(1 cumal = a maidservant), or 300 cows.

36 AD *76.Feradach "Fionn - Feachtnach"- Fiacad "Fionn Fatchnach" - Truthful and Sincere - who was his son, became the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 102nd King of Tara - Ireland descended from 60.Cobhthach & 37.Heremon  and was to die a natural death. During his reign Moran, the son of Maion, was a celebrated Brehon Chief Justice of Ireland who was the first to wear the magical collar known as "Iodhain Morain," which according to tradition was supposed to nearly choke him if he passed a false judgment but would return to normal size if he reversed that decision.

54 AD *77.Fiacha "Fionn Ola"* - Flacad "Fionoud" - of the White Cows - his son, became the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 104th King of Tara - Ireland descended from 60.Cobhthach & 37.Heremon, who was married to Eithne the daughter of the Celtic King of Alba - Scotland and he too was slain by Elim who became the Irian 105th King of Tara - Ireland who was a descendant of 37.Ir. A great revolt then occurred in Ireland carried out by many of the subordinate disaffected tribes who were supported by the Fir Bolg Septs against the Gaelic Milesian aristocratic warrior leadership and Ireland was to left to fend for itself.

76 AD Elim, the Irian 105th King of Tara - Ireland, the son of Conra, was slain in the Battle of Achill by *78.Toole - Tuathal "Teachtmhar," a son of *76.Fiachra "Finn Ola" the previous 104th King of Tara - Ireland descended from 60.Cobhthach & 37.Heremon.  

     *78.Toole "Teachtmhar"* became the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 106th King of Tara - Ireland descended from 60.Cobhthach & 37.Heremon, who was a son of *76.Fiachra "Fionn Ola" the previous 104th King of Tara - Ireland and was married to the daughter of Sgaile "Balbh" the Celtic King of Albion - Briton. *78.Toole had previously been in exile since the death of his father and Ireland had been in constant turmoil since then. The remaining Gaels had beseeched him to return to Ireland and bring order to the Country and when he did he was assisted by his grandfather, the Celtic King of Alba - Scotland, and his followers. After fighting 125 battles all over Ireland he restored the original ruling Celtic Milesian Gaels aristocratic warrior class to their previous individual provincial kingdoms. He annexed various portions of the territory around Tara in what became the Midlands - Mide - Meath in the north - east of what s now Northern Leinster for "He who controlled Tara controlled Ireland" and had his own fortress at Uisnech in the north - west of Co. Westmeath in the very center of Ireland. Due to the unethical antics of the then Heremonian King of Leinster he was to also impose a tremendous fine - eric upon the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Cu Corb Leinster Septs for the death of his two daughters, 79.Firthir & 79.Darina. This fine was to be then paid forever to the Kings of Tara - Ireland and it was to be collected each year by the next 40 Kings of Tara - Ireland. Later under his descendant, 82.Cormac mac Airt  the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Cuinn 115th King of Tara - Ireland, due to the mayhem caused then by 94.Dunlainge, the Cu Corb Prince, who is the direct ancestor of the Cu Corb Ui Dunlainge Septs, it was increased further. The collection of the tribute - Boru - was then mostly carried out under great duress and always produced much hostility between them and therefore created many battles until it was to be finally remitted much later on at the pleading of St. Moling.

106 AD. *78.Toole "Teachtmhar" the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 106th King of Tara - Ireland after ruling for 30 years was killed during this year by his successor, 77.Mal the Irian King of Ulster in Magh Line at Moinan Chatha in the territory of the Irian Dal nAraidi Sept in Ulaid in the south - east of the Ulster Province from where the Rivers, Ollara & Ollarba spring.  77.Mal became the Irian 107th King of Tara - Erinn descended from 62.Rory "Mor' & 37.Ir.

110 AD. 77. Mal the 107th Irian King of Tara - Ireland was killed by *79.Felim - Feidhlimidh "Reachtmhar," the son of *78.Toole "Teachtmhar" the previous 106th King of Tara - Ireland.

      *79.Felim - Feidhlimidh "Reachtmar" - the Lawgiver - became the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 108th  King of Tara - Ireland descended from 60.Cobhthach & 37.Heremon, who was the son of *78.Toole "Teachtmhar" the previous 106th King of Tara - Ireland and Baine of Finland and he was married to Una - Ughna "Ollerothach" the daughter of the King of Denmark - Lochlann. 79.Felim’s mother Baine was the daughter of Scal the King of Sacsa and she was also to be the mother of 82.Coole - Cumhall, the father of 83.Finn mac Coole - 83.Fionn mac Cumhail the outstanding leader of the Fianna Warriors in Leinster. She was to be later interred in what became the Heremonian 3 Colla kingdom of Orghialla - Airghialla - Oriel in Southern Ulster & Co. Louth in the north - east of Northern Leinster.

