Eoghanachta of Munster - 10. 

       The Heberian Eoghanachta Septs descending from 85.Eoghan Mor were still setting up on the Rock of Cashel / caiseal (stone fort,) which is 300’ high, and covers an area of 2 acres, as their main Royal fortress in their territory in Co. Tipperary (The Wood of Ara) in the north - east of the Munster Province.

        88.Lewy / Luigthech the father of 89.Conall Corc the 1st King of Cashel / Munster and the aristocratic warrior ancestor of all of the Heberian Eoghanacht Chaisil Septs would also be the ancestor of the Heberian Eoghanacht Ui Lugdech Eile Sept from his other son 89.Lewy / Lughaidh, and the Heberian Eoghanacht Ui Chathbad Chuille Sept from another son, 89.Cathub, but despite the early combined influence of all of these Heberian Eoghanacht Septs in the Munster Province it would be 89.Conall Corc through his Chaisil Septs who would prove to be the most influential of all of his sons in the Munster Province. He was not only to be the direct ancestor of 28 Heberian Eoghanacht Chaisil Kings of Cashel / Munster, but also 5 Heberian Eoghanacht Aine Ui Enda Kings of Cashel / Munster, 3 Heberian Eoghanacht Airthir Chliach Kings of Cashel / Munster, 10 Heberian Eoghanacht Glendamnach Kings of Cashel / Munster, 3 Heberian Eoghanacht Ui Echach Muman / Ui Laegairi / Cenel nAeda / Cenel mBecce Heberian Eoghanacht Kings of Cashel / Munster and 4 Heberian Eoghanacht Locha Lein Kings of Cashel / Munster.

416 AD. Through the early Christian teachings of a Catholic / Katholikos / Universal disciple of St. John who had previously come into Ireland, St. Declan, the son of Ercus who was the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Deisi King in Co. Waterford in the south - east of the Munster Province was baptized and he began his own personal mission at the Great Height / Ard More in Co. Tipperary in the north - east of the Munster Province where he was to found a Seminary there 20 years before St. Patrick himself was to return to Ireland to commence his mission and the Christian faith was to strike very deep roots in Ireland as it naturally fitted in well with Gaelic Culture and the overall outlook of the Celts.

432 AD. 89.Conal Corc, the son of 88.Lewy / Luigthech, the Gaelic Milesian Heberian 1st King of Cashel / Munster had laid the foundation for the Heberian Eoghanacht Chaisil Kings of Cashel / Munster on the Rock of Cashel who were all to be descended initially also from 85.Eoghan Mor the aristocratic warrior male line ancestor of all of the Eoghanacht Septs, and by this period in time there was now also a distinct border between Northern and Southern Munster. 

     Of the 7 sons of 89.Conall Corc, (2) 90.Coirpre Luachra would become the direct aristocratic warrior male line ancestor of the Heberian Eoghanacht Locha Lein Sept in the west of Munster / Iar Muman and they would leave 4 Kings of Cashel / Munster. (3) 90.Coirpre Cruithnechan would become the direct aristocratic warrior male line ancestor of the Heberian Eoghanacht Maige Gerginni nAlbain Sept, and (4) 90.Maine Leamhna would become the direct aristocratic warrior male line ancestor of the Heberian Eoghanacht Lemnaig in nAlbain Sept / Mor Mhoar Leamhna in the Highlands of Scotland. (5) 90.mac Cass was to become the direct aristocratic warrior male line ancestor of the Heberian Eoghanacht Raithlind Sept in Southern Munster / Des Muman Family Septs who were to also leave 3 Kings of Cashel / Munster and he is also the direct male line ancestor of the Heberian Eoghanacht Ui Ecach Muman / Ui Laegairi / Cenel nAeda / Cenel mBecce Septs. (6) 90.mac Iair is the direct aristocratic warrior male line ancestor of the Heberian Eoghanacht Ui Maic Iair Sept and (7) 90.mac Brocc is the direct aristocratic warrior male line ancestor of the Heberian Eoghanacht Ui Maic Brocc Sept.

(1) 90.Nad Froich / Nathfraoch 89.Conall Corc's other son would become the Heberian Eoghanacht Chaisil 2nd King of Cashel / Munster on the Rock of Cashel who would continue the direct aristocratic warrior male line of the Heberian Eoghanacht Chaisil Clan in the Kingships as he was to be the father of;

       St. Patrick who had arrived in 432 AD into Ireland for the second time, to begin his mission, was able to use the shamrock to explain the meaning of the Trinity to 91.Aengus mac Nad Froich the 3rd King of Cashel / Munster and baptized him together with his brothers including 91.Ailill who is the direct aristocratic warrior male line ancestor of the Heberian Eoghanacht Aine Ui Enda Sept who would produce 6 Kings of Cashel / Munster in their own right, and during the ceremony St. Patrick was to accidentally spear 91.Aengus in the foot with his Crozier, which drew blood, but he did not complain as he thought it was part of the ceremony, and St. Patrick then advised 91.Aengus that in the future there would be only one slaughter carried out on the Rock of Cashel, which he then blessed. In the future 27 Heberian Cashel / Munster Kings were to rule from there up until 103.Finguine Cenn nGecan who would be the 30th King of Cashel / Munster killed in 902 AD as the Viking raids by then were to become much more serious and the region around Cashel a much more open target for their never - ending ongoing inland raids from the coastal regions.

489 / 92 AD. 91.Aengus mac Nad Froich the Heberian Eoghanacht Chaisil 3rd King of Cashel / Munster was slain in a battle at Cell Osnadha by the combined forces of the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Cuinn Ui Niaill descended from *90.Niall - of the Nine Hostages the previous Gaelic Milesian 126th King of Tara / Ireland and the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Ui Lughaidh Cu Corb Ui Dunlainge Southern Leinster Septs descended from 94.Dowling / Dunlaing a Southern Leinster Cu Corb Prince where the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Niaill Septs were led by *90.Murtough / Muirchertach mac Ercae the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Cenel nEogain "northern" Ui Niaill 3rd King of Aileach while the Heremonian Cu Corb Ui Dunlainge Septs were lead by the 93.Ailill and 93.Illan  2 of the sons of 94.Dowling / Dunlaing, along with their kinsman Eochy / Eochaidh Guineach.
