1672 BC In the Battle of Cuill Nmartho 38.Irial "Faidh" the Prophet - defeated 4 of the sons of 37.Heber "Fionn."

1670 BC 38.Irial "Faidh"- the Prophet - became the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian 10th King of Tara - Erinn, who was one of the 4 sons of 37.Heremon, who was recorded as being a very learned person who was capable of foretelling the future and he would die after ruling for 10 years and was interred at Magh Muagh - Muai, which was a plain near Knockmoy a few miles from Tuam in Co. Galway in the south - west of Connacht. During his reign he was to build 7 Royal Fortresses, Rath Ciombaoigh, Rath Coincheada, Rath Mothuig, Rath Buirioch, Rath Luachat, Rath Croicne & Rath Boachoill and saw to the clearing of a great part of Ireland. He was to be successful all up in four major battles, one at Ard Inmath (The Height of Inmath) at Teabtha in Co. Westmeath in the south - west of Northern Leinster defeating Stirne, another at Teanmhuighe where he defeated the Fomorians - Fomoiri, and another at Loch Muighe defeating Lugrot.

1650 BC 39.Eithrial became the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian 11th King of Tara - Erinn, who was the son of 38.Irial "Faidh" the previous Heremonian 10th King of Erinn, who was recorded to have written in his own hand the history of the Badelians and he was to rule Ireland for 20 years in his own right. He was killed at the Battle of Soirrean in the Leinster Province by 38.Con "Maol" the fifth and youngest son of 37.Heber 'Fionn" who had been involved in 20 battles until he finally killed him.

1610 BC 38.Con "Maol" after becoming the Gaelic Milesian Heberian 12th King of Tara - Erinn and ruling for 30 year was to be slain in the Battle of Aunarde Tavlton by 41.Tigernmas who was a son of 40.Foll "Aich," the son of 39.Eithrial the previous Heremonian 11th King of Erinn who was a grandson of 37.Heremon. 41.Tigernmas became the Heremonian 13th King of Tara - Erinn,

 1543 BC 41.Tigernmas the Heremonian 13th King of Erinn, died, who was a son of, 40.Foll - Follach "Aich" the son of, *39.Eithrial-- Eitreol  the previous 11th King of Erinn, and he had managed to rule for 50 years during which time he won 278 battles against the Heberians descended from 37.Heber "Fionn." He had set up and worshipped the Celtic god, Crom Cruach in Co. Leitrim in Northern Connacht and he also introduced the wearing of colours or tartans to show their aristocratic rank, one for a slave, three for a warrior or young lord, six for a chief professor of the arts or King or Queen.

1500 BC Minoan or Mycenaean civilisation of the Aegean region saw trading in copper and gold south of there settled in villages with strong agricultural supplies with mainly urn cremations in flat cemeteries and producing new types of weapons and tools due to the Mediterranean influence. All the Chiefs were Indo - Europeans speaking Greek although cremation was not practiced in Greece and Urnfields were a newer concept. There were Indo - European languages and institutions and Druids with Brahmans in Hindu since the Aryan invasions of Mother India. Horse raising and names containing a horse element was by now popular. The Early Bronze Age centred around this time flourished for 200 - 300 years followed by a period of pastoralists and in the Celtic Families the children were recruited from the aristocratic warrior Families to be trained to do the fighting.

      The Celtic  Drui - singular and Druid - plural - had a knowledge of the Oak or great, deep, knowledge. Fathi - faith were inspired and ecstatic as prophets and poets, fili - Filidh - seer - poet - eulogist - who obtained prior knowledge. When choosing a new King a bull was killed and the Druid feasted and at Tara the Druid went into a trance and on recovering gave the circumstances of the rightful claimant’s approach to Tara - Tarbfeis. This was known as bull dreaming - frenzy, or trance shape shifting. The King did not speak until the Druid expressed himself first and the Druids in Ireland bore arms and were householders. Oral learning was continuous repetition by chanting simple rhythmical verse or alliterative prose forms and over the years a great body of received texts were absorbed. (This was an ancient practice among the Indo - European people living on the fringes in the outer areas.) This was the sacred nature of all learning in the ancient world and there was great merit in the accurate recitation and there was magical penalties with which departures from the true tradition were fraught. Both in Indian and Celtic traditions there was no writing down and Oral learning naturally created conservatism in the language, which then grows further apart from everyday language usage. The Brithem were the closest to the fili with the former term designating a specialist growth of the learned poetic order.

1492 BC 39.Eochy - Eochaidh “Faobhar Glas” became the Heberian 17th King of Tara - Erinn, who was a son of 38.Con "Maol" the previous 12th King of Erinn, one of the sons of 37.Heber "Fionn" and he was to rule for 20 years until he was killed at the Battle of Carman by 44.Fiacha "Labhrainn."

1488 - 1449 BC 44.Fiacha "Labhrainn" was the Heremonian 18th King of Tara - Ireland, who was a son of  43.Smiomghall, the son of 42.Enboath - Eanbhoth the son of, 41.Tigermas the previous 13th King of Tara - Erinn. During his rule the Scythian Celtic Cruithin Picts in Alba - Scotland were to be subjugated by his son 45.Angus - Oenghus "Olmucach." 44.Fiacha was eventually killed at the Battle of Bealgadain after ruling in his own right for 24 years, by 41.Eochy - Eochaidh "Mumho" also descended from 37.Heber "Fionn."  The Fir Bolg - Ernai Sept was defeated on the plain at Loch Erne in the Ulster Province, which is called after them.  41.Eochy - Eochaidh "Mumho" became the Heberian 19th King of Tara - Erinn, who was a son of 40.Mafebbis, the oldest son of 39.Eochy - Eochaidh "Faobhar Glas" the previous 17th King of Erinn.

1409 BC 45.Angus - Oenghus "Olmucach" - of the Great Swine - was the Heremonian 20th King of Tara - Erinn who was known for breeding bigger pigs then anyone else in Ireland and he was also able to force the Scythian Celtic Cruithin Gaelic Picts in Alba - Scotland to pay the tribute imposed over 250 years before by his direct ancestor 37.Heremon after he went personally into Alba and fought 30 battles there. 40.Eanna "Airgthach" aka 40.Nuadha "Deaghlaimh" eventually slew 45.Angus "Olmucach" during this year at the Battle of Carman.

   *40.Enda - Enna “Airgthach” aka  40.Nuadha "Deagh Laimh," became the Heberian 21st King of Tara - Erinn, who was another son of *39.Eochy “Faobhar Glas” the previous 17th King of Erinn and was to be the first to have silver shields made, which he bestowed upon his warriors. During the next 77 years that lie ahead the descendants of both 37.Heber & 37.Heremon were to be denied the total Kingship of Erinn as it was to be controlled instead during this period by the descendants of another of their brothers, 37.Ir, who was amongst those originally drowned during the expedition, whose Sept had been originally allocated territory in the north - east of the Ulster Province.  

1402 BC 43.Fiacha “Fionn Scothach a son of 42.Sedna descended from 37.Ir was born at Cruachan in Co. Roscommon in the east of the Connacht Province.
