200 BC - 140 BC
200 BC
First
Belgic migration
into Albion - Briton
occurred
with the Germani known along the Rhine - Celtic settlement east of the river and
Celtic place names as far east as the Weser and the Elbe. It was a
tribal Celtic
name used for all intruders, who had an Army in Gaul
(France and part of Spain)
later on during Caesar’s time from across the Rhine, and
the oblivion of the Celts was to now occur under the might of
Roman Military expansion,
except in Ireland.
There were also incursions into Gaul
by the Cimbri Septs and the Teutons, which created a defendable conglomeration
of dwellings. Tribal areas in Gaul were
very
large, as they were earlier in Northern Italy,
as opposed to those Tuaths in
Ireland, with
60 Tribes in Gaul mobile and
warlike from the Hallstatt and
La Tene Cultures. The Boii
Sept who remained in Bohemia and also settled in to Northern Italy were later to migrate into
Gaul also. The Volcae Sept were next to the Boii
Sept in Middle
Europe and may have been part of the Volcae Tectosages Septs who were in
Southern Gaul and Asia Minor while the Senone Septs were in Northern Italy and in
Northern Central Gaul. The Suessione Septs were in Central
Spain and in Belgic Gaul and the
Briturigie Septs were in two different areas, south of the Lorre and west of
Gironde.
From the 2nd BC to the 1st Century BC the whole of Gaul - France were
Celts who
were in retreat from across the Rhine as
the
oblivion of
the Celts was begun by Roman expansion, once again, except in
Ireland.
At this time the
Gaelic Milesian
Irian Ulaid
Septs in
Ulidia
in the north - east of Ireland,
descended from 37.Ir,
had made Ulster the superior
Province
- Cuigi with their capital at
Eamhain Macha
-
Armagh - but would in time lose out to the
Connacht
Province
- (Sreng's Fifth) in the west under the
Heremonian Septs.
The Celtic
La Tene Culture from the second Iron Age, which had
originated in Switzerland in the 6th Century BC,
also started to appear in Ireland
and the remains of Barbary apes from this period in time have been found in
Co. Down
in the south - east of
Ulster brought there then by traders.
198 BC
72.Lewy -
Lughaidh
“Luaidhne" or "Luaigne" was the
Heberian
89th King of Tara
- Erinn, who was a son of
71.Ionadmhar the
previous 87th King of Tara - Erinn,
and to divide and conquer he now imposed
2 Kings on the
Irian Ulaid Septs in the Ulster
Province,
Congal "Clairingneach," a
son of the former King of the south - eastern part and
Fergus
mac Leide in the north - eastern part. Owing then to the increased
hostility that was to then occur because of their individual rule the other
Ulaid Chiefs met together at
Eamhain Macha
- Armagh
and invited both of them to a feast intending to kill them both out of the
way so that they could then elect their own single King who they would then
support against 72.Lewy the
89th King of
Tara - Erinn
if he should object. While the feast was being held
Fachtna "Finn" the chief
poet of the Ulaid
discovered their plan and had all the other chief poets of
Ulster sit
between the 2 Kings and those who intended to assassinate them, and they held back in respect.
Congal "Clairingneach" seeing the assassins
nearby asked Fachtna
what was going on and he told him, so he then stood up and offered to surrender
up both of their authorities to 72.Lewy so that he would set up a single King who would be
suitable to all of the Ulaid
Septs.
The poets and the 2 Kings then went to Tara where 72.Lewy's daughter fell for
Fergus
mac Leide and so 72.Lewy appointed him although it was
against the
ancient Brehon Law as Congal
was the elder of the two. Congal
outraged
left Tara and gathered together all those who were disaffected from the exiles
of Alba - Scotland, and when he met up with the
72.Lewy's son he cut off his head in defiance of his father and he was then forced
to go into exile himself. After a few years he returned to Dundrum in
Co. Down in the south -
east of Ulster when
Fergus
mac Leide was at Cathair Boirche,
which was the fortress of Eochy
- Eochaidh
"Salbhuide" the King of the territory in
Southern
Co.
Down
and he
destroyed it and everyone in it and went on to Tara were he challenged
72.Lewy the Heberian 89th King of Tara - Erinn, which
began a battle were 72.Lewy was defeated after
ruling for 15 years and was beheaded by
Congal.
Congal
"Clairingneach"
became the
Gaelic Milesian Irian
90th King of
Tara - Erinn in his own
right also and ruled for 15 years.
195 BC
The Roman Military forces on the Continent had
by now subdued the Celts of
Cis - Alpine Gaul (France) and introduced them further to the Latin language and the old Celtic
schools of the Druids then continued to spread Latin throughout the Celtic
Septs.
192 BC
Roman Military supremacy was by now through out
Cis - Alpine Gaul (France) and this saw
the end of Cisalpine Gaulish independence with the Romans also defeating the
Boii Septs at their stronghold at Bologna.
182 BC
Congal
“Clairingneach" was still the
Gaelic Milesian Irian 90th King of
Tara - Erinn.
175 BC
The Catuvellauni
Septs who were
Belgic settlers in
Albion -
Briton were the original
tribal clients of the Remi when the Romans conquered Gaul.
