130 BC - 101 BC

       *75.Eochy / Eochaidh Aireamh - the Ploughman the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 93rd King of Tara / Erinn had 3 sons, 76.Bress, 76.Lothar and 76.Nar, who are known as The Fineamhas / 3 Branches, who were triplets, and he also had 3 daughters, one of whom was 76.Maeve / Medb who was to initially marry 64.Conor mac Nessa the Gaelic Milesian Irian King of Ulster who she was to find totally unbearable, and she was then to return home to her father who was to find her a new consort in Ailill the aged King in the nearby Connacht Province / Sreng's Fifth. *75.Eochy Aireamh later on become known as *75.Eochy Feidlech - of the Constant Sighing, when he was forced to put down a rebellion being carried out by his 3 sons, who in a drunken stupor previously had ravaged one of their sisters, 76.Clotherne. Whether that was the cause of their conflict or not they were to come up against each other at Ath Cumair, a ford near Mullingar in Co. Westmeath in the south - west of Midhe / Northern Leinster in what is now known as the Battle of Dramouach / Dromcue and his 3 sons were killed during the fighting, and from then on he was in constant distress over their deaths. The Septs who were in the adjacent territory there in the west , on the other side of the River Shannon in Connacht / Sreng's Fifth, then rebelled against him also, so he had decided to set up his daughter, 76.Maeve as the Queen of Connacht to overcome their opposition and to make it official he married her to Ailill / Oilioll the aged King there, who was a son of Conrach who had also been the King there before him, and who had previously built the royal residence of Rath Cruachan near Garrick on the River Shannon in the east of Sreng's Fifth in that part of Connacht, that is now known as Co. Roscommon. Not long after this marriage the aged Ailill died, and 76.Maeve, who was still a young widow, became a very independent Queen in Connacht in her own right, and she decided to go looking in the Heremonian territory nearby in Southern Leinster for a husband that would actually suite her for a change. Ross Ruadh - of Red Complexion was at that time the King there who had his fortress at Naas in Co. Kildare in Central Southern Leinster, which was the ancient residence of the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Ui Lughaidh Cu Corb Kings of Leinster, which was also considered a great meeting place for the Heremonian Septs  / Fines there. This was where they held their Assemblies / Oenachs and she was to select Ross Ruadh's younger son, as her consort, who was also known as Ailill, and their marriage was to be fruitful and she was to eventually produce many sons and one daughter to the younger Ailill on returning to rule in Connacht / Sreng's Fifth.

116 BC *75.Eochy Aireamh / Feidlech had ruled as the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 93rd King of Tara / Erinn for 12 years until he was killed at Tara after previously dividing the kingdom of Ireland back into 5 Provinces, and with his death a great slaughter of his own people was to occur. He was a son of 74.Fionn, who had been descended from 67.Enda / Eanna Aigneach the previous 84th King of Tara / Erinn and therefore of 37.Eremon (Heremonians.) His death had come about due to the fact that he had built a palace at Fream Hainn / The Hill of Frewin in Port Lomard in Co. Westmeath in the south - west of Northern Leinster to be independent of Tara for his own family, as under the Brehon Law Tara went to the next reigning King of Tara / Erinn. The territory there where he had constructed the palace actually belonged to the Feara Cul Sept of Tethbae situated in the south - west of Meath / Midhe in Northern Leinster who had not been asked to use the sight although they had been involved in building it originally, and Mormael their King was so upset about this that at the next Feast of Samhain in November at Tara, he was to personally kill *75.Eochy Aireamh the 93rd King of Tara / Ireland without being seen. The Feara Cul Sept then blamed his death on a Tuatha de Danann Sept who were situated nearby led by Siogmall from the Sidh Neannta in Co. Roscommon, whose territory was on the western side of the River Shannon in the east of the Connacht Province. The Feara Cul involvement in his death was eventually discovered and they all then fled to the west en - masse across the River Shannon into Connacht / Sreng's Fifth where they settled in the south of Connacht on the border of Co. Galway and Co. Roscommon. This was to eventually lead onto another stage in future Irish history as they were to remain there for the next 300 years until *85.Cormac mac Airt was to come out of exile in Connacht at that particular time, to begin to assume the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Cuinn 115th Kingship of Tara / Ireland in 225 AD after first being involved in displacing *58.Lewy mac con who had previously killed his father, *84.Art - the Lonely the 112th King of Ireland, who had then became the Gaelic Ithian 113th King of Tara / Ireland. *85.Cormac mac Airt at that particular time was to invite the Feara Cul Sept to accompany him back into Connacht to act as his personal bodyguard, and when he became the 115th King of Tara / Ireland he was to give them new territory back in Midhe / Meath to the north of Tara at Kells / Ceanannus Mor were they would then become known as the Feara Cul Breagh - of Bregia in Co. Meath in the south - east of Northern Leinster.       

