225 AD 58.Lewy - Lughaidh mac Con the Gaelic Ithian 113th King of Tara - Ireland was killed by Feircis, a son of Coman "Eces," this year.

     The Septs in the Ulster Province during this time were the Heremonian Dal Riada - riata Sept in the north - east of Co. Antrim and the Dal Fiatach Sept below them, the Dumnonii Sept were in the Connacht Province and the Cianachta on the east - coast in Co. Dublin in the north - east of Southern Leinster. The Menapii Sept and the Coriondi Sept were further down on the east - coast in Southern Leinster and the Auteini Sept were in Co. Clare in the north - west of the Munster Province, which was then still part of Southern Connacht. The Gangani Sept were on the eastern side of the River Shannon in the north of Co. Limerick in the mid - north - west of Munster and the Usdiae Sept were in the centre in Southern Leinster. The Brigantes were in Co. Waterford in the south - east of Munster and the Velabri Sept were below Limerick in the mid - north - west of Munster, the Iverni Sept were in Co. Cork in Southern Munster and the Erainn above them across Southern Munster.

        72.Eochy - Eochaidh "Aireamh" - the Ploughman - previously in 130 BC who was during that period in time the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 79th King of Tara - Erinn had built his palace at Fream Hainn (The Hill of Frewin) in Port Lomard in Co. Westmeath in the south - west of Northern Leinster to be eventually independent of Tara, for his own family, which always under the Brehon Law was given over to the present reigning King of Tara - Erinn. The territory there at Fream Hainn at that time had actually belonged to the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Feara Cul Sept of Tethbae, who had not been asked to use the land there 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 had killed 72.Eochy "Aireamh" the 79th King of Tara - Ireland and was able to escape from the scene undetected. The Feara Cul Sept then tried to blame his death on Siogmall from the Tuatha de Danann Sept from the Sidh Neannta in Co. Roscommon in the east of the Connacht Province but the participation of the Feara Cul Sept in the crime was eventually discovered and they all panicked and fled to the west across the River Shannon into Connacht. Once there they had then settled in the territory on the border of Co. Galway & Co. Roscommon where they had by this period in time remained for 300 years but their situation was to change at this time and they would once again cross the River Shannon and return to Mide - Meath through the intercession of 82.Cormac mac Airt the new heir apparent.

 

225 AD 82.Cormac mac Airt, who was the son of 81.Art the Lonely the previously deceased 112th King of Tara - Ireland was to now come out of exile in the Connacht Province himself to begin to assume his rightful position as the Kingship of Tara - Ireland and was also to be personally involved in displacing 58.Lewy mac Con the reigning Gaelic Ithian 113th King of Tara - Ireland. To this end, 82.Cormac mac Airt was to invite the Feara Cul Sept to act as his bodyguard and when he later achieved his aim and became the Heremonian Dal Cuinn 115th King of Tara - Ireland he gave them new territory of their own to the north of Tara at Kells - Ceanannus Mor were they became then known as the Feara Cul Breagh Sept - of Bregia - in Co. Meath in the south - east of Northern Leinster instead.

226 AD 58.Lewy - Lughaidh mac Con was deposed from his position as the Gaelic Ithian 113th King of Tara - Ireland and Fergus - Fearghus "Dubh Deadach" - of the Black Tooth - became the new Gaelic Milesian Irian 114th King of Tara - Ireland, who was a son of Imchad, but he would only rule for one year as he was to be killed in the Battle of Crinna in the Midlands in Co. Meath in the south - east of Northern Leinster by Lewy - Lughaidh "Lagha," who was standing up for the rights of the new heir - apparent, 82.Cormac mac Airt, the son of 81.Art the Lonely the previous 112th King of Tara - Ireland. As the Irian Sept then fled across the territory in Breagh in retreat Fergus "Dubh Deadach's" two brothers were also killed, Fergus the Long Haired & Fergus the Fiery aka "Caisfhiaclach” - of the Crooked Teeth. 86.Teague - Tadhg mac Cian, a son of 85.Cian, one of the sons of 84.Ailill “Oluimm" the Heberian 1st King of Munster, and Lewy - Lughaidh “Lagha” took 82.Cormac mac Airt's part on this occasion with 86.Teague mac Cian receiving the territory at Magh Breagh - The Plain of Breagh - for his Heberian Cianachta Sept as a reward from 82.Cormac. (This was a large territory extending from the River Liffey in Co. Dublin in north - east Southern Leinster northwards to Drumskin in Co. Louth in the north - east of Northern Leinster.

