The Clann Mac Naughton / Mac Neachtain, and the Clann mac Nicol who anglicized as Nicholson, were kinsman and Clann Chiefs in common and their tartans were similar. The Ui Tairceirt descendants of 56.Daire were the Chiefs of the Clann Neachtain and the Chiefs of the Clan Snedgile / Snackroll / Mac Nicol / Nicholson. Otter Snedgile / Snackroll / Mac Nichol was an Irish Ithian Darinian Prince and the Earl of the Western Hebrides who became the King of the Danes in Dublin from 1146 AD - 1148 AD to whom he was related, as the Nicholsons in Cumberland and Northumberland were during that period when the Irish Princes made alliances through marriage with the Danish Princes.

This was to be a very decisive victory in a battle that occurred over *59.Lewy's determination to have a turn at the Munster Kingship, which also then allowed him to secure the overall Kingship of Tara / Ireland instead in his own right for 27 years, until he was to be removed from the position. He was later slain by Fergus / Feircis Dubh - Dheadach, a son of Imchad / Coman Eces who then became the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 114th King of Ireland for one year only. *59.Lewy mac con had 5 sons,
