 Ulster Province: The Celtic Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Conaire Dal Riada Sept, who were descended through 89.Eochy / Eochaidh Riada / Cairbre Riada, one of the 3 sons of *88.Conaire 11 the 111th King of Tara / Ireland who were also initially descended from *37.Eremon, had their original territory in Co. Antrim in Ulster Province still in the north - east of Ireland, while the extended territory originally of the Dal Riada was directly also 13 mile across the Irish Sea in the Highlands of Scotland, and by now they were coming under greater pressure in their territory in Co. Antrim exerted by their Heremonian kinsmen, the Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill Cenel nEogain Sept. They too were descended initially from *37.Eremon, but by now more directly from 91.Eogan the 1st King of Aileach, and they had their original territory also in Ulster nearby in Co. Derry in the north - east as 91.Eogan had been one of the 8 sons of *90.Niall - of the Nine Hostages the 126th King of Tara / Ireland who is the direct male line ancestor of all of the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Niaill Septs in Ulster. The Celtic Gaelic Milesian Irian Dal nAraide Sept also still had their original territory there in Co Antrim in the north - east of Ulster, but were situated further down towards Bangor in Co. Down where they were descended from *62.Rory Mor the previous 86th King of Tara / Erinn and therefore from 37.Ir. who had been one of *37.Eremon's brothers.

      The Heremonian Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill Cenel nEndae Sept were descended through 91.Enda, who had been a brother to 91.Eogan the ancestor of the "northern" Ui Niaill Cenel nEogain, making them both 2 of the "northern" Ui Niaill  3 sons of *90.Niall - of the Nine Hostages the previous 126th King of Ireland who both had their original territoryalso in Northern Ulster, but the Cenel nEndae were by now also being squeezed or absorbed as their territory was in the central - north west in between the Cenel nEogain territory in the north - east, and the territory of their other "northern" Ui Niaill brother, 91.Conall Gulban the ancestor of the Cenel Conaill Sept, whose territory was in the north - west in Tir Conaill / Tyrconnell / The Land of 91.Connell now known as Co. Donegal / The Fort of the Strangers. The Cenel nEogain Sept were also expanding their territory further from out of Co. Derry down into the central - north of Ulster into what actually became Tir Eogain / Tyrone (The Land of 91.Eogan). The Heberian Cianacht Sept descended from 85.Cian who was in turn descended from *37.Eber Fionn, the other initial Gaelic Milesian brother had territory also at Keenaught / Cianacht in the central north - east in Ulster and below them, and over time the Cenel nEogain would eventually take in this territory also while another of their Heremonian kinsmen, the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Colla Da Crioch Ui Cremthainn Sept, who were descended from 88.Murray / Muireadach Colla Da Crioch / Fo Crith - of the Two Countries, had their territory above Enniskillen in Co. Fermanagh in part of their wide spread 3 Colla kingdom in Ulster of Orghialla / Airghialla / Oriel. The Eastern Dartraige Sept were also situated near Newtown Butler, and the Heberian Cianacht Gailenga aristocratic warrior Sept were further down in the south in Co. Cavan, with the western Dartraige Sept in the south - west while the Ui Mac Cairthinn Sept also had their territory below the Cenel nEogain Sept to the west of the Heberian Cianachta, with the Cenel mBinnig Sept to the south - east of the Cenel nEogain Sept, and the Cenel Lugdach Sept were in the far north - western corner of Ulster above the Cenel Conaill Sept. The Fir Maige Itha Sept had their territory below the Cenel nEndae Sept, and the Cenel mBogaine Sept had their territory on the far west coastal region with the Cenel Conaill Sept, while the Dal Cuinn Ui Fiachrach Arda Stratha Sept was to the east of the Fir Maige Itha, with the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Ui Mac Uais Sept below them, and the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Colla Da Crioch Ui Thuirtri Sept to the east of them and in the east of Tir Eogain / Tyrone. The Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Fiatach Sept and the Ui Echach Arda Sept were below the Gaelic Milesian Irian Dal nAraidi Sept and Bangor on the south - east coast, with the Heremonian Dal Fiatach Leth Cathail Sept below them, and they would eventually also shift to Duneight / Dun Echdach, while the Irian Ui Echach Cobo Sept, who were close kinsmen to the Dal nAraidi Sept, were to the west of both of those 3 Septs. Further to the west of them still in Ulster were the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Colla Da Crioch Airthir Sept, who were also to the east of their close kinsmen the Colla Da Crioch Ui Cremthainn Sept, but above the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Colla Mend Mugdorna Maigen Sept who were in Co.