     Prior to all of this occurring Teague - Tadhg the Druid had opposed the marriage of 82.Cumhal - Coole a Prince from the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Sept descended from 80.Nuadhas “Neacht” the Heremonian 96th King of Tara - Erinn to his daughter, Murna, so 82.Coole had abducted her and Teague was to persuade 82.Cormac mac Airt ? to go after him and a struggle occurred between 2 of the Heremonian Clanns who made up the Fianna - Fenian (Wild Animals) Warriors of Eirinn. The Clann Mhorna was led by Goll - Gaul mac Morna, named as such as he only had one good eye, from the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Cuinn Sept, aka - Goll of the Blows, and the Clann Baoisgne led by 82.Coole - Cumhal from the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Sept and they fought it out in the Battle of Knock - Cnucha - Castleknock near Dublin and 82.Coole was killed by the Clann Mhorna. The remaining members of the Clann Baoisgne were then pursued and they scattered and 92.Coole's wife, Murna - Morna was to later bear him a son who was originally named, 83.Deimne - Demna who was to be reared in the Slieve Bloom Mountains in secret by Bodmall a Druidess, in fear that Goll mac Morna or the Clann Morna might hear of him and kill him also, in case he was to seek revenge later on. 83.Deimne mac Coole grew up to become an outstanding athlete in this high mountain region and because of his looks became known as 82.Deimne "Fionn" - of Fair Complexion - and eventually found his way along the banks of the River Boyne where he came upon the pool of Segais - Fec's Pool the Shannon Pot then believed to be the source of both the River Boyne and the River Shannon, and into which the hazel nuts believed to contain the elements of Truth & Wisdom fell, to be consumed by the fish there who are known as the "Salmon of Knowledge." In the meantime, Fionn - Finegas the Druid and Soothsayer had been living there for 7 years while trying to catch one of the salmon in the water there as he had long ago heard of a prophesy that a man named "Fionn" would be successful in this endeavour and gain great knowledge and because of his own name he had personally begun the quest there. He offered the young 83.Deimne mac Coole the opportunity to assist him, who soon caught one of the fish and gave it to Finegas who then had 83.Deimne boil it for him telling him not to eat any of it. 83.Deimne was to later inform him that while he was cooking the salmon, a blister arose on the skin of the fish, so he had pressed it down with his thumb and it had scalded him and he had then immediately put it in his mouth to ease the pain. The old man then asked him if he had any other name and he told him "Fionn" so the old man then said, "You must be the one prophesized, so eat the whole of the salmon yourself and gain the knowledge prophesized." 83.Deimne later returned to the remaining members of the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Clann Baoisgne who became his followers and he became the outstanding Fianna leader, known from then on as 83.Fionn mac Coole.

227 AD 82.Cormac mac Airt became the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Cuinn 115th King of Tara - Ireland, who was the son of 81.Art the Lonely the previous 112th King of Tara - Ireland, the son of 80.Conn of the Hundred Battles the 110th King of Tara - Ireland who is the the direct ancestor of all of the Dal Cuinn Septs. He was to then appoint Nia who was his half - brother to the position of the King of Connacht. 82.Cormac mac Airt was to eventually construct the first water mill in Ireland.

