Limerick in the mid - north - west of Munster became the new Heberian King of Norhern Munster / Thomond, who crossed the River Shannon into the west and extended his territory there from Northern Munster into Aidhne the south - eastern part of the Connacht Province and joined it to his kingdom in Northern Munster. As it was to be taken as sword - land it was not subject to the Heberian Eoghanacht Kings as he drove out the Fir Bolg Septs who were from there originally further to the north into Co. Galway in Southern Connacht and having won that territory himself personally in what is now the east of Co. Clare he would not pay tribute for it.
325 - 335 AD. 90.Conal Each Luath - of the Fleet Steeds, a son of 89. Lewy Men became the aristocratic warrior Heberian King of Northern Munster / Thomond and was originally descended from 37.Heber Fionn - of the Curly Hair.
335 - 350 AD. 91.Cas became the Heberian King of Northern Munster / Thomond, who was the eldest son of 90.Conal - of the Fleet Steeds and a grandson of 89.Lewy Men and was descended from 85.Cormac Cass - of the Curly Hair and of 37.Eber Fionn - of Fair Complexion and was to produce 12 aristocratic warrior sons from whom all of the Gaelic Milesian Heberian Dal gCais / Dalcassian Septs / Family branches in Northern Munster / Thomond descend.
88.Lewy / Luigthech / Lughaidh, was one of the 3 or 4 aristocratic warrior sons of 87.Ailill Fland Bec / Oilioll Flann Beag the previous Gaelic Milesian Heberian Eoghanacht King of Munster who was to rule for 30 years, who had been a son of 86.Fiachu Muilleathan - of the Flat Head, the son of 85.Eoghan Mor the direct male line ancestor of all of the Heberian Eoghanachta Septs, and he would continue on the direct aristocratic warrior Eoghanacht male line to the Munster Kingship through one of his 3 sons, 89.Conall Corc who was to become the main ancestor of the Eoghanacht Chaisil Kings of Cashel / Munster. Another brother, 88.Maine Munchain was to produce the direct aristocratic warrior male line of the Heberian Eoghanacht Ui Fidgeinti Septs and was also to be known as 88.Daire Cerbba or he may have even been his twin brother, who was to become the direct male line ancestor of the Heberian Eoghanacht Ui Duach Argetrois Sept and the Heberian Eoghanacht Ui Liathain Sept, while their other brother, 88.Lare Fidach was also an Eoghanacht King of Munster who was to be the father of *89.Criffan / Crimthann Mor mac Fidaig who was to become not only a King of Munster, but also the Gaelic Milesian Heberian 125th King of Tara / Ireland.
357 AD. *89.Eochy / Eochaidh Mughmedhoin / Mugmedon - the Lord of Slaves was the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Cuinn King of Connacht who was to be the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian 124th King of Tara / Ireland who was married to 89.Mongfind / Mong Fionn, the daughter also of 88.Lare Fidach the previously mentioned Eoghanacht King of Munster and a sister to *89.Criffan / Crimthann Mor mac Fidaig the Eoghanacht King of Munster also and the future Gaelic Milesian 125th King of Tara / Ireland. (As Heberians they were descended in Ireland from 85.Eoghan Mor, 84.Ailill Oluimm the 1st Heberian King of Munster, and originally *37.Eber Fionn - of Fair Complexion. 89.Eochy Mughmedhoin and 89.Mongfind were to produce the direct aristocratic warrior male line ancestors of the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Cuinn 3 Connachta Septs in the Connacht Province who were to emanate from 3 of their sons. 90.Brion would become the original Heremonian Dal Cuinn 1st King of Connacht and the direct male line ancestor of the aristocratic warrior Heremonian Ui Briuin Septs. 90.Fiachra Foltsnathac - of the Flowing Hair who would become the original Heremonian Dal Cuinn 2nd King of Connacht and the direct male line ancestor of the aristocratic warrior Heremonian Ui Fiachrach Septs, and 87.Ailill / Oilioll the Heremonian Dal Cuinn direct aristocratic warrior male line ancestor of the Heremonian Ui Ailello Septs while their fourth son, 90.Fergus was to leave no recorded aristocratic warrior issue.
