Eoghanachta of Munster - 26A.
846 AD. 100 Felim mac Crimthainn the Heberian Eoghanacht Chaisil 23rd King of Cashel / Munster besieged the monastery of Clonmacnoise in Co. Offaly in the north - west of Southern Leinster again, and desolated it and in the meantime Forindan the Abbot of Armagh had been ransomed from the Vikings and returned to Armagh in the south - east of the Ulster Province.
The Vikings also created another settlement on the islands that were situated off the coast of Cork in Co. Cork in the Southern Munster.
847 AD. 100.Felim mac Crimthainn the Heberian Eoghanacht Chaisil 23rd King of Cashel / Munster, died this year, who besides leaving no real glory as to any opposition to the Vikings also left no aristocratic warrior Chaisil Kings of Cashell / Munster from his direct male line extending from 91.Aengus mac Nad Froich the Chaisil 3rd King of Cashel / Munster, the grandson of 89.Connall Corc the 1st King of Cashel / Munster and aristocratic warrior ancestor of all of the Chaisil Septs and 85.Eoghan Mor the ancestor of all of the Eoghanachta. Instead he had left a legacy of allowing the Vikings an open slather in the south of Ireland, which they had taken full advantage of during his long rule and would continue to do so into the future.
102.Olchobar mac Cinaeda became the new Heberian Eoghanacht Locha Lein 24th King of Cashel / Munster who was also the Abbot of Emly and his religious zeal also may have been why he too was elected in the first place and he was a son of 101.Kenneth / Cinaed, a son of 100.Congal, a son of 99.Muldoon / Mael Duin the previous 20a King of Cashel / Munster descended from 95.Aed Bennan who had been the 9a King of Cashel / Munster and from 90.Coirpre Luachra, one of the 7 sons of 89.Conall Corc the 1st King of Cashel / Munster who is the aristocratic warrior ancestor of all of the Chaisil Septs.
848 AD The previous conduct of 100.Felim mac Crimthainn in relation to the ongoping Viking incursions had left a lot to be desired in the southern regions of Ireland and this meant that 102.Olchobar mac Cinaeda the 24th King of Cashell / Munster from the Heberian Eoghanacht Locha Lein Sept had to make up for lost time and he decided straightaway to take the Vikings head on as they were by now settling in permanently at Cork in Southern Munster and with this new attitude now prevailing in Ireland the Irish monks were soon able to go to France to seek free passage to Rome for their individual Irish Kings who had by then defeated the Vikings four times. Two of the victories over the Vikings were carried out by the new rising star in the south, *103.Malachy / Mael Sechnaill 1st the new Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill Clann Cholmain 167th King of Ireland who had his territory in Midhe / Meath / Northern Leinster. With a further two wins against the Vikings by the Heberian Eoghanachta under 102.Olchobar mac Cinaeda near Cashel in Co. Tipperary in the north - east of the Munster Province all in Ireland now considered the tide was turning against the continual insidious Viking menace then from out of nowhere another 120 Viking ships appeared all around Ireland who also began to utilize the inland rivers, especially the River Shannon to plunder further into the hinterland of Ireland.
850 AD Waterford / Vedrafjord on the east coast in Co. Waterford in the south - east of the Munster Province by this time was also set up as a township by the Vikings settled there as they had previously received no real resistance in that Munster Province region during the reign of 100.Felim mac Crimthann who had been the previous Heberian Eoghanacht 23rd King of Cashel / Munster.
851 AD 102.Olchobar mac Cinaeda the Heberian Eoghanacht Locha Lein 24th King of Cashell / Munster, died this year, who had been a great - grandson of 99.Muldoon / Mael Duin the previous 20a King of Cashel / Munster and who had only reigned for 4 years and was descended from 90.Coirpre / Cairbre Luachra the original direct male line ancestor of Iar Muma / Western Munster, who was another of the 7 sons of 89.Conall Corc the 1st King of Cashel / Munster and aristocratic warrior ancestor of all of the Chaisil Septs.
103.Ailgenan became the Heberian Eoghanacht Chaisil 25th King of Cashel / Munster whose father, 102.Donngal was a son of 101.Tnuthgal the previous 22nd King of Cashell /Munster descended from 95.Failbhe Fland who had been the 11th King of Cashell / Munster, and he would continue on the Chaisil aristocratic warrior male line by becoming the direct male line ancestor of 106.Fer Graid who would become the future 37th King of Cashell / Munster.