     64.Fergus / Fearghus mac Roigh Mor, was a son of another 63.Ros Ruadh - of Red Complexion the previous Celtic Gaelic Milesian Irian King of Ulster whose  mother was Roich, and he was also a grandson of *62.Rory  / Rudhraidhe Mor - the Greater previous 86th King of Tara / Erinn, and an Irian Knight of the Red Branch / Craobh Rua Warriors of Ulster. After the treacherous deaths of the 3 sons of Uisneach, at the direction of his cousin and usurper, 64.Conor mac Nessa who was by then the King of Ulster in his own right, 64.Fergus mac Roigh who had personally guaranteed their safety had left the Ulster Province in disgust of 64.Conor mac Nessa's conduct and went to the west with his followers into the Connacht Province / Sreng's Fifth were he was well received there by 76.Maeve and her husband the younger Ailill, the son of another Ros Ruadh who was at that time the King of Leinster. (This particular Ailill would be eventually killed by Lewy / Lughaidh his brother because of jealousy.) 65.Cormac Conloingeas - the Exile, who was the son of 64.Conor mac Nessa had also been upset after his father's treachery and he was to also go to Connacht to escape his father's wrath.       

        mac Datho the King of Leinster owned a hound that was coveted by 64.Conor mac Nessa the Gaelic Milesian Irian King of Ulster, and also by Ailill and 76.Maeve / Medb the Heremonian King and Queen of Sreng's Fifth / Connacht Province, and he promised it to them all individually, and to this end he invited them all to a feast to collect it on the same day where there was a pig on the menu, and Briccriu said it should be divided according to their martial accomplishments, and Cett came forward and challenged anyone present to contest with him for it, or he would be the one who would carve it up to suite. 68.Conall Cearnach - of the Victories the leader of the Irian Red Branch Warriors of Ulster who were descended from the Tuatha De Danann, then arrived, and although Cett soon submitted to him, he still bragged that if his brother, Anulan, was present he would be the one to do so, as he was far superior to both of them, and this spurred 68.Conall Cearnach then to produce the head of Anulan, which he then flung at Cett who then left the gathering in a hurry.  

       N.B: Erc was a son of 64.Conor mac Nessa's daughter, 65.Felimy / Fedelmid Nuachruthac - of the Ever New Form and of Cairbre Niafear the King of Erinn?  Deichtine, another daughter of 64.Conor mac Nessa, acted as 64.Conor mac Nessa's charioteer. (64.Conor mac Nessa's sword was known as Gorm Glas). 76.Maeve who was a sister to triplets was to also give birth to triplets, 65.Corc, 65.Con Mac and 65.Siar whose father was to be 64.Fergus Mor.

    When 64.Conor mac Nessa the Gaelic Milesian Irian King of Ulster was dying he was to call on his son, 65.Cormac Conloingeas - the Exile to return to the Ulster Province to become the future King of Ulster after him, and although he was to be warned by a young maiden along the way of the treachery that lay ahead he was to continue on and be killed by men from the Connacht Province / Sreng's Fifth.      

      *75.Eochy / Eochaidh Aireamh / Fedlech the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 93rd King of Erinn had also previously produced another daughter from his own daughter, 76.Ess, and he had wanted to discard the child and gave her to 2 of his men to dispose of her in a pit, but when she laughed they lost the heart to do it and they placed her instead in a hut belonging to a calf - herdsman where she was fostered by him and became known as 76.Mess Buachalla - the Cowherd's Foster Child. (Her carer turned out to be a subject of *Eterscel / Eidersceoil who was then the great - grandson of Iar a previous King of Tara / Erinn ?).

 116 - 111 BC. *Eterscel / Eidersceoil was the Celtic Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 95th King of Tara / Erinn in his own right, but he was still childless, and as 76.Mess Buachalla was by then growing up, some of his householders chanced to see her out and about and had noticed that she had grown into a beautiful maiden and they informed *Eterscel of this fact. This was pertinent because he had previously been informed by his Druids that a woman of unknown pedigree would bear him a son, and he then sent for her, and she bore him a son who she was to raise in secret who would become *Conaire 1st Mor - the Greater the future Celtic 97th King of Tara / Ireland from 110 - 40 BC. Later on *Conaire 1st Mor was to be fostered by Donn Desa who was a King of Leinster who was also to be his Champion, and he was to grow up with Donn Desa's 3  sons, Fer Le, Fer Gair and Fer Rogain, who were a wild and rambunctious lot, but despite this they were to share their life together. After *Eterscel was to be killed in battle, a Tarbh Feis / Feast was held, where a bull was to be killed and eaten, to discover who would be the new King, while a Druid was to consume the meat and drink a broth composed of the meat, and whoever he would then see in his sleep was to be the one who he would proclaim as the future King of Tara / Ireland. While the Druid was sleeping he had a dream of a naked man travelling along the road to Tara in a chariot who also had a stone in a sling.

