1111 AD *108.Murtogh Mor O Brian the Heberian Dal gCais 44th King of Cashel / Munster and 180th King of Ireland - with opposition was at this time in Dublin in the north - east of Southern Leinster in his position as the overall King of Mogha's Half (Southern Leinster and the Munster Province / Southern Ireland) and Gilbert the Catholic Bishop of Limerick, who was the second Papal Legate to Ireland, presided with him over a reforming Synod at Rath Breasail that was conducted by the Cistercian monks who had just recently arrived into Ireland and they now divided the Irish society into 3 distinct groups, Those who Pray, Those who Fight, and Those who Work. They also divided the Catholic Church in Ireland into two halves, whereby Armagh in Co. Armagh in the Ulster Province was to be the main See, and Cashel in Co. Tipperary in the north - east of the Munster Province the secondary See and each of these were then also divided into 12 Dioceses, allocated to different provisional kingdoms, which included the Connor Diocese in Co. Armagh in the Ulster Province, while the boundaries of the Ossory Diocese was to be in Co. Kilkenny in the south - west of Southern Leinster. Also attending was Kelly / Ceallach the Abbot of Armagh who was from the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Colla Da Croch Ui Sinaig Sept, which had previously controlled the Abbacy of Armagh for over 100 years as the main religious centre, who himself personally had recently also taken up Holy Orders, which meant that he had broken with their tradition as the previous Abbots had only ever been laymen. Later on another religious Synod would also be held at Kells in Co. Meath in the kingdom of the Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill in the south - east of Northern Leinster. The territory also of the Heberian Cianachta Gailenga Sept and Luigni Sept to the south of the Ox Mountains in the north of the Connacht Province now became the Achrony Diocese, where the Heberian Cianacht O Garas and O Haras were to become very prominent there well into the 17th Century AD.

       O Cane / O Kane / Ua Cathain who was the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill Cenel nEogain King in his territory there also took over the territory of the Heberian Cianachta Fir Li Sept who had their kingdom nearby in the north - east of the Ulster Province, which was situated below the territory of his kinsmen the Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill Cenel nEogain Septs, and he then also became the Dal Cuinn King of the Heberian Cianachta Glinne Geimhin Sept and both of these Septs were aristocratic warrior origins who had initially originated in the Munster Province from 85.Keen / Cian one of the sons of 84.Ailill Oluimm the 1st King of Munster who is the direct male line ancestor of all of the Cianachta Septs

      Kelly from the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Colla Da Crioch Ui Sinaig Sept was now the Catholic Bishop of Armagh in the Ulster Province after taking Holy Orders as the Abbot of Armagh breaking with his Sept's previous tradition.

1112 AD Murtogh O Kennedy was now the Heberian Dal gCais Ui Bloid Ui Turlogh King of North - Eastern Munster / Ormond in Co. Tipperary in the Munster Province.

1113 AD *109.Donnell Mac Loughlin / Domhnall Mac Lochlainn the Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill Cenel nEogain 51st King of Aileach and 179th King of Ireland - with opposition, whose rule was mainly restricted to the north in the Ulster Province, deposed 110.Donogh mac Dunlevy / Donnchad mac Duinnshliebe the Heremonian Dal Fiatach 59th King of Ulaid who had his territory in the north - east of Ulster, who he also blinded at the same time and to further weaken the Dal Fiatach Sept there, and exert his own personal overall authority there, he then divided the territory of the Dal Fiatach Sept between the Dal Cuinn Colla Da Crioch O Mahons / Ui Mathgamain and 110.Donogh mac Dunlevy's brothers. He did not interfere with the Gaelic Milesian Irian Dal nAraidi Sept who were by now well in decline also there anyway, who were all originally descended from 37.Ir, and their sub - Sept the Ui Echach Cobo, as he was mainly intent on reducing the authority of the more dominant Dal Fiatach Sept, while gaining the overlordship of the territories of these 2 eastern kingdoms in Ulster.