365 AD. *89.Eochy Mughmedhoin the Gaelic Milesan Heremonian Dal Cuinn 124th King of Tara / Ireland, died this year, and as his oldest son 90.Brion was still too young, 89.Mongfind persuaded the other Irish Kings to support her brother *89.Criffan / Crimthann Mor mac Fidaig who was now the Heberian Eoghanacht King of Munster who then became the Gaelic Milesian Heberian Eoghanacht 125th King of Tara / Ireland, the first from the Heberian Septs descended from 37.Eber Fionn since *74.Duach the Gaelic Milesian 91st King of Tara / Erinn in 168 BC. (89.Mongfind had considered the possibility that this would be only until her oldest son, 90.Brion would come of age and gain the Kingship of Ireland for himself). Despite her own personal plans for the future her recently deceased husband, *89.Eochy Mughmedhoin the 124th King of Tara / Ireland, also had another son, 90.Niall from Caireann Chais Dubh - of the Dark Curly Hair who was a Brythonic Princess and the daughter of Scal Moen the King of the Saxons in Albion / Briton. (He was a half - brother to her own 4 sons). Before his demise *89.Eochy Mugmedon had personally decreed, due to *90.Niall's individual outstanding abilities, that he should be the one to follow on after him, instead of 89.Mong Find's, oldest son, 90.Brion, and not to be discouraged, while her brother, *89.Criffan / Crimthann Mor was to be over in Alba / Scotland, 89.Mongfind was to make plans to divide up Ireland between her own 4 sons.
366 AD. *89.Criffan / Crimthann Mor mac Fidaig as the Gaelic Milesian Heberian Eoghanacht 125th King of Tara / Ireland, (the first since *74.Duach in 168 BC), recalled *90.Niall back from exile in Alba / Scotland) and put him in command of a section of his Gaelic Milesian warriors as he was intending to carry out the decree of 90.Niall's father, *86. Eochy Mugmedon the previous Heremonian Dal Cuinn 124th King of Tara / Ireland to have *90.Niall installed as the future 126th King of Tara / Ireland, not his sister's son 90.Brion.
370 AD. The Heberian Eoghanacht Chaisil Septs in the future were to be descended directly from 89.Conall Corc who was to become the Heberian Eoghanacht 1st King of Cashel / Munster. who was a cousin of *89.Criffan / Crimthann mac Fidaig the Gaelic Milesian Heberian 125th King of Tara / Ireland who would leave no aristocratic warrior issue himself towards both of the Kingships. which was to then see the end of 88.Fidaig's aristocratic warrior male line altogether towards the Kingships. The Heberian Eoghanacht Chaisil Septs were to eventually take turns at becoming the Heberian Kings of Cashel / Munster making the Rock of Cashel / Sid Druim (The Hill of the Sidhe / Faerie Folk) in Co. Tipperary in the north - east of the Munster Province their permanent Royal Fortress. It would remain so until 1101 AD when it was then to come under the control of the Heberian Dal gCais O Brians (Ui mBriain) of Northern Munster / Thomond who were to be by that period in time the Heberian Kings of Cashel / Munster when it was then to be handed over to the Catholic Church, while the settlement nearby at Cashel was also to be the only place in Ireland that could really be classed as an Irish township
378 AD. By now 89.Mongfind was getting more and more desperate to get her oldest son, 90.Brion elected to the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Kingship of Tara / Ireland so she decided to hurry it all along, and to this end went as far as poisoning her own brother, *89.Criffan / Crimthann Mor mac Fidaig the present Gaelic Milesian Heberian 125th King of Tara / Ireland during a feast, and to further ensure her plan came to fruition she was also willing to poison herself as she had to drink from the same cup before *89.Criffan / Crimthann would take a drink himself. *89.Criffan / Crimthann was to eventually die, on his way back to the Munster Province at Cratloe / Sliab Aideda an Rig (The Mountain of the King's Death)in Co. Clare in the north - west of the Munster Province. Another adverse effect of this kin slaying / fingal was that the Heberian Dal gCais Sept in Northern Munster too had always laid claim to *89.Criffan / Crimthann mac Fidaig as being one of their kinsmen and from now on there was to be bad blood between Munster and 89.Mongfind's 3 Connachta sons, 90.Brion, 90.Fiachra Foltsnathac and 90.Ailill who were from the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Cuinn aristocratic warrior male line in the Connacht, Province, which would last for many generations to come.