111 - 110 BC *80.Nuadhas Neacht the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Ui Lughaidh King of Leinster, became the Celtic Milesian Gaelic 96th King of Tara / Erinn after he had killed *Eterscel / Eidirsceal the 95th King of Tara / Erinn at Ailenn near Kilcullen in Co. Kildare in Central Southern Leinster. It had now been 12 generations since 80.Nuadhas Neacht's Ui Laoghaire direct male line ancestor *68.Leary / Laoghaire Lorc had been the 68th King of Tara / Erinn. *80.Nuadhas Neacht was a son of 79.Setna / Sedna Silhbhaic who had also constructed the royal fortress there at Allan / Rath Alinne, who had been the son of 78.Lewy / Lughaidh, who was to be the future direct male line ancestor of the 86.Cu Corb Ui Laoghaire Ui Lughaidh Kings of Leinster, whose territory was to be on the northern side of the River Barrow from Drogheda in Co. Louth in the north - east of Northern Leinster down to Co. Wicklow in the south - east of Southern Leinster. *80.Nuadhas Neacht was to also be the father of 81.Baoisgne / Baiscni, who would become the direct male line ancestor of the Clann Baoisgne, the father of 82.Eltan, the father of 83.Snaelt, the father of 85.Trenmor, the father of 86.Coole / Cumhall whose mother, Baine, was a daughter of Scal the King of Sacsa. She was also to be the mother of *79.Felim / Feidhlimidh Reachtmar - the Lawgiver the future Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 108th King of Tara / Ireland who would be the direct male line ancestor of the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn and Desies Septs. In turn 86.Coole's son would be come 87.Finn mac Coole / Fionn mac Cumhaill the future leader of the Fianna Warriors in the 3rd Century AD who was to be the father of 84.Oisin the celebrated poet and Fianna Warrior. His daughter, 85.Samar / Samhair was to marry 85.Cormac Cass the future Heberian 2nd King of Munster who would be the direct ancestor of the Dal gCais / Dalcassians in their kingdom of  Thomond / Northern Munster. The ancient royal fortress of Naas in Co. Kildare in Central Southern Leinster was either named after the wife of Lugh the Tuatha De Danann King or *80.Nuadhas Neacht, whose other son 81.Fergus Fairge would become the next link to 86.Cu Corb the direct male line ancestor of the Cu Corb Kings of Leinster. *80.Nuadhas Neacht was to be killed by *Conaire 1st Mor, the son of *Eidirsceal /  *Eidersceoil / *Eterscel, the previous Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh  95th King of Tara / Erinn, who was then to become the the 97th King of Tara / Erinn in his own right.

      When the time came to choose the new King of Tara / Erinn, *Conaire 1st Mor, was commanded by Nemglan to go to Tara along with his 3 foster - brothers who were the sons of Donn Desa, to attend the bull - feast, but the 3 brothers were totally engaged in games on the Liffey Plain, *Conaire 1st Mor then had to proceed to there on his own in his chariot towards Dublin leaving his foster - brothers to carry on with their own particular pursuits. Naked and with his sling he headed off for Tara, and on the way there he was stopped by 3 Irish Kings who gave him his aristocratic warrior clothes to put on, and on his arrival at Tara he was to be declared by Nemglan as the new Heremonian King of Tara / Erinn. Although many complicated taboos or prohibitions (known as geasa) were placed on him, there was to be great peace in Ireland during his rule, until he was to be forced to break these geasas by the devious actions of his 3 previous young companions. One of these geasas was that he was not to sleep in a house from which firelight could be seen after Sunset.  

  110 - 40 BC *Conaire 1st Mor - the Greater became the Celtic Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 97th King of Tara / Erinn, who was a son of *Eterscel / Eidirsceal, the previous 95th King of Tara / Erinn, and his mother 76.Mess Buachalla, a daughter of 76.Ess, a daughter of *75.Eochy / Eochaidh Aireamh / Fedlech the previous Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 93rd King of Tara / Erinn. During his reign *Conaire 1st Mor was to be subjected to a whole series of prohibitions / geasa, which if broken could bring rejection, shame, and painful death, and he also had his own personal singing sword. His 3 foster - brothers the 3 sons of Donn Desa full of their connection and own importance now began carrying out raids throughout the districts and *Conaire 1st Mor as the 97th King of Tara / Erinn was forced to reprimand them, and while doing this he was to spare their lives while condemning their fellow - offenders to death, breaking one of his own geasas (prohibitions). He eventually decided to send them off into exile instead, into Alba / Scottish Highlands where they still carried on with the same mischief there, and they also became pirates on the Irish seas while waiting for something to happen to *Conaire 1st Mor so they could return to Ireland.