      114.Donnell mac Donogh mac Gilla Patrick (Fitz Patrick) the Heremonian Ui Connla King of Ossory in Co. Kilkenny in the south - west of Southern Leinster died this year, who was a son of 113.Donnchad mac Donnell / Domhnaill a previous King of Ossory and Donogh mac Gilla Patrick / Donnchad Mheic Giolla Patraic (Fitz Patrick) was now to become the new Heremonian Ui Connla King of Ossory until 1123 AD, who was a son of Gilla Patraic Ruadh - of Red Complexion a previous King of Ossory.

1114 AD *108.Murtogh Mor O Brian the Heberian Dal gCais Ui mBriain King of Northern Munster / Thomond, who was still the 44th King of Cashel / Munster and 180th King of Ireland - with opposition was now weakened by illness, and he lost his position as the King of Cashel / Munster, and his nephew 109.Donnell / Domhnall O Brian became the new 44b King of Cashel / Munster, who was a son of 108.Teague / Tadhg O Brian who had been the previous 42a King of Cashel / Munster, who had also been a brother to *108.Murtogh Mor O Brian.

      The Viking Danes burnt down another church this year near Emly in Co. Tipperary in the north - east of the Munster Province.

1115 AD 109.Donnell O Brian the newly elected Heberian Dal gCais Ui Bloid Ui Turlogh Ui mBriain King of Northern Munster / Thomond and the 44b King of Cashel / Munster had a very short reign as he was to die this year and he had been a son of 108.Teague O Brian the previous 44a King of Cashel / Munster who had died in 1086 AD, who had been one of the 3 sons of *107.Turlogh O Brian the 43rd King of Cashel / Munster and 178th King of Ireland who had also died in the same year in 1086 AD. 109.Donnell O Brian's father, 108.Teague O Brian was a brother to *108.Murtogh Mor O Brian the previous King of Northern Munster / Thomond, the 44th King of Cashel / Munster and the 180th King of Ireland, and also of 108.Diarmait O Brian who would become the future 45th King of Cashel / Munster. This was to see the end of 109.Donnell O Briain's particular U Turlogh Ui mBriain male line extending from 106.Teague O Brian, the previous older surviving son of *105.Brian Boru to the Kingships. *108.Murtogh Mor O Brian, his uncle, was able to recover from his illness this year also and he reclaimed his titles as the Heberian Dal gCais King of Norhern Munster / Thomond and 44th King of Cashel / Munster.

      *114.Turlogh O Connor the Dal Cuinn Ui Briuin Siol Muireadhaigh / Sil Murray Ui Conchobair 55th King of Connacht was now growing even stronger and he too also divided the nearby kingdom of Meath / Midhe in the south of Northern Leinster to further impede the previous overall authority of the Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill Clann Cholmain Kings there and thereby try and remove any chance that they also may have had to regain back the overall Kingship of Ireland.

     112.Donogh mac Murrogh / Donnchad mac Murchada the Heremonian Cu Corb 63rd Ui Cheinnselaig King and the 56th King of Leinster, died this year, who was a brother to 112.Donnell / Domhnall mac Murrogh the previous 52nd King of Leinster who had died previously in 1075 AD, which had also ended his particular male line to the Kingship. He was also a brother to 112.Enda / Enna mac Murrogh who was to be the father of another 113.Diarmait Mac Murrogh who now became the new Cu Corb Ui Cheinnselaig 57th King of Leinster. Their father had been 111.Murrogh / Murchad the previous 51a King of Leinster who had died in 1070 AD the progenitor of the Mac Murroghs in Southern Leinster, who was a son of *110.Diarmait mac Mail na mBo - of the Many Cattle the previous 51st King of Leinster who had died in 1072 AD after reviving the fortunes of the Ui Cheinnselaig Sept's male line and possibly becoming the unofficial 177th King of Ireland - with opposition. They were all initially descended from 94.Enda / Enna Cennsalach / Kinsella who had been the 2nd King of Leinster and the direct male line ancestor of the Ui Cheinnselaig Sept and 95.Criffin / Crimthann the 1st Ui Cheinnselaig King and 3rd King of Leinster who had died in 483 AD. 112.Donogh mac Murrogh was to also be the father of the infamous 113.Diarmait Mac Murrough na Gall - of the Foreigners, who would become the 59th King of Leinster and be responsibnle for eventually bringing the Anglo - Norman English into Ireland.   