       82.Cormac mac Airt the 115th King of Tara - Ireland was also to appoint 83.Finn mac Coole - Fionn mheic Cumhail, the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Leinster Prince, the leader of the Fianna Eirinn Warriors - Fenians, who was the son of 82.Cumhal and Murna, the daughter of Tadhg the Druid. (83.Finn mac Coole was to become a legend throughout Gaelic Ireland and the Scottish Highlands.) Of 83.Finn's sons. 84.Ossan - Oisin - Little Deer or Fawn - whose mother was Sadb, recorded as the daughter of Bodb of Red Complexion was the most well known especially in Scotland, and 84.Fergus of the Sweet Speech because of his personal attributes was to become the Fenians' bard, diplomat, and ambassador. (In Irish legend Fir Droirich the Black Druid was to put a spell on Sibh the mother of 84.Ossan. Smirgat a Druidess prophesied that if 83.Finn mac Coole drank from a horn he would die so he always drank from a goblet or bowl and Milucrah another Druidess was to transform 83.Finn into an aged man at Loch Slieve Gallion. 83.Finn mac Coole was also supposed to be reincarnated 200 years later on as the Ulster King, Mongan according to the Book of the Dun Cow. 84.Caoilte - Kylta - The Thin Man - was one of the Fenian Warriors who was a cousin to 84.Ossian and could outrun him, while 84.Ossian's own son, 85.Oscar was to turn out to be the strongest and mightiest of all the Fenian Warriors, although as a youth he was so clumsy that they at first refused to take him on their expeditions. One day he was to follow them and as they came under attack and were on the verge of being defeated. 85.Oscar rushed forward and picked up a log of wood and joined in and turned the tied in their favour. During his first combat battle he was to kill 3 Kings and also his friend Linne while he was still in a fury. He was later given a battalion of his own to be known as "The Terrible Broom" who were then placed in the centre of each battle as they never retreated a foot. Other Fenian Warriors where 83.Diarmait Ua Duibhne - Ui Dyna who was greatly admired and was 83.Finn's cousin, while another was Conan who was old, bald, irritable, vain, a braggart and foul - mouthed, but a great warrior to have on your side when trouble began and another, Credne who was a female warrior. Later on 83.Finn mac Coole was able to even convince his father's slayer, Goll mac Morna to join in with him and combine the 2 Heremonian Clanns into the one band of Fianna - Fenian Warriors to protect Ireland. Despite this Goll was to eventually kill another of 83.Finn's sons, 84.Carroll - Cairell and his grandson, 85.Oscar also tried to heal the rift between him and 83.Finn and Goll misunderstood and threw a spear at 85.Oscar and was finally trapped by 83.Finn's men and was to die after 12 days from a lack of food. 83.Finn mac Coole had 2 outstanding hounds, Bran & Sgeolan, who could kill any pig that trod dry land. 84.Ossian was married to Eibhir the daughter of Iunsa.

Fear “Corb”- of the Chariots - the Heberian King of Tuath Muman - Munster, a son of 86.Mogh "Corb" - of the Chariots the previous King of Tuath Mumhan - Munster, a son of 85.Cormac "Cass" the Heberian 2nd King of Munster and 1st King of North Munster, a son of 84.Ailill "Oluimm" the 1st King of Munster.

234 AD 84.Ailill "Oluimm" the Heberian 1st King of Munster, died, who had been the son of 83.Mogha "Nuadhat" the previous King of Southern Ireland - Mogha's Half (Southern Leinster & Munster Province), who was to be the direct ancestor of all the Dal gCais, Cerdraige, Cianachta & Eoghanachta Septs in Munster. He had also been the father of *85.Eoghan "Mor," *85.Cormac "Cass" and *85.Cian who were all

to leave important Gaelic  Milesian Heberian Clanns.

      89.Lewy - Lughaidh "Mean"- "Men" was born this year ? who was from a Sept of the Deis Bec and was a son of  88.Aengus "Tirech" the future Heberian King of Munster descended from 85.Cormac "Cass."   

236 AD The Battle of Eu occurred at Magh Ai in the Connacht Province against Aed, the son of Eochy - Eochaidh, the son of Conall, the King of Connacht.

241 AD 81.Cormac mac Airt the 115th Heremonian King of Tara - Ireland besieged the Munster Province in the following series of Battles, Ard Cam, Loch Lein, Luimneach - Limerick, Grian, Classach & Muiresc. In the Battle of Fearta, 85.Eochy - Eochaidh "Taebhfada" - of the Long Side another of the sons of 84.Ailill "Oluimm" the 1st King of Munster was killed as was 85.Cian in the Battle of Samhain, who was to become the direct ancestor of the Cianachta Septs throughout Ireland through his son 86.Teague mac Cian.

      A terrible massacre took place at Clean Fearta at Tara in Mide - Meath in the north - east of the Leinster Province carried out by 94.Dunlaing a Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Cu Corb Prince who is the direct ancestor of all of the Ui Dunlainge Septs, including the Ui Dunchada, the Ui Faelan and the Ui Muiredaig Kings of Leinster, who was a son of 93.Enna "Niadh," a Cu Corb sub - King of Leinster. 30 young girls of the aristocratic warrior Gaelic Milesian line, along with a hundred maids with each of them, were slain, and because of this grievous outrage 82.Cormac mac Airt the 115th King of Tara - Ireland put to death 12 of the Cu Corb Leinster Princes. He also increased the borumha - tribute - on Southern Leinster that had been originally imposed by his ancestor, 78.Tuathal "Teachtmhar" the 106th King of Tara - Ireland in the 1st Century AD against Southern Leinster for  the death of his own two daughters due to the avarice and stupidity of the then King of Leinster. The original and the increased tribute was to be collected for 40 years and was to continue to be a great bone of contention creating continual turmoil between the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Cuinn Kings of Tara - Ireland and the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Cu Corb Septs in Southern Leinster.

