later to become one of the greatest revered High Kings of Ireland and was also to marry his Heberian Dal gCais Ui mBriain daughter, 105.Sadbh to 110.Cian / Keen the Heberian Eoghanacht Ui Raithlind son of 109.Molloy / Mael Muad the previous 40th King of Cashel / Munster, and they would produce 111.Mahon the direct male line aristocratic warrior ancestor of the O Mahonys.
Returning to the original beginnings of the Gaelic Milesian Heberian Eoghanachta Septs.
During the 2nd Century AD the Irish Clanns of the kingdom of Ulaid in the north - east of the Ulster Province also included the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Dal Fiatach Sept who were descended from 103.Fiatach Fionn (Daire) who had been the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 103rd King of Tara / Ireland who became the aristocratic warrior ancestor of the Ulaidh Dal Fiatach Septs who had initially migrated north from out of the Munster Province under pressure from the expanding Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Ui Lughaidh Cu Corb and Ui Laoghaire Ui Connla Gaelic Milesian Septs in Southern Leinster, who were all originally descended from 37.Eremon through *60.Leary Lorc the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian 68th King of Tara / Erinn the ancestor of all of these Ui Laoghaire Septs.

The Gaelic Heberians in the Munster Province from now on were to continue also to gain greater control over the territories in Munster, as the Heberian Eoghanachta Septs in Southern Munster and the Heberian Dal gCais Septs in Northern Munster.
There was no writing up until this earlier time as their Celtic culture was still based on their oral tradition, which was held in trust over the long learning period of the revcered Druids, which could take from 7 up to 20 years and the Druids taught the various Irish Septs the belief that the Soul and the Universe were indestructible and all must live in harmony with Nature, and that Pain and Death was part of the Divine plan and that Evil was a Moral weakness, as they were mainly concerned with the Truth, which was to them the highest Principle, and also with the sustaining power of Creation.