1116 AD *108.Murtogh Mor O Brian the King of Northern Munster / Thomond who was once again the 44th King of Cashel / Munster and 180th King of Ireland - with opposition was deposed again, and this time he entered the monastery at Lismore in Co. Waterford in the south - east of the Munster Province, and his brother; 108.Diarmait O Brian became the new Heberian Dal gCais Ui mBriain King of Northern Munster / Thomond and 45th King of Cashel / Munster.

     *114.Turlogh / Tairdelbach O Connor the Dal Cuinn Ui Briuin Ai Siol Muireadhaigh / Sil Murray Ui Conchobair 55th King of Connacht was by now seeking any further opportunities to gain the overall authority for himself in Ireland, and this year he was to besiege the fortress of the Heberian Dalcassian Ui mBriain O Brians at Kincora in Co. Clare in the north - west of the Munster Province and by destroying it he was now able to assert his authority over the Dal gCais Sept as another step on the ladder towards obtaining the overall Kingship of Ireland for the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Briuin Sept, which was totally unexpected.

1117 AD 113.Diarmait Mac Murrogh / Mac Murchada the Heremonian Cu Corb Ui Cheinnselaig 57th King of Leinster, died this year, who had been a son of 112.Enda / Enna mac Murrogh, another of the 3 sons of 111.Murrogh the previous 51a King of Leinster the direct male line ancestor of the Mac Murrogh Sept in Southern Leinster, who had been one of the 2 sons of 110.Diarmait mac Mail na mBo - of the Many Cattle the previous 51st King of Leinster and unofficial 177th King of Ireland - with opposition. (This was also to see the end of his particular Ui Cheinnselaig male line to the Leinster Kingship).

      113.Enda / Enna Mac Murrogh who was now the 64th Ui Cheinnselaig King became the new Heremonian Cu Corb 58th King of Leinster, who was one of the 2 sons of  112.Donogh / Donnchad mac Murrogh, the previous 56th King of Leinster, who himself was one of the 3 sons of 111.Murrogh / Murchad the 51a King of Leinster  the original ancestor of the Mac Murroghs and 113.Enda Mac Murrogh was to also be a brother to the particular entity, 113.Diarmait Mac Murrough na Gall - of the Foreigners who would be the catalyst for bringing the Anglo - Norman English into Ireland and the 900 years of constant oppression on all things Irish.

    Two of the Heberian Dal gCais Ui Bloid Ui Turlogh O Kennedy Chiefs from their kingdom of Ormond / North-Eastern Munster were killed while in a conflict with the men from the Connacht Province.

1118 AD 108.Diarmait O Brian who was now the Heberian Dal gCais King of Northern Munster / Thomond and the 45th King of Cashel / Munster, died this year, who was one of the 3 sons of *107.Turlogh O Brian the previous Heberian Dal gCais King of Northern Munster / Thomond, the 43rd King of Cashel / Munster and the 178th King of Ireland and 108.Brian O Brian now became the new King of Northern Munster / Thomond and 46a? King of Cashel / Munster, who was a son of 107.Murrogh O Brian, the previous 42a King of Cashel / Munster, one of the 2 sons of *106.Donogh mac Brian the 42nd King of Munster. (He had been the younger surviving son of *105.Brian Boru the 175th High King of Ireland and 110.Gormlaith). 108.Brian O Brian too, also died this year, and this was to end his particular Ui Turlogh Ui mBriain male line from *106.Donogh O Brian to the Kingships and 109.Turlogh O Brian became the new Dal gCais 46th King of Cashel / Munster, who was a one of the 3 sons of 108.Diarmait O Brian the previous King of Northern Munster / Thomond and 45th King of Cashel / Munster.