 119 AD. *79.Felim - Feidhlimidh "Reachtmar" the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 108th King of Tara - Ireland, was to die of thirst this year. St. Brigid was to be descended from his son, 80.Eochy - Eochaidh and St. Ite was to be a descendant of another of his sons, 80.Fiacha. He had reigned for 9 years during which time there was peace and plenty. He was succeeded by 90.Cahir - Cathair "Mor" who became the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Cu Corb 109th King of Tara - Ireland, who was one of the 2 sons of 89.Felim - Feidlimid "Fer Aurglas," a son of 88.Corbmac "Gelta Gaeth," a son of 87. Nia "Corb," one of the 4 sons of 86.Cu "Corb" descended from 60.Leary - Laoghaire "Lorc" the brother of his ancestor, 60.Coffey - Cobhthach "Caol Breagh."

122 AD. 90.Cahir - Cathair "Mor" the Heremonian Cu Corb 109th King of Tara - Ireland was killed by *80.Conn "Ceth Cathach" - "Cead Chadhrach" - of the Hundred Battles, a son of 79.Felim - Feidhlimidh "Reachtmar" the previous 108th King of Tara - Ireland and the Luigni Sept of Tara in a battle at Magh hAgha.

123 AD. *80.Conn of the Hundred Battles* became the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 110th King of Tara - Ireland and was to become the direct ancestor of all of the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Cuinn Septs as he was very ambitious to spread his particular Heremonian male line influence further over all of the Country. Despite this he was to be forced to divide Ireland with 84.Mogha "Nuadhat" the Heberian King of Mogha's Half, (Southern Leinster & Munster Province) who was descended from 85.Cormac "Cass" & 37.Heber "Fionn," this year along the Esker Riada, which is a ridge of hills extending from Co. Dublin in the mid - east of Southern Leinster across to Co. Galway in the south - west of the Connacht Province.

     *80.Conn of the Hundred Battles was to eventually kill 83.Mogha the Heberian King of Mogha's Half in battle, which then gave him complete control over the whole of Ireland including Southern Leinster in Mogha's Half and join it to Mid - Meath - (Northern Leinster) creating the whole of what is now the Leinster Province. Once again this too was to create continuing turmoil also into the future with the Heberian Septs descended from 83.Mogha & 37.Heber "Fionn" who always sought to reclaim over - lordship of their original territory in Southern Leinster. 80.Conn was to marry his widowed daughter, 81.Sadb to 83.Mogha's son, 84.Ailill "Oluimm" and he became the Heberian 1st King of Munster consisting then of territory in Co. Cork, Co. Kerry, Co. Limerick, Co. Tipperary & Co. Waterford. (Co. Clare was then still part of Southern Connacht.) 84.Ailill "Oluimm" & 81.Sadb were to become the direct ancestors of all the Heberian Kings & Septs - Family Branches - there including the Cianachta, the Cerdraige, the Eoghanachta and the Dal gCais - Dalcassian Septs descending from 4 of their sons. The main Families there were to to be represented in more modern times by the O Briens, the Mac Namaras, the Mac Carthys, the O Callahans, the O Donovan, the O Keeffes, the O Mahony & O Sullivans etc. *80.Conn's influence was to become very dominant in the future genetically throughout Ireland as he was to be the male line direct ancestor of the Dal Cuinn - People of Conn - and on the maternal side of the Heberian Septs in the Munster Province and the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Muscraige Dal Riada in the north - east of the Ulster Province and the Scottish Highlands. This was to take in all of the Heremonian Dal Cuinn Families and their own Ui Maine and 3 Connachta Septs in the Connacht Province (named for him), the "Southern" Ui Niaill Septs in the Midlands - Meath - Northern Leinster and the 3 Colla & "Northern" Ui Niaill Septs in the north also in Ulster.

 157 AD. *80.Conn of the Hundred Battles the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh 110th King of Tara  - Ireland was slain after reigning for 35 years at Tara at the behest of 78.Tibraite "Tireach," the son of 77.Mal who was the previous Gaelic Milesian Irian 107th King of Ulster, at Tuath Amrois, who accomplished this with 50 of his Ulster warriors dressed as women.

      *80.Conn of the Hundred Battles the previous 110th King of Tara - Ireland then became direct ancestor of the Dal Cuinn Septs - The People of Conn -  in his own right who eventually were to evolve into 4 separate groups to be known firstly as, The *3 Colla Septs descended directly from *85. the 3 Colla brothers who were the sons of 84.Eochy "Doimhlen," who was also a son of 83.Cairbre "Liffeachair" who was to be the 116th King of Tara - Ireland, who were to have their kingdom of Orghialla - Airghialla - Oriel  in Southern Ulster & Co.
