1400 BC the Iron Age really began in Anatolia as a new way of smelting iron on a larger scale was developed.

1357 BC 47.Rotheachtach became the Heremonian 22nd King of Tara - Ireland, who was the son of 46.Maoin, and he ruled for 25 years until he was slain at Rath Cruachan by 42.Sedna from the Irian Tuath, and four - horse chariots and silver shields were used during his rule.  42.Sedna became the Irian 23rd King of Tara - Erinn, who was a son of 41.Artrach descended from 37.Ir. At this time they had the Royal Palace at Cruachan in Co. Roscommon in Eastern Connacht.

    43.Fiacha "Fionn Scothach" became the Irian 24th King of Tara - Erinn, who was a son of 42.Sedna the previous 23rd King of Erinn.

1332 BC 43.Fiacha "Fionn Scothach" the 24th King of Erinn, the son of 42.Sedna, was killed by 46.Munmo, descended from 37.Heber. *46.Munmo - Munmoin - Muineamhon - became the Heberian 25th King of Tara - Erinn, after 7 generations of no Heberian access to the Kingship for 77 years since 1409 BC. He was a son of 45.Cas "Clothac," a son of 44.Fear "Ard" aka 44.Aireo "Arda, "a son of 43.Rotheacta, a son of 42.Rossa, a son of 41.Glas the son of *40.Enda - Enna Airgthach” aka 40.Nuadha "Deagh Laimh" their last King who was the previous 21st King of Tara - Erinn. 46.Munmo was the first King of Erinn to have his nobles wear gold necklaces and he was to rule for 14 years until he died at Lethargy near Magh Ard Lone.

1327 BC 46.Munmo the 25th King of Erinn, died, who was the son of 45.Cas "Clothac" descended from 37.Heber.  47.Fualdergoid became the Heberian 26th King of Tara - Erinn, who was a son of 46.Munmo, who ruled for 10 years and had the nobles wear gold rings.

1317 BC 44.Eochy - Eochaidh aka 44.Ollamh Fodhla - Doctor of Wisdom, became the Irian 27th King of Tara - Erinn, who was the son of 43.Fiacha "Fionn Scothach," and ruled for 40 years instituting the Feis Teamhrach - Assembly of Tara every 3 years to make laws, reform abuses and revise any previous decisions and to keep genealogies and chronicles and to purge them of any corruption and falsehood since they were last recorded. This Assembly was to continue to meet up until 1172 AD after the Anglo - Norman Invasion and another was even held near Newry in 1258 AD. A Chieftain was appointed over every Cantred - Family territory and a Brughaid over every Tuath - Family region. 44.Eochys descendants were to continue to be among the Irian Kings of Tara - Erinn for the next 250 years against the interests of the descendants of 37.Heber and 37.Heremon. ￿￿

1300 BC - 500 BC Was the period known as the Late Bronze Age as there was by now a Bronze industry with new working and casting techniques, new weapons and tools and a wider use for metals than before as a whole new range of bronze implements and weapons such as socketed axe - heads and swords appeared in Ireland. The first hill - forts and ring - forts were begun to be constructed signalling the Hallstatt Celtic Culture, which was to only first occur in Central Europe in the 7th Century BC. Crannogs or artificial islands with palisades on all sides were being constructed in the middle of the lochs - lakes in Ireland. Bronze swords and bronze socketed - axes came into use about the same time as Celtic cohesion was occurring.

1300 BC before the end of this period north of the Alps from Bohemia to the River Rhine region true Celtic origins began as interrelated events occurred and the Upper Danube changed as regards to material culture and the burial rite in the bottomlands of the Upper Danube especially in Austria and Bavaria in the south - west of Bohemia. These were settled farmers different to the pastoralists with a new higher standard of farming as prior to this they lived in rectangular wooden houses in a village or large homestead groups surrounded by earthworks or palisades. They became the forerunners of sedentary mixed  farming practices in Europe. Their dead were cremated and their broken bones placed in urns for burial in a flat cemetery that was large and these became known as Urnfields. Civilisation spread widely on bottomland around the Upper Danube around the Swiss Lakes, in the Upper and Middle Rhine Valleys and spread further west and north expanding slowly. In the north Alpine Urnfield province central to Southern Germany and Switzerland the Celts were a mixture of Old & New Cultures who became continuous throughout Celtic history.  Raids were widespread by land and sea around the Eastern Mediterranean and many villages were abandoned and new settlers appeared in the Upper Danube region and there was large scale Copper mining in the Eastern Alps.