 

259 AD 82.Cormac mac Airt the 115th King of Tara - Ireland became a Christian and forbade the Druids to worship the Celtic gods and was to eventually suffer for it when Maelcon the Druid cursed him for pushing forward Christianity.

 

 262 AD.

     ? 83.Finn mac Coole in his old age asked 82.Cormac mac Airt the 115th King of Tara - Ireland for permission to marry his daughter, 83.Grainne - Grace, and both consented and he attended a feis at Tara with a band of his picked Fianna Warriors but 83.Grainne instead took a liking to Diarmait Ui Duibhne and made up a drugged concoction for all to drink except Diarmait and they all soon fell asleep. 83.Grainne then went to Diarmait and put the proposition to him to take her away from Tara and 83.Finn, and although he was inclined to do so he told her that he dare not in any way upset 83.Finn, but she informed him that she had put a geasa on him to do what she wanted. When all of the other members of the Fianna awoke Diarmait went round them all and told them what had transpired, including 83.Finn, keeping back who it actually was that was involved from him personally, and asked them all what should he do. All agreed that he could not break a geasa put upon him by a woman and that night he took 83.Grainne and left Tara going to the ford at Athlone and crossed over the River Shannon into the Connacht Province and set up camp there. 83.Finn mac Coole was naturally in a rage when he found out what had occurred and sent the Clann Neamhuain to find them who reported back to 83.Finn while the other members of the Fianna themselves who were in sympathy with Diarmait tried to warn him but he would not flee and 83.Finn came himself to the campsite. While Diarmait held their attention 83.Grainne escaped into the night and Diarmait at first came up against 84.Ossian and 85.Oscar from the Clann Baoisgne who offered him their protection instead, and then 84.Caoilte and the Clann Ronan who did the same as did Conan and the Clann Mhorna. He then came upon Cuan with the Fenians of Munster Province, which was Diarmait's own Province and then the Fenians from the Ulster Province who also offered him protection but the Clann Neamhuain were against him and there was also 83.Finn himself to deal with who then had his supporters attack Diarmait who was still able to escape and seek out Grainne. From then on they never stayed in one place for too long but 83.Finn was to eventually find their campsite again and again but Diarmait continued to defeat all who were sent against him. Eventually the Fenians convinced 83.Finn to allow them both to return in peace but he really never forgave Diarmait and eventually encouraged him to go and hunt down the wild boar of Benn Gulban aka Ben Bulben in Co. Sligo in the Connacht Province who he successfully killed and 83.Finn then told him to measure out the size of its skin in his bare feet. When he did this he then had him measure it the other way against the bristles and one of them pierced his foot, which became infected and he eventually died.           

265 AD. 83.Kelly - Ceallach, the son of 82.Cormac mac Airt the 115th King of Tara - Ireland, who acted as his father's lawgiver, was killed by 81.Angus - Oenghus  “Gaibhuaibhtheach, the Champion of the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Deisi Sept in Meath in Northern Leinster who was a son of 80.Fiacha "Suighdhe,” another son of 79.Felim - Feidhlimidh “Reachtmhar- the Lawgiver - the previous 108th King of Tara - Ireland. The dispute arose after 83.Kelly had taken his niece without his consent, and 82.Cormac mac Airt himself was to also lose one of his eyes when during the conflict he also  thrust a lance into his eye. Despite this horrific injury 82.Cormac mac Airt later defeated the Deisi Sept in 7 battles and expelled them from their territory in Meath in Northern Leinster and they moved from Deisi Brega in Mide - Meath down into Southern Leinster for a while and eventually settled near Co. Waterford in the south - east of the Munster Province claiming equal freedom with men of Munster.

Meath in the south - east of Northern Leinster, which had been a Royal Residence for many Centuries. While there he was to choke to death at Cleiteach on a salmon bone after many verbal attacks - siabhradh genii - carried out against him by the Druid, Mael "Genn" - Maelcon for pushing forward Christianity. (He had been the wisest, the most learned, and the most outstanding, of any of the Celtic Gaelic Milesian Kings before him.) He had 1150 people attending him daily at the Great Hall of Tara, which was 300' long and had instituted the Saltair of Teamhair - Book of Tara - to record the history and the genealogy of all the Irish Families. He had decreed that there be 10 people in constant attendance to him and the future Kings of Ireland.
