877 AD. *104.Flann Sinna, the Prince / Tanaiste / heir apparent who was the son of *103.Malachy 1st the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill Clann Cholmain 167th High King of Tara / Ireland was at this time beginning to assert his own personal authority on the Heberian Septs in the Munster Province in preparation for eventually becoming the next Heremonian Ui Niaill King of Ireland, and to this end this year he was to come up against the wrath of 103.Lorcan aka Finghin and his Heberian Dal gCais aristocratic warriors in Co. Clare in the north - west of the Munster Province. 103.Lorcan was from the Heberian Dalcassian Ui Bloid Ui Turlough Sept, as he was a son off 102.Lachtna who had previously befriended and submitted to 100.Felim mac Crimthann the previous 23rd King of Cashel / Munster due to what he was his perceived pious religious commitment. The Dalcassians / Dal gCais were descended from 85.Cormac Cass - of the Curly Hair the younger brother of 85.Eoghan Mor the aristocratic warrior ancestor of all of the Eoghanacht Septs. What was about to occur involving *104.Flann Sinna was to revive the fortunes of the Gaelic Milesian Heberian Dal gCais, and change the history of Ireland greatly and that of the Heberian Eoghanachta Septs in Munster. 103.Lorcan / Larkin was to become the father of 104.Kennedy / Ceaneidigh and more importantly the grandfather of 105.Brian Boru - of the Tributes the future Heberian Dalcassian 175th High King of Ireland. He in turn was to be the ancestor of the O Briens (Ui mBriain) Septs of Thomond / Northern Munster. 105.Mahon who was 105.Brian's older brother was also to become the first Heberian Dalcassian 39th King of Cashel / Munster wresting the position from the declining influence of the Heberian Eoghanacht Septs, while another older brother 104.Dunchan / Donncuan was to become the direct ancestor of the O Kennedys of Clare and Ormond / Co.

*101.Flann Sinna the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Cuinn "southern Ui Niaill Clann Cholmain Prince took it upon himself to defile Magh Adhair (The Meadow of the Sacred Oaks), which was the Crowning Place of the Heberian Dal gCais Kings situated in the north - east of Co. Clare in the north - west of the Munster Province, by playing chess on the Sacred Mound situated there to assert his future authority over the Dalcassian Septs and especially their connection to the Eoghanachta and for carrying out this sacrilege he was to be pursued by 103.Lorcan the Heberian Dal gCais Chief and his aristocratic Dalcassian warriors. 103.Lorcan was able to defeat him in battle and his Heremonian Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill Clann Cholmain Sept and in despair *101.Flann was to then wander about the district for 3 days in a daze until he finally had to surrender himself up to 103.Lorcan.
