01 AD - 100 AD          

02 AD 76.Maeve the Queen of Connacht / Sreng's Fifth never forgot what Cu Chualann the brilliant Ulster warrior had done to her army previously, and over time she was to approach the kindred of all those he had killed during the various conflicts he had been involved in, and owing to her own peronal agender now encouraged them to seek their revenge and Lewy / Lughaidh, the son of Cu Roi mac Daire the King of Munster who Cu Cualann had slain previously to rescue Blathine / Blathnat, then called on all the warriors of Munster Province who were under his leadership, while Erc, whose father had also been slain by Cu Chualann, called on the warriors under his leadership also in the kingdom of Meath, while the King of Leinster was to bring along his army, and together with 76.Maeve and Ailill and all of their Connacht warriors from the Connacht Province they besieged the Ulster Province and began completely ravaging it. In desperation 65.Conor mac Nessa the Gaelic Milesian Irian King of Ulster called on his Druids and his Ulster warriors to immediately attend a Council to see if they could avoid any chance of Cu Chualann going it alone, as he was well aware that if Cu Chualann was slain, his previous standout kingdom in Ulster would fall in prominence forever. When Cu Chulann was to eventually arrive at the fortress of Emain Macha there in Ulster, 65.Conor mac Nessa had everyone entertain him to try and keep him otherwise occupied, but Cu Chualann could hear the sounds of the battle occurring in the distance and he immediately took up his sword, and Cathbad's son, attempting to try and stop him from joining in the battle physically grabbed him by the arm, while the Druids verbally also tried to dissuade him from going up against those under 76.Maeve who were now besieging them. They convinced him to leave Emain Macha and go to Deaf Valley / Glean na Bochar, but even on arriving there he could still here the sounds of the far off battle and Cathbad then personally advised him, "To let it pass."  The daughters of Calatin were then sent by 76.Maeve to inflame his passions further, and they came crying out, saying, "Dun Deaghan was burning and Muirthemne was ruined and Ulster was ravaged," so he immediately took up his arms and ordered Laeg his charioteer, to yoke up his personal chariot, but the Grey of Macha, his war horse, refused to be bridled, and his mother Deichtire brought him wine to calm him down, but it was all to no avail as his mind was now made up as the ongoing sounds of the conflict beckoned him to join in. on the way there whjile crossing over the first ford a woman who was washing clothes there informed him that they were the clothes of Cu Chulann who would soon be killed in battle, and he was also pressured into eating some meat, which only added further to his woes by making him feel sick just as his enemies were beginnning to move against him. He also had with him his 3 spears, and during the ensuing conflicts 3 Druids in turn were to ask him for one of these each, as they knew under the Celtic culture he could not refuse them, so he threw the first spear at one of them and it killed him. Lewy / Lughaidh the son of Cu Roi mac Daire gathered up that particular spear and then used it to slay Laeg his charioteer, so the next Druid then also demanded a spear and he threw it at him and killed him also and Erc the King of Leinster then took hold of this particular spear and plunged it into the Grey of Macha, and so the third Druid then demanded his last spear, which he also then threw directly at him killing him also. Lewy also took up this third spear and threw it directly at Cu Chualann and it hit the mark severely wounding him, and Cu Chulann who was now 27 year of age was also very of thirsty, and he beseeched his opponents to allow him to go to the loch nearby and quench his thirst and bath his wounds and they agreed, but after bathing his wounds he found that he could not walk any further and called out to his enemies to come to him instead, and while they were doing so he bound himself with his belt to a pillar stone that was nearby so that he could at least stand up facing towards them. The Grey of Macha who had been previously severly wounded also was by now also dying, but despite this he still came forward and tried to drive Cu Chulan's enemies away from him, but eventully a crow landed on Cu Chualann's shoulder, and his enemies were then made well aware that it was now safe to approach him and that finally the end had arrived for Cu Chualann, and Lewy then came forward also and cut off his head to take it back to show it to 76.Maeve. On finding Cu Chulann's remains 68.Conall Cearnach - of the Victories, the leader of the Red Branch Knights of Ulster, went after those who had been involved in his demise and was to kill many of them, but despite his best efforts 65.Conor mac Nessa's worst fears were to eventually come to fruition as the Red Branch Knights of Ulster were to also come to aqn end with the demise of Cu Chulann. Fidelma Nocrothaig / Noichrothach - of the Ever New Beauty / the Nine Times Beautiful, who was the daughter of 65.Conor mac Nessa the Irian King of Ulster, who was to be the mother of Erc and his sister Achall, was to also die of absolute shock on coming down from the Ulster Province and personally seeing Cu Chulann's severed head at Tara.

9 AD The reign of *78.Criffan / Crimthann Niadh - Nar the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 100th King of Tara / Ireland, came to an end this year.

