14th Century AD
To the Anglo - Norman - English the
"Irish" were classed as "Enemies" and the "Anglo -
Irish" as "Rebels."
Co. Wexford, Co. Wicklow, Co. Kilkenny and Co. Carlow
in
Southern Leinster,
and
Co. Meath
in the south - east of Northern
Leinster
were just too close to
"The English Pale"
surrounding Dublin in Co. Dublin
in the north - east of Southern Leinster, and the Anglo -
Norman de Clare
Earldoms were to be weakened by the division of law, and those who were
by now beginning to
feel Anglo - Irish scrambled for
power because of this. There was to be
endemic war and associated transgressions,
as
refugees fled from the "Land of War"
(Irish territories) to the "Land of
Peace"
(The English Pale) and no legislation could force them back out into the
frontier. Frontier /
frontura or gaps appeared between the English colonised
Irish territories and those
still
beyond their grasp, where
the Irish Septs were viewed as their "Enemies," especially in the land of the
"Absentees."
Despite this because of its proximity to the Counties
surrounding
"The English Pale,"
Northern Co. Tipperary in the north - east of the
Munster Province was also lost, while in the south of Co. Tipperary
and the adjacent region nearby in Co. Kilkenny, the
English Confiscations and Plantations
continued to survive.
New Gaelic Milesian dynasties
were to arise this Century, such as the
Heremonian
Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Cuinn Colla
da Crioch Maguires in
Co. Fermanagh in the south - west
of the
Ulster Province, and
their close kinsmen, the
Heremonian
Ui Cobhthaigh
Dal Cuinn Colla da Crioch Mac Mahons in Co.
Monaghan in Southern
Ulster. The
O Ciassarts / Ui Ciassart who
were a Sept / Family branch around 1302 AD had their territory
around
Co. Derry in
Northern Ulster where because of the
inability of the
Norman English to penetrate there
they continued to hold sway in that region.
The Heremonian
Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Cuinn
"Northern"
Ui Niaill
Cenel nEogain O Kanes
/ Ui Cahans were also in
the Co. Derry area, and the
Heremonian
Ui Cobhthaigh
Dal Cuinn "Northern" Ui Niaill
Cenel Conaill O Dohertys who were at
Inishowen were
also still
going strong. The Anglo -
Norman de Courcys were still surviving on the
coastal region in
Ulster, and the Anglo - Norman Bysets were the Lords of the Glens of Antrim
there, while the
Anglo - Norman
Savages were the Lords of the Ards, and the
Anglo - Norman
de Mandevilles were the Lords of the Route in the north
of
Co. Antrim
where they had by now also adopted the Gaelic
Brehon Law and the Gaelic
name of Mac Quillan (Descended from a Son of Ugolin de Mandeville.)
Edward 1st
Longshanks the 5th Plantagenet Norman
King of England, (1272 D - 1307 AD
raided
Scotland again, and the
English Earl and many of the
Galls / Foreigners in Ireland and previously committed
Gaels went in a fleet to join him and they conquered
Scotland
this time around.
The
de Berminghams who were
Anglo - Norman Barons had built
4 Castles all in
Co. Kildare
in Central Southern Leinster all in sight of
each other at Carbery,
Mylerstown, Kinnaford, and
Carrick and were to
also eventually
Gallicize their surname to
Mac Feorais (Descended from a Son
of Piers),
which was later on also anglicized as
Corish.
Turlough
O Brian
who was now the
Heberian
Dalcassian
Ui mBriain
King of Thomond / Northern Munster, died, and was buried in the Ennis
Abbey and his son
Donough O Brian became the
new King
of Thomond and together with his kinsman,
Donnell
/ Domhnall
"Bawn"
O Brian he was to attack
Thomas de Clare the Anglo Norman English Baron and his
Irish allies in
Co. Clare on many occasions
over the following years.
Thomas de Clare was to make great
use of his persuasive "switching" power of taking the
opportunity, due to the disruption to the Brehon Law, of putting the
Irish Dal gCais
Septs up against one another in their struggle for individual authority
of their Sept in their
main stronghold of Co. Clare in the north - west of
Munster Province and on one occasion they were to be defeated
at Dysert O Dea in
Co. Clare
by their own kinsman,
Murtough
O Brian.
