In a twist of Fate, Mugain the second wife of *93.Diarmait mac Carroll had been humiliated by his chief wife, Eithne, due to her having no children of her own at the time, (Eithne was the mother of his 2 older sons, (94.Cholman Mor and 94.Colman Bec.) but Mugain was to be cured by St. Finnian of Mag Bile of her barrenness and had given birth to the young *94.Aed Slaine. (Mugain was the daughter of Conchrad mac Duach from the Ui Duach Sept in the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Connla kingdom of Ossory in Co.

With the recent demise of *96.Finsnechta Fledach and his son, 97.Breasal, who was also killed in the battle, their particular aristocratic warrior male line from his father, 95.Dunchad to the Kingship was also brought to an abrupt end.

720 - 722 AD *98.Kenneth / Cinaeth / Cinaed was to be the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill Siol nAedo Slaine 158rd King of Ireland, who was a son of 97.Irgalach the previous 11th King of Brega, who had been one of the 2 sons of 96.Conaing Cuirrc, a son of 95.Congal the 3rd King of Brega, who was also one of the 5 sons of 94.Aed Slaine the previous joint 141st King of Ireland descended from 91.Conall Cremthainne. *98.Kenneth was to also gain control over the Ulster Province.

728 AD The Heremonian Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill had by now basically consolidated into 2 separate dynasties descending from 2 of the sons of *94.Aed Slaine the previous joint 141st King of Ireland descending from 91.Conall Cremthainne, one of the 8 sons of *90.Niall - of the Nine Hostages who had been the 126th High King of Tara / Ireland in the late 4th Century AD and who is the direct male line ancestor of all of the Dal Cuinn "southern" and "northern" Ui Niaill Septs. Both of their territories were in the Midlands / Midhe / Meath in Northern Leinster where the Siol n Aedo Slaine Sept (Seed of *94.Aed of Slaine) were the Kings of Brega who had their territory in the north - east of Meath, while the Clann Cholmain Sept (Children of 94.Colman Mor) had their main territory in Co. Westmeath in the west of Meath. From 595 AD the Siol nAedo Slaine Sept had previously been the one to provide the "southern" Ui Niaill Kings of Ireland. With the previous demise of *98.Kenneth / Cinaed the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill Siol nAedo Slaine 158th King of Ireland, emanating from *94.Aed Slaine, the Clann Cholmain Sept would shortly begin to come into its own also. From now on all of the "southern" Ui Niaill Kings were to come from the male line of 94.Colman Mor, except for much later on in 943 AD to 954 AD when *104.Congalach Cnogba - of Knowth the King of Knowth was to successfully restore the Kingship of Ireland to the Siol nAedo Slaine Sept in Brega for the very last time when he would then become the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niall Siol nAedo Slaine 172nd King of Ireland.

This was to see the beginning of the end of the Siol nAedo Slaine Sept to the Kingship of Ireland.

742 AD 99.Conaing the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill Siol nAedo Slaine 16th King of Brega, died, who was a son of 98.Awley / Amalgaid the previous 12th King of Brega, who was descended from 95.Congal the 3rd King of Brega, who was one of the 5 sons of *94.

778 AD 100.Congalach the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill Siol nAedo Slaine 19th King of Brega, who had his territory in the south - east of Northern Leinster, died, who was son of 99.Conaing the previous 16th King of Brega, who was a grandson of 97.Congalach the 10th King of Brega, who was one of the 2 sons of 96.Conaing Cuirrc who had been the 6th King of Brega, a son of 95.Congal the 3rd King of Brega, one of the 5 sons of *94.Aed Slaine the previous Joint 141st King of Ireland.  His aristocratic warrior male line was to continue on through his son, 101.Kelly / Ceallach until the advent of *104.Congalach Cnogba - of Knowth who 228 years later on, would for a short time, finally revive the fortunes of the Siol nAedo Slaine Sept when he was to become the 33rd King of Brega and the 172nd King of Ireland. 

943 - 954 AD *104.Conally / Congalach Cnogba - of Knowth / Northern Brega the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill Siol nAedo Slaine 33rd King of Brega became the 172nd King of Ireland, who was a son of 103.Mael Mithig, the previous 29th King of Brega, a son of 102.Flannacan who had been the 27th King of Brega, the son of 101.Kelly / Ceallach, a son of 100.Congalach the 19th King of Brega, a son of 99.Conaing the 16th King of Brega, a son of 98.Auley / Amalgaid the 12th King of Brega, the son of 97.Congalach the 10th King of Brega, one of the 2 sons of 96.Conaing Cuirre who had been the 6th King of Brega, a son of 95.Congal, one of the 5 sons of *94.Aed Slaine the previous joint 141st King of Ireland (Siol nAedo Slaine) another of the 3 sons of *93.Diarmait mac Carroll the 133rd King of Tara / Ireland. After 10 generations the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill Siol nAedo Slaine Sept, also descending from 91.Conall Cremthainne, had finally regained the Kingship of Ireland.

954 AD *104.Connoly / Congalach Cnogba - of Knowth the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill Siol nAedo Slaine 172nd King of Ireland, died, this year and his demise was to see the end of the Siol nAedo Slaine aristocratic warrior male line altogether to the Kingship of Ireland.