The Cola Mend Mugdorna Maigen Sept who were also in Co. Monaghan / Moynihan in southern central Ulster, who were descended from another of the 3 Colla brothers, 88.Colla Mend, and they were to be cut off from the territory of their close kinsmen the Colla Mend Mugdorna Breg Sept. This would be caused by the Colla Da Crioch Fir Rois Sept who would expand their particular territory from out of Co. Monaghan further to the south - east into central Co. Louth in the Ardee region, as they were also close kinsmen to the Colla Da Crioch Airthir Sept near Co. Armagh. The Heremonian Dal Cuinn 3 Colla kingdom of Orghialla / Airghialla / Oriel was to be confined to Co. Fermanagh, Co. Armagh and Co. Monaghan in Southern Ulster, and also nearby to the south into part of Co. Louth which is in the north - east of Northern Leinster. The Colla Da Crioch Ui Thuirtri  kingdom in the east of Co. Tyrone in Central Ulster would overtime also be absorbed into the expanding Cenel nEogain and their kingdom of Ailech.

     The Heremonian Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill Cenel nEogain Sept were to now become more connected to Tir Eogain / Tyrone in Central Ulster, while their close kinsmen in the north - west of Ulster, the Dal Cuinn "northern" Ui Niaill Cenel Conaill was to also be cut off now in Co. Donegal in their kingdom of Tir Conaill / Tyrconnell (The Land of 91.Conall) and because of this they could from now on only expand their territory into the south - west into the region of Northern Connacht.

  Connacht Province: In the east the Cairpre Dromma Cliab Sept, descended through 91.Cairbre / Coirpre another of the 8 sons of *90.Niall - of the Nine Hostages the Heremonian Dal Cuinn 126th King of Tara / Ireland who was initially descended from 37.Eremon, also had a separated territory in the far - north above one of the Calraige Septs.

       The religious problem of the Easter date was settled, and that of the monk’s being able to wear their tonsure from ear to ear, and this was to also see the end of the monastery period in Ireland, with Kells / Ceanannus Mor in Co. Meath in the south - east of Northern Leinster becoming the seat of a Bishop / supervisor until the year 1300 AD. 300 Saints had by now been unofficially created in Ireland who were in reality the original founders of the Catholic Celtic Churches. Also during the first half of this Century most of the round towers / belfries were to be constructed due to the constant Teutonic Viking attacks and the territories of the Ulaid, the Mumu and the Laighin / Linn Septs were to also have the Norse term of Tir / Land of - added to their names and become known as Ulster, Munster and Leinster while Connacht remained (The Land of the People of *83.Conn). 

     It was during this Century also due to the pre - dominance of the Heremonians, especially the 8 Ui Niaill Septs, and the imposition of the Teutonic Viking disruption to the Irish Brehon Law that the position of a High King of Ireland was to become a reality, over the previous situation under the Brehon Law of no such a position actually existing. Celtic tradition had made it hard for the Celtic Irish Septs to combine, as they had always preferred to be independent and responsible for doing their own thing. Although the Roman pressure in Gaul, and the Teutonic Viking pressure in Ireland at this time was to change all of this, unfortunately it would still not be soon enough to be ready for the Teutonic Anglo - Norman English onslaught that lay ahead in the 12th Century AD.
