Eoghanachta of Munster - 09.
West Munster / Iar Mumu was where the House of Donn / Tech Duinn was situated and in Irish Mythology all of the Irish people will go there after their death as it was named for 37.Eber Donn - of Brown Complexion, who had been the oldest son of *36.Mil / Gallamh (warrior)) who had been drowned before he could once again reach the shores of Ireland during the Gaels' second attempt at landing after 37,Amergin as their Druid had agreed to the request of the Tuatha De Danann King to do so in fairness and Celtic tradition, while in Irish Myth also 37.Eber Donn abides permanently at the House of Donn himself, which is a line of sand hills situated in the Dingle Peninsula in Co. Kerry in the south - west of the Munster Province.
Among the Munster Province goddesses were Aine commemorated by Knockainy in Co. Limerick in the north - west of Munster, which was the main seat of the Heberian Eoghanacht Aine Ui Enda Sept, Aibelle of Grey Rock / Craig Liath who was in Thomond / Northern Munster and Anu / Danu the original ancestor of the Scythian Tuatha De Danann Septs.
With the dispossession of Ireland originally from the Tuatha De Danann, and the eventual arrival of the Romano Celt St. Patrick to further spread Christianity the goddesses were to be transposed into the Sidhe / Fairies with Aoibhinn / Evin the Queen of the Fairies of Northern Munster and Aine the Queen of the Fairies of Southern Munster who also may have even replaced Anu / Danu altogether as the goddess of abundance and prosperity, as every St. John's Eve she alone was to have a magical ritual performed in her honour to ensure greater fertility for the coming year. The Irish Septs around Knockainy / Cnoc Aine every year carried burning bunches of hay upon poles to the top of the hill and then spread out among the fields waving them over the crops and cattle, as Aine was looked upon as being very sympathetic to all of the Irish Septs / Family branches who lived throughout that region.
Two of the cousins of 89.Conall Corc who had become the Heberian Eoghanacht 1st King of Cashell / Munster and aristocratic warrior direct ancestor of all of the Chaisil Septs had also originally created another strong connection between the Septs / Family branches of the Heberian Septs in the south and the Heremonian Septs in the Midlands / Midhe / Meath / Northern Leinster as 89.Mongfind, the sister to *89.Crimthann Mor mac Fidaig the Heberian Eoghanacht King of Munster had married *89.Eochy / Eochaidh Mughmedhoin the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Dal Cuinn 124th King of Tara / Ireland. Their oldest son 90.Brion, who should have become the King of Tara in his own right became instead the original Heremonian Dal Cuinn 1st King of Connacht (The People of *83.Conn) and also the direct aristocratic warrior ancestor of the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Briuin Kings of Connacht and eventually Tara / Ireland culminating in the last one *112.Rory O Connor the Gaelic Milesian 175th King of Ireland who would die in 1198 AD after the Anglo - Norman Invasion. Of their other two sons, 90.Fiachra Foltsnach - of the Flowing Hair would become the original 2nd Heremonian Dal Cuinn King of Connacht and the direct aristocratic warrior male line ancestor of all of the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Fiachrach Kings of Connacht and Tara / Ireland also, and 90.Ailill would become the direct aristocratic warrior ancestor of the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Ailello Septs in the north - east of the Connacht Province with these 3 sons becoming also the ancestors of the 3 Connachta Septs of Connacht. After the death of their father, *86.Eochy Mugmedon, 89.Mongfind had been able to assist in having her brother, *89.Crimthann Mor mac Fidaig installed as the Heberian 125th King of Tara / Ireland to suite her own agenda, but her plans to install her oldest son, 87.Brion as the overall King of Tara / Ireland had gone up in smoke.
The Heberian Eoghanacht Septs descended originally from *37.Eber Fionn - of Fair Complexion the 1st joint Gaelic Milesian King of Erinn / Ireland, his descendant 84.Ailill Oluimm the Heberian 1st King of Munster and his oldest son, 85.Eoghan Mor - the Greater were by now the outright Kings of Cashel / Munster gaining complete control over the south of Ireland as opposed to their kinsmen the Heberian Dal gCais Sept who were descendants of his younger brother, 85.Cormac Cass - of the Curly Hair who were to become completely alienated from the actual Cashel / Munster Kingship for Centuries ahead, continuing to serve only as Gaelic Milesian aristocratic warriors in the Munster Province, with a widespread reputation as great fighters as "The first into battle and the last out." This was to be the way of it from now on until the coming of the Vikings in the 9th Century AD, and then due to their long constant solid conditioning, and the endless Viking disruption to the Irish Brehon Law they would rise to the occasion as Heberian Dalcassian Kings of Munster in their own right in the 10th Century AD leading onto them also becoming High Kings of Ireland.