1277 BC 44.Eochy - Eochaidh aka “Ollamh Fodhla, the Gaelic Milesian Irian 27th King of Tara - Ireland, died, who was a son of 43.Fiacha "Fionn Scothach," and he left behind 5 sons.

1260 BC Before this period in time a Ring - Fort at Mooghaun was constructed until 930 BC in the south of Co. Clare in the north - west of Munster then physically still in Southern Connacht with widely spaced ramparts with stone walls outmost surrounding an area of 45 acres - 18 hectares and later on in modern times a great haul of golden artefacts would be discovered there.

1200 BC During this period there is evidence of a new group of people arriving in Ireland who had better tools and weapons and they lived in wattle and daub huts while building stockades and the crannogs in the lochs - lakes for protection. A living area used by the inhabitants, during this period in time at Templepatrick in Co. Antrim in north - east Ulster covered an area of 300 yards in diameter and it was to be eventually excavated also in the 20th Century AD. There they also found the remains of Neolithic period items, which included, flints, axes, pieces from the Bronze Age and many artefacts. 

1030 BC *49.Siorna "Saoghalach" - of the Long Life was the Heremonian 34th King of Tara - Erinn, who was the son of 48.Dein and he ruled for 21 years until he was slain at Ailin by 51.Rotheachta descended from 37.Heber "Fionn." 51.Rotheachta became the Heberian 35th King of Tara - Erinn, after another 97 years of no Heberian access to the Kingship of Erinn, who was a son of 50.Ronnach, the son of 49.Failbhe "Iolcorach" who was the first to have stone walls built around each of the individual Gaelic Family's territories. In turn he was the son of 48.Cas “Ceadchaingneach” who was a learned man who revised the study of the Laws, Poetry & Sciences originally promulgated under 37.Amergin the Ollamh - Druid - Learned man - who was the oldest Gaelic Milesian brother who had survived the second expedition along with his 2 younger brothers 37.Heber "Fionn" & 37.Heremon. These arts had been allowed to decline since the death of 37.Amergin who had been slain in battle later on also by his brother, 37.Heremon, not long after 37.Heber's death. 48.Cas's father had been 47.Fualdergoid the previous Heberian 26th King of Tara - Ireland.

 

1023 BC 51.Rotheachta the Heberian 35th King of Erinn, was killed by lightning, who was a son of 50.Ronnach descended from 37.Heber "Fionn."

 

1022 BC *52.Eiliomh “Ollfhionach” aka Felim - Feidhlimidh became the Heberian 36th King of Tara - Erinn, who was a son of 51.Rotheacta the previous 35th King of Erinn, who after only one year of rule was killed in battle by 51.Giallchad descended from 37.Heremon. 51.Gillachad became the Heremonian 37th King of Tara - Erinn, who was a son of 50.Ailill - Oilioll "Aolcheoin," the son of 49.Siorna "Saoghalach" - of the Long Life the previous 34th King of Erinn descended from 37.Heremon.

 

1013 BC 51.Giallchadh the Heremonian 37th King of Tara - Erinn, who had ruled for 9 years, was slain in the Battle of Moighe - Magh Muadh by 53.Art "Imleach" to avenge his father's death. 51.Giallchadh had been a son of 50.Ailill "Aolcheoin" the son of 49.Siorna "Saoghalach" - of the Long Life the previous Heremonian 34th King of Erinn. 53.Art "Imleach" became the Heberian 38th King of Tara - Erinn, who was a son of 52.Eilomh "Ollfhionach" the previous 36th King of Erinn descended from 37.Heber "Fionn."
