Kildare in Central Southern Leinster, but he was then replaced again by Henry VIII in Ireland, as just like his father before him he was seen to be too close to the Gaelic Irish people but Henry V111 was to soon find that to replace him with an English Lord Deputy and use an English Military force in Ireland to try and  gain total control over the Gaelic Irish Septs was to be just too expensive, and he decided to encourage his protégé, Piers Butler the English eighth Earl of Ormonde, to try and reduce the overall influence that the ninth Earl of Kildare had in Ireland.   

1522 / 23 AD There was still great conflict in Ireland, especially in the north between O Nialls from the Heremonian Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill  Cenel nEogain Sept and Magnus O Donnell from  the Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill Cenel Conaill Sept over who now had the overall authority in the Ulster Province and the Heberian Dalcassian Septs in Co.

During this particular conflict over sovereignty the Cenel nEogain O Nialls were to lose nearly 900 of their men, which was to be in fact another great loss to the Gaelic Irish Septs and a further gain to the overall purposes of the English Galls.

Magnus O Donnell realised that he did not have the numbers to match this great combined force, so he decided to besiege them during the night, so he left the horses behind and approached his enemies on foot at Knockavoe where he went up against the forces of O Niall who he was able to defeat and kill the Scotch mercenaries, the Septs from Connacht, and the English Galls and their galloglasses from Northern Leister also.

1525 AD Henry VIII the English Welsh Tudor King, had gone through his father's previous vast accumulated monetary legacy, and was once again broke for a third time over his Wars with France, while trying to retrieve territory there that in reality had always belonged to the French Kings anyway, which had been pushed along by his own personal desire to gain overall Imperial power and he now began to make outward moves, as opposed to his previous secret agendas, towards his schemes to boost his personal coffers substantially in one foul swoop, and from now on he was to attack anyone and everyone, and kill whoever stood in his way and the final total of those who he was to kill was to be 72,000 people. He was to confiscate the Catholic Church Institutions and their lands to obtain their revenues, and place himself at its Head by forcibly introducing his own Catholic Church of England in England, Ireland and Wales in his greedy lust for more money, and to gain their territory and buildings to bring it in, and this was to also have really bad repercussions for the Catholic religion in Scotland, especially in the Lowlands. This was not to be a Revolution of Protest as such, as had been carried out by Calvin and Luther who were ordinary Catholic monks incensed with the introduced rules of the hierarchy of the Catholic Church, to try and bring about reform. This was to be solely a monetary opportunistic plan to massively increase his own personal wealth once again, to continue on with his Imperial Empire ambitions, which he was now able to pull off due to his special dictatorial position, using his absolute total power and ruthlessness, over his subjects to impose his own individual will on the general populations who were now under his overall Imperial control.

     Aed O Donnell, the son of Aed Ruadh - of Red Complexion O Donnell, and Conn O Niall, the son of Conn O Niall, went to the Great Council being held by Garrett Oge Fitz Gerald the ninth Anglo - Irish Earl of Kildare and English Justicar, composed of the English Galls and the leaders of the Gaelic Septs, but consensus failed and they left without a compromise and Aed O Donnell from his kingdom and territory of Tyrconnell / Co.

      Another great change now also occurred at this time in the scheme of things, as the Kings of Europe agreed to a Concordat that gave them the mutual power of appointing the religious monks to particular monasteries in their own Countries and this was to bring in religious "political" appointments, instead of those who were personally dedicated to their religion and good works, and this change bought about a great decay in religious service in the British Isles and their previous responsibility to the ordinary common man.

The combined forces of the O Connors and their kinsmen the Mac Donaghs then tried to take the Sligo Castle until Rory Ballach O Hart, the son of O Hart / Ua hAirt, was killed and they left the region, but returned later to burn the crops there and besiege the town.