9 - 14 AD *Cairbre Cean Cait became the Fir Bolg 101st King of Tara / Ireland during this period of time and after his death, Morann mac Cairbre, his son was then offered the Kingship of Ireland, but he refused, and instead became the Chief Judge / Brehon of Ireland who believed in One God. Morann mac Cairbre had been originally born with a physical abnormality, which had caused his father to have him cast into the sea, where he was to be washed ashore by the action of the waves and was then saved and reared by a smith / gabhann who was to eventually restore him to his father and in time he was to become so revered as a Brehon judge among the Irish Septs that he had been able to give directives to *79.Feradach Fionn Feachtnach the future Celtic Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 102nd King of Tara / Ireland to follow, which would be recorded in the Book of Leinster / Leabhar na Nuachonghbala. "Let him magnify the Truth, for it will magnify him, Let him strengthen Truth, as it will strengthen him. Let him guard Truth and it will guard him, For as long as he guards Truth, good shall not fail him and his rule shall not perish, for it is through the ruler's Truth that great Clanns are governed, Through the ruler's Truth massive mortalities of men are averted, Through the ruler's Truth mighty armies of invaders are drawn back into enemy territory, Through the ruler's Truth every law is glorious and every vessel full in his lands, Through the ruler's Truth all the land is fruitful and every child born worthy, Through the ruler's Truth there is an abundance of tall corn." Morann mac Cairbre was also to be the first to wear the revered magical collar known as Iodhain Morain, which was believed to nearly choke him if he should pass a wrongful judgment and would return to normal size if he reversed this decision.  

14 - 36 AD. *97Feradach Fionn Feachtnach became the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 102nd King of Tara / Ireland, who was a son of *78.Criffan / Crimthann Niadh - Nar, the previous Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 100th King of Erinn

20 / 27 AD  7 years of peace had finally occurred in the Ulster Province after conflict with the Leinstermen, and then suddenly a great darkness came over the whole of Ulster unusally during the daytime and 65.Conor mac Nessa the Irian King of Ulster summoned Bacharach who was now his Chief Druid who could not come up with any explanation for the cause of this unusual phenomenon. Later on Althus the Roman Consul in Briton was to visit Emain Macha and he informed 65.Conor mac Nessa what had occurred during that time in Jerusalem when the Earth became dark during the day, stating that it had actually been the day that a prophet and seer known as Jesus Christ had been executed, who had been condemned by the Romans to die although he was innocent of any crime. "Was there no one there to defend him,?" he cried out , "If I had been there with my Ulster Red Branch warriors they would not have killed him for I would have scattered his foes and saved the World of light and truth," then all of a sudden he leapt up in anger and grabbing his sword he suddenly went beserk shouting and slashing at the nearby trees and bushes until the pressure of it all finally caused the brain - ball of Mesgedra that was still firmly imbedded in his head to burst forth and he immediately fell dead on the ground. From that time on it would be 206 years until the reign of *85.Cormac mac Airt the first true Christian Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn 115th King of Tara / Ireland.

36 AD. *79.Feradach Fionn Feachtnach - Truthful and Sincere was to die a natural death this year who had been the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 102th King of Tara// Ireland, and a son of *78.Criffan / Crimthann Niadh - Nar the previous 100th King of Tara / Erinn who was descended from *60.Coffey / Cobthach Caol Breagh - the Slender of Brega the previous 69th King of Tara / Erinn, the direct male line ancestor of the Ui Cobhthaigh Septs who had been one of the 2 most important aristocratic warrior sons of *59.Hugoney / Ugaine - the Great the 66th King of Tara / Erinn descended from *37.Eremon the direct male line ancestor of all of the hEremonian / Heremonian Septs.

 36 - 39 AD. *Fiatach Fionn mac Daire  became the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 103rd King of Tara / Ireland who had previously been the King of Ulaidh / Ulster.

39 AD *Fiatach Fionn mac Daire the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 103rd King of Tara / Ireland who had previously also been the King of Ulaidh died who was to become the direct male line ancestor of the Heremonian Dal Fiatach Sept there in the Ulster Province and many of the future Heremonian Kings of Ulaid / Ulster.

39 - 56 AD. *80.Fiacha / Fiachu Fionn Ola became the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 104th King of Tara / Ireland, who was a son of *79.Feradach Fionn Feachtnach the previous 102nd King of Tara / Ireland.