168 BC
74.Duach
“Dalta Deagdhaidh” was the
Heberian
91st King of
Tara - Erinn, who was a son of 73.Cairbre
"Lusgleathan," a son of
72.Lewy -
Lughaidh
“Luaidhne or Luaigne"
the previous
89th King of Tara
- Erinn.
He
had a younger brother named
74.Deagha,
whose eyes he was to have removed for coming between him
and the Kingship making him ineligible and for which he
received his nick-name.
74.Duach was to be
the
last of the older generation of Heberian
Kings,
who had up until his time produced 33
Kings of
Tara - Erinn, descended
originally
from *37.Heber
"Fionn."
There would not be another from their
male line until
89.Criffan
- Crimthann mac Fidaig the
future
Heberian Eoghanacht
King of
Munster
was to achieve
this
once again through the intercession of his sister, 89.Mongfind in the
4th Century AD.
It would then also be 30 generations after this
before another,
105.Brian
"Boru" - of the Tributes
-
from the Heberian Dal gCais
Ui Bloid Ui Turlough
Sept was to become
the next Gaelic Heberian
170th High King of
Ireland in 1004 AD.
During the rule of 74.Duach the
Erainn,
who were a
Fir Bolg
Sept, were to be forced out of the
Ulster
Province
to the south into the territory of the
Heberians
and
74.Duach in good
faith gave them a region there in which to settle and thereby laid the
groundwork for future conflict to come much later on in the early
2nd Century AD for his
Heberian
descendants.
158 BC
74.Duach "Dalta Deagdhaidh" the Heberian 91st King
of Tara - Erinn, the son of
73.Cairbre "Lusgleathan" was
killed in battle by his
Irian
successor, who became the
92nd King of Tara - Erinn
who was descended from 37.Ir.
150 BC
Ulidia
- Ulaid in the
south - east of
Ulster Province from
where it derives its name included Downpatrick - Dun Da Lethglaise in Co. Down, which was to be the kingdom
of the Dal Fiatach Sept descended from
90.Forgg mac Dallain.
In the north - east section there was to be the kingdom of the
aristocratic
Irian Dal n Araide Sept, based
on the Celtic Cruithin
Septs
centred on Co. Antrim,
who were
originally descended from 37.Ir
and 62.Rory "Mor" the
previous
Irian 86th King of Tara - Erinn who had died in 218 BC
and later on through his descendant, 90.Crond
“Ba Drui.“
The Celts at this time began to migrate
also into Southern Briton
- Albion
and also to become the Basques in Spain who were
"Q" speaking
Celts and not "P" speaking as the earlier tribes had been and were a round
skulled and long skulled mixture of Celts and pre - Celts.
142 AD
72.Eochy
- Eochaidh "Feidlech" -
"Feidlioch" Aireamh"
became the Heremonian 93rd King of
Tara - Erinn,
who was one of the 2 sons of
71.Fionn
and Benia the daughter of Criffan - Crimthann, who was a son of
70.Fionnlogh, the son of
69.Roighen "Ruadh" - the Red, the son of 68.Assaman
"Eamhna," the son of 67.Enda - Eanna
"Aigneach" the previous 84th King of Tara - Erinn
in 292 BC. Conor
- Conchobar mac Nessa was
a sub -
King of Ulaid
who was a son of Fachtna
the King of Ulster,
who was subject to 72.Eochy,
but he was to eventually rule over the
Ulster Province and the Red Branch Knights of
Ulster,
At this time Curoi mac
Daire was the
King of Munster,
Mesgegra was the
King of Leinster and
Ailill &
73.Maeve - Medb
were the King & Queen of Connacht.
72.Eochy
"Aireamh"
the
Heremonian 93rd King of Tara -
Ireland
had built his palace at
Fream Hainn
-
The Hill of Frewin -
in Port Lomard in
Co. Westmeath
in the north - west of
Northern
Leinster
to be independent of Tara for his own family, which always under the
Brehon Law went to the reigning King. The territory
there belonged to the
Feara Cul
Sept of
Tethbae
who had not been asked to use the sight
although they had been involved in building it originally and Mormael
their
King
was so upset that at the next Feast of
Samhain,
in November, he was to kill
72.Eochy
the
93rd King of Tara - Ireland
without being seen
and the
Feara
Cul
Sept then blamed his death on a
Tuatha de Danann
Sept in the person of
Siogmall
from the
Sidh Neannta
in
Co. Roscommon whose territory was across the River
Shannon
in the east of the Connacht Province.
The
Feara Cul
involvement in the crime was eventually discovered and they all fled
to the west en - masse across the
River Shannon themselves into
Connacht
and settled there in the south on the border of
Co. Galway & Co. Roscommon.
They were to remain there for the next 300 years until
82.Cormac mac Airt
was to come out of exile in
Connacht
to assume the
115th Kingship of Tara
-
Ireland in
225 AD
after displacing
58.Lewy mac Con the then
113th
Ithian
King
of Tara - Ireland,
when
82.Cormac
was to
then invite
the
Feara Cul
Sept to act as his bodyguard. When he
became the
115th King
of
Tara - Ireland
he was to give them territory north of Tara at Kells -
Ceanannus Mor
- were they became the
Feara Cul Breagh
of
Bregia
in
Co. Meath
in the north -
east
of
Northern
Leinster.