1119 AD St. Malachy O Morgair when he was young had attached himself to Imar, a hermit, and his intensive piety by this time had been brought to the notice of Kelly / Ceallach the Dal Cuinn Colla Da Crioch Abbot and Catholic Bishop of Armagh, and he was later ordained, and because of his earnest piety and commitment to religious reform, after his death he was to become Ireland's first official Papal Saint.

      *108.Murtogh Mor O Brian the previous Heberian Dalcassian Ui mBriain King of Northern Munster / Thomond, the 44th King of Cashel / Munster and 180th King of Ireland - with opposition, died this year, at Killaloe in Co. Clare in the north - west of the Munster Province and was interred there, just as *114.Turlogh O Connor the Dal Cuinn Ui Briuin Ai Siol Muireadhaigh / Sil Murray Ui Conchobair 55th King of Connacht decided to lay siege to the Munster Province destroying Kincora the previous Ui mBriain capital at Killaloe and also occupied the fortress at Killaloe personally, and the great days of the Heberian Dal gCais Sept and of the Munster Province were to also to begin to unravel and come to an end. *108.Murtogh Mor O Brian's son, 109.Conor na Catharach O Brian became the new King of Northern Munster / Thomond who was to reign until 1142 AD, while his other son, 109.Turlogh O Brian was also installed as the Prince / Tanaiste of Northern Munster / Thomond. (Their eventual demise would see the end of their particular Ui mBriain male line also from 106.Teague O Brian, (the previous oldest surviving son of *105.Brian Boru the 175th High King of Ireland and Eachraidh after the Battle of Clontarf.) to *108.Murtogh Mor O Brian as the Dal gCais Cashel / Munster Kings also.

       109.Conor na Catharach O Brian the new Heberian Dal gCais King of Northern Munster / Thomond endeavouring to push himself forward to be the next Dalcassian King of Cashel / Munster also (and possibly a chance at becoming the King of Ireland) laid siege to Southern Leinster to try and assert his own position in the new scheme of things in Mogha's Half and he also took the opportunity to subdue the Viking Danes in Waterford in Co. Waterford nearby in the south - east of the Munster Province and also in Dublin, which had all previously been ancient Heberian subject territory in Mogha's Half. While 109.Conor Catharach O Brian was away on his expedition this was to allow *114.Turlogh O Connor the Dal Cuinn Ui Briuin Ai Siol Muireadhaigh / Sil Murray Ui Conchobair 55th King of Connacht  to put him also in his place by once again attacking the O Brian fortress at Killaloe in Co. Clare. (At this time, 109.Donogh O Brian, who was a son of 108.Diarmait O Brian the previous 45th King of Cashel / Munster, was the Catholic Bishop of Killaloe.)

      Meanwhile because of the demise of *108.Murtogh Mor O Brian, *109.Donnell Mac Loughlin / Domhnall Mac Lochlainn the Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill Cenel nEogain 51st King of Aileach in the Ulster Province and 179th King of Ireland - with previous opposition was now allowed to continue to rule in Ireland in his own right for the next 2 years until 1121 AD.

1120 AD Sitric Silkbeard who had been the half - Viking King of Dublin in the early 11th Century AD had constructed a monastery on Inis Patrick at Skerries and the ruins are still there to be seen, and he had also begun the construction of Christ Church Cathedral there in Dublin and St. Patrick had originally landed on that island and stayed there for 3 weeks in 432 AD before crossing over daily onto Red Island where his footprints were carved into the rock.

1120 AD - 1150 AD The Book of Leinster was composed during this period containing the conflicts between the Viking Danes and the Milesian Gaels and also the genealogy of the Heberian Dal gCais Ui Bloid Ui Turlogh Ui mBriain up until  this year, and was to be later continued on until 1130 AD when the the previous genealogy, legend and history of Ireland, was to be expanded in the Book of Ballymote in 1391 AD and the Book of Lecan in 1416 AD.