       Ireland at this time was also divided into 5 (Coiced) Fifths, Sreng's Fifth / Connacht, Southern Munster, Western Munster, Leinster, and Ulster and there was to be a revolt by the vassal tribes against *80.Fiacha Fionn Ola's rule and he was killed by *Eilomh the son of Conrach from the Gaelic Milesian Irian Rudican Sept who was a descendant of 37.Ir, who would become his Irian successor to the Kingship, and Eithne the daughter of the Celtic King of Alba / Scottish Highlands who had been married to *80.Fiacha Fionn Ola and was pregnant fled to her father for sanctuary. The combined numerous disaffected Septs in Ireland, who are now known generically as the "Aithech Tuatha Daorchanna" in a false gesture of pretending to bring about peace throughout Ireland had invited all of the Gaelic Kings to a banquet at Magh Croin in Co. Galway in Sreng's Fifth / Connacht Province were they were slaughtered and a great revolt then occurred throughout Ireland, carried out against the aristocratic warrior Gaelic leadership by the many disaffected subordinate Septs, which also included many of the Celtic Fir Bolg Septs.     

56 - 76 AD *Eilomh was the Gaelic Milesian Irian 105th King of Tara / Ireland, who was a son of Conrach. and he was to rule Ireland for 20 years until he was to be slain in the Battle of Aichill (The Hill of Screen) near Tara by the young *81.Toole / Tuathal Teachtmhar, the son of *80.Fiachra Fionn Ola the previous Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 104th King of Tara / Ireland and Eithne, who was then able to bring all of the Chiefs and Kings in Ireland to submission.  

76 - 106 AD *81.Toole Teachtmhar became the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 106th King of Tara / Ireland and was married to the daughter of Sgaile Balbh the Celtic King of Albion / Briton, and he had previously been in a long exile since the death of his father, *80.Fiachra Fionn Ola the previous Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 104th King of Tara / Ireland while the whole of Ireland had been in a constant state of turmoil, and on reaching his maturity, and as their rightful ruler the aristocratic warrior Gaels had beseeched him to return to Ireland and bring order back to the Country, and he with the assistance of his grandfather the Celtic King of Alba / Scottish Highlands, and his own followers, after being involved in 110 battles all over Ireland restored the previous ruling Celtic Gaelic aristocratic warrior leaders and their heirs / Tanaistes to their provincial kingdoms. He constructed 4 fortresses in the portions of the territories taken from the other 4 Provinces, in what was to become his own personal kingdom in the Midlands / Midhe / Meath in the south of Northern Leinster, now composed of Co. Westmeath, Co. Meath, Co. Longford and Co. Louth. One of the fortresses was on the Hill of Uisneach / Rathaconradh in Co. Westmeath in the west where the first Druidic fires had been lit at Ail na Mirenn / The Stone of Divisions and where the 5 Provinces / Coiced / fifths now came together, and a major Festival / Oenach was to be held there. Uisneach was to be the centre of the Midlands that also contained the Heremonian kingdom of Brega in the east of Tara, and it was to then have 5 free kingdoms and 5 tributary kingdoms. Also Brega in the Midlands was to have 6 tributary kingdoms of its own, one of which was to belong to the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Deisi Sept descended from one of his sons, *82.Felim / Feidlimid Reachtmar - the Lawgiver who would be the future 108th King of Tara / Ireland who in turn would become the father of *83.Conn - of the Hundred Battles who was to also be the future 110th King of Tara / Ireland and the direct male line ancestor of all of the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn (People of *83.Conn) Septs / Fines / Family branches in Ireland.

        During the reign of *81.Toole Teachtmhar, endevouring to build up strong alliances especially with Leinster he married his youngest daughter, 82.Dairine to Eochy / Echu Ainchean, a son of Erc, who was then the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Cu Corb King of Leinster who took her home to Naas in Southern Leinster where he soon became convinced that he had married the wrong daughter, so he then locked her away in his palace and told everyone she was deceased and returned to Tara and told *81.Toole Teachtmhar the same story and asked for his other daughter, 82.Firthir to continue on with their alliance, who agreed, and he also took her home to Naas. 82.Dairine escaped from her imprisonment and 82.Firthir on seeing her alive was to die from the absolute shock of it all and 82.Dairine then also pined away from a broken heart at the loss of her sister. *81.Toole Teachtmhar on finding out what Eochy Ainchean had brought about besieged Southern Leinster and imposed a tremendous triennial fine / eric upon the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Ui Lughaidh Cu Corb Septs generally in the Leinster Province, of 5,000 cows, for the loss of his only two daughters and also decreed that this fine was to be then paid forever to the Gaelic Milesian Kings of Tara / Ireland, and it was from then on to be collected by the next 40 Kings of Tara naturally under great duress, and always with much hostility between them all.

      This ongoing tribute was to create many internal conflicts in the future between the Kings of Tara and the Kings of Leinster until it would be eventually remitted much later on in 695 AD by *93.Finsnechta / Fionnachta Fledach - Snow of Wine or the Festive who was then to be the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill Sil nAedo Slaine 148th King of Ireland, under the pleading of the highly respected Gaelic Milesian Irian monk, St. Moling / St. Mullen in Co. Carlow although he was to be advised not to by his confessor, St. Adomnan.
