over the burning ambitions of the

Ui
mBriain O Brians, until he was to be eventually slain by
one of their Septs in a
dispute in
1138 AD.
1125 AD The ambitions of *114.Turlogh O Connor the Dal Cuinn Ui Briuin Ai Siol Muireadhaigh / Sil Murray Ui Conchobair 55th King of Connacht was continuing to gain momentum and this year he also divided the O Melaghlin's Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill kingdom of Meath / Midhe in the south of Northern Leinster again, but this time into 4 parts, to continue to reduce their overall influence in Conn's Half and any ambitions they still held towards the KIngship of Ireland and he also expelled the Dal Cuinn "southern" Ui Niaill Clann Cholmain King, giving 3 parts of the territory there to other lesser Kings from the same lineage, and the 4th part to his ally and kinsmen, 113.Tiernan O Rourke the Dal Cuinn Ui Briuin Breifne King of West Breifne who had his territory nearby in Co.

Despite this imposition, once again, as
fate would have it, his

1127 AD Monks from the Benedictine Order had earlier arrived in
Co. Down in the south - east of the Ulster Province from
