637 AD 97.Congal "Claen" / "Caech" / half blind or squinty - the Irian Dal nAraidi 11th King of Ulaid in the north - east of Ulster Province had been in with a chance of becoming the King of Ireland but his impairment had put him out of any hope of gaining overall sovereignty as no blemish was allowed in regards to the Kingship, which was similar to the same fate that had removed 81.Cormac mac Airt the 115th King of Tara / Ireland, and he also resented the "Northern" Ui Niaill occupation in the Ulster Province. Because of this he had joined in with 91.Donnell / Domhnall “Brecc“ the new Scottii King of Dal Riada and they went up against 93.Donnell / Domhnall mac Aedo the "Northern" Ui Niaill Cenel Conaill 143rd King of Ireland allied with the "Southern" Ui Niaill Sil nAedo Slaine sons of 91.Aedh "Slaine” in a great battle at Moira / Magh Rath between Ballinderry and Dromore in Co.

"Wild" Sweeney / Suibhne "Buile" / Mad Sweeney who was also in the battle with him was an Irian Dal nAraidi King who had his territory in the south of Co. Antrim and the north of Co. Down. He had been cursed by St. Ronan before the battle and had gone into mental shock, brought on also by the horror of the battle, and he had then escaped into the woods to live were he eventually was to be cared for by St. Moling of Ferns the Leinster saint. This decisive battle at Magh Roth was to further secure the overall authority of the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Cuinn Ui Niaill in the north of Ulster and an end to the chaos there. 91.St. Columbcille in 586 AD had previously forged an alliance between both his Heremonian kinsmen, 89.Aedan mac Gabhrain the Scottii King of Dal Riada, who he had also previously anointed as the King there, and 92.Aed mac Ainmerech the "Northern" Ui Niaill Cenel Conaill 138th King of Ireland when 94.Baetan was then trying to offset the Ui Niaill conquests in the north of Ireland by trying to build the power base of the Ulaid Kings in Ulster beyond the Irish Sea. His grandson, 91.Donnell / Domhnall ”Brecc“ had now only brought disaster on the kingdom of Dal Riada there by breaking the previous alliance with the "Northern" Ui Niaill.
