Eoghanachta of Munster - 08.

385 AD. Due to 89.Mongfind's previous kin slaying / fingal of her brother *89.Criffan / Crimthann Mor mac Fidaig the previous Gaelic Milesian Heberian Eoghanacht 125th King of Tara / Ireland, her Heremonian Dal Cuinn sons, 90.Brion, 90.Fiachra Foltsnach and 90.Ailill were now in deep trouble, while her step - son, 90.Niall was now also highly popular with the aristocratic warrior Gaels, and it was also well known that his father *89.Eochy Mugmedon the previous Gaelic Milesian 124th King of Tara / Ireland had wanted him to be the one to succeed him. He had since become the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Cuinn 126th King of Tara / Ireland who would be known in the future as 90.Niall Noigiallach -  of the Nine Hostages who would become the direct aristocratic warrior male line ancestor of all of the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "southern" and "northern" Ui Niaill Septs who would rule Ireland in their own right for the next 600 years.

      The Heberian Septs in the Munster Province realizing what 89.Mong Find had done and why, were to take the opportunity to seek retribution against two of her sons, 90.Ailill the aristocratic warrior ancestor of the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Ailello Sept and 90.Fiachra Foltsnach - of the Flowing Hair the aristocratic warrior ancestor of the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Fiachrach Sept who were to be evetually sent by their half - brother *90.Niall - of the Nine Hostages, who was now the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Dal Cuinn 126th King of Tara / Ireland, down into Munster to collect tribute / borumha from the Munster Septs, which was only to create further conflict, which was also added to by them by also taking hostages from Munster. 90..Fiachra Foltsnach was to be wounded during a scuffle on the way back up to Tara in Northern Leinster, which allowed the hostages that were taken from Munster to escape, who also seized 90.Fiachra Foltsnach, and buried him alive, while 90.Ailill too was also killed while on the way back from Munster in 90.Fiachra Foltsnach's allotted territory of Aidhne in Southern Connacht, and this also meant that more of the territory there in the south of the Connacht Province was then seized by the Heberian Dal gCais of Northern Munster / Thomond, which further expanded their Heberian territory previously gained in what is now known as Co. Clare.

       Previously after the demise of 85.Eoghan Mor, the direct aristocratic warrior ancestor of the Heberian Eoghanachta Septs, and his son 86.Fiacha Muilleathan - of the Flathead, who created the main male aristocratic warrior direct line of the Eoghanachta Septs to the Munster Kingships, was to be carried forward by his son, 87.Ailill Fland Bec who became the father also of 3 sons who would then continue on the aristocratic warrior Eoghanacht male line. One of these sons, (1) 88.Lewy / Luigthech was to become the father of 89.Conall Corc who would become instead the 1st Heberian Eoghanacht King of Cashel / Munster and produce the future aristocratic warrior Eoghanacht Chaisil Septs becoming the main direct ancestor then of the future Chaisil and kindred Munster Eoghanacht Kings until the very last one in 110.Cormac Mac Carthy in 1138 AD. 88.Lewy's brother, (2) 88.Lare Fidach had also been the father of *89.Criffan / Crimthann Mor mac Fidaig the previously mentioned King of Munster and Gaelic Milesian Heberian 125th King of Tara / Ireland whose sister was the unforgettable 89.Mong Find, while their other brother / or brothers, were (3) 88.Maine Munchain the aristocratic warrior ancestor of the Heberian Ui Fidgeinti Sept and / or 88.Daire Cerbba the aristocratic warrior ancestor of the Heberian Ui Duach Argetrois Sept and the Heberian Ui Liathain Sept who may have even been his twin brother.

400 AD. 89.Conall Corc, who would now produce the main Heberian Eoghanacht Chaisil aristocratic warrior male line had been previously sent into exile to Ferdach the King of Alba  / Scottish Highlands by his father, 88.Lewy / Luigthech due to the amorous attentions of his new young stepmother, who he had to continually try to evade, and he would now have the greatest genetic effect on future generations of the Heberian Eoghanachta Septs in the Munster Province, as this Century would see the eventual rise of the fortunes of the aristocratic warrior Heberian Eoghanacht Septs who were to set up under his initial leadership on the Rock of Cashel in Co. Tipperary in the north - east of Munster. When 89.Conall Corc was to return to Ireland his Heberian Eoghanachta direct aristocratic warrior male lines to the Kingship of Cashel / Munster were to begin to dominate in the south as they were to produce 6 of the 7 main Eoghanacht Septs, (1) the Heberian Aine Ui Enda Sept (2) the Heberian Airthir Chliach Sept (3) the Heberian Chaisil Cenel Conaill Sept (4) the Heberian Glendamnach Sept (5) the Heberian Locha Lein Sept and the (6) Heberian Raithlind Ui Echach Muman Septs, the Ui Laegairi Sept and the Cenel nAeda / Cenel mBecce Family branches.

      88.Maine Munchain who had been a brother to 89.Conall Corc's father, 88.Lewy / Luigthech, was to also produce the Heberian Ui Fidgeinti / Ui Choirpri Aebda Sept and the Heberian Ui Chonaill Gabra Sept who in turn would produce 101.Olchobur who was to die in the future in 796/7 AD who may have been the 20b King of Cashel / Munster, and if so the only one, if at all, from the Heberian Ui Fidgeinti Sept, while the rest were to all emanate through the various Heberian Eoghanacht Chaisil Septs descending directly from 89.Conall Corc who had become the 1st King of Cashel / Munster who was to originally produce the main Heberian Eoghanacht Chaisil Sept.

       St. Declan of Ardmore, St. Ciaran of Saigir and St. Ailbhe of Emly who were all from the Eoghanachta Septs were preaching the gospel in Ireland well before St. Patrick arrived, which may have meant that the Heberian Eoghanacht fortress on the Rock of Cashel in the north of Co. Tipperary in the north - east of the Munster Province might have already been Christian from the beginning, and also the Heberian Eoghanacht Ui Liathain Sept that was to emanate from 88.Daire Cerbba / *88.Maine Munchain.

      The Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Deisi Sept who had emanated from *79.Felim / Feidhlimidh Reachtmhar the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian 108th King of Tara / Ireland, the direct male line ancestor of the aristocratic warrior Ui Felim Septs who were to be situated in the east of Co. Cork in Southern Munster were also to eventually have settlements in Cornwall and Wales, and he was also to be the ancestor of the Fotharta Septs in Southern Leinster and the Dal Cuinn Septs throughout Ireland.

        Munster Province was at this time divided into five fifths / cuigi made up of (1) Northern Munster / Thomond, which also included Killaloe and Kilfenora in Co. Clare, (2) East Munster / Aur Mumu / Ormond, which included the territory at Cashel in Co. Tipperary and nearby in Ossory in Southern Leinster and Waterford and Lismore in Co. Waterford,  (3) Mid - Munster known as Medon Muman, which took in Co. Limerick and Emly also in Co. Tipperary, (4) Southern Munster / Des Mumu / Desmond, which included Cloyne and Ross in Co. Cork while (5) West Munster / Iar Mumu took in Ardfert in Co. Kerry.
