                               *81.Art the 112th King of Tara / Ireland - *86.Eochy "Mugmedon" the 124th King of Tara / Ireland  - 1

166 AD. *81.Art "Eanfhear" / "Aonfhir" - the Lonely had become the Gaelic Milesian Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn 112th King of Tara / Ireland who was a son of *80.Conn of the Hundred Battles the previous 110th King of Tara / Ireland the direct male line ancestor of the Dal Cuinn (The People of *80.Conn) descended originally in Ireland from *37.Heremon the direct male line ancestor of all the Heremonian Septs.

 195 AD. *81.Art the Lonely was to be killed in battle in the north - west in Co. Galway in the south - west of the Connacht Province against the forces of his Gaelic Ithian nephew, 58.Lewy / Lughaidh mac Con who was descended initially in Ireland from 36.Lewy / Lughaidh and his father, 35.Ithe, the direct male line ancestors of the original aristocratic Gaelic Ithians in Southern Ireland. 58.Lewy mac Con was also the eldest son of *81.Art's previously widowed sister, *81.Sadbh and because the Heberian Sept, for a few generations previously, had shared their Southern Ireland Gaelic Kingship in Mogha's Half with the Ithians he had also wanted a turn at the newly created Kingship of Munster. Due to the previous intervention of his maternal grandfather, *80.Conn of the Hundred Battles a territorial change had occurred removing Southern Leinster from Mogha's Half / Southern Ireland leaving only those territories that now make up the Munster Province (except for Co. Clare, which was then in Southern Connacht.) 58.Lewy's step - father, the Heberian King, 84.Ailill "Oluimm," was a son of the deceased 83.Mogha "Nuadhat" who was descended from 37.Heber "Fionn," a brother to *37.Heremon, and  he had since become the 1st King of Munster only, instead of all of Mogha's Half. *84.Ailill "Oluimm" had been married to 81.Sadbh, one of the daughters of *80.Conn of the Hundred Battles, to further combine the two Gaelic Septs / Family branches of the Heremonians and the Heberians. 84.Ailill's father, 83.Mogha "Nuadhat" during his time had previously defeated *80.Conn and made him share the whole of Ireland with him and drove out *80.Conn's allies in the south. Ireland was then divided into Conn's Half / Leith Cuinn, made up of Northern Connacht and the Midlands / Northern Leinster, and Mogha's Half / Leith Mogha made up of Southern Leinster and Munster. *80.Conn was to kill 84.Mogha in battle in a dispute over the Dublin region in the north - east of Southern Leinster that he wanted to use as a port. He then laid claim to the whole territory, which is now Southern Leinster, for the Heremonians also joining it to the territory in the Midlands / Mide / Meath / Northern Leinster, separating it from Mogha's Half, and this left only the territories in the south, which then became Munster.*81.Art as the Dal Cuinn 112th King of Tara / Ireland had sided with his brother - in - law, 84.Ailill "Oluimm" the Heberian 1st King of Munster and his sons also from 81.Sadbh, of whom only two 85.Cormac "Cass" - of the Curly Hair and 85.Cian were to eventually survive the conflict. 58.Lewy on his return from exile had been accompanied by Beinne "Brit" the King of Albion / Briton and his forces and had also been joined by Lioghairne of the Long Cheeks, the son of Angus "Balbh," the son of Eochy "Finn Fuathairt," who actually was the one who had killed *81.Art the Lonely. The  7 Heberian sons of 84.Ailill "Oluimm" who were killed were 85.Eoghan "Mor," (Eoghanachta) 85.Dubh "Merchon," 85.Mugh "Corb," 85.Lewy / Lughaidh, 85.Eochy / Eochaidh, 85.Diochorb and 85.Teague / Tadhg. (Bienne "Brit" had also been killed by Lewy / Lughaidh "Lagha)." 58.Lewy mac Con after such a decisive victory and the demise of *81.Art the Lonely, with his own personal maternal connection to *80.Conn of the Hundred Battles decided instead to become the Ithian 113th King of Tara / Ireland in his own right, and left 84.Ailill "Oluimm" in as the Heberian 1st King of Munster. 58.Lewy was to then rule Ireland for 27 years until he was to be eventually driven out by the instigation of *81.Art's son, *82.Cormac "Ulfhada" - the Magnificent who was to later establish a new Royal seat at Tara / Teamhair for himself as *82.Cormac mac Airt the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn 115th King of Tara / Ireland.

226 AD. Fergus / Fearghus "Dubh Deadach" - of the Black Tooth, a son of Imchad became the 114th Irian King of Tara / Ireland who was descended originally in Ireland from 37.Ir a brother to *37.Heremon and 37.Heber. His rule was to only last for one year as he was killed in the Battle of Crinna this year in the Midlands / Mide in Breagh in Co. Meath in the south - east of Northern Leinster also by Lewy / Lughaidh "Lagha" who was by then standing up for the rights of *82.Cormac mac Airt as the overall heir - apparent. As the Irians fled across Breagh in retreat his two brothers were also killed, Fergus of the Long Hair and Fergus "Caisfhiaclach”- of the Crooked Teeth or the Fiery. 86.Teague / Tadhg mac Cian, who was a son of 85.Cian and a grandson of 84.Ailill “Oluimm,” together with Lewy “Lagha, had taken *82.Cormac mac Airt's part on this occasion, with 86.Teague mac Cian as a reward receiving the territory at Magh Breagh for the Heberian Cianachta Sept from the grateful *82.Cormac mac Airt. This was a large coastal territory extending from the River Liffey in Co. Dublin in the north - east of Southern Leinster northwards to Drumskin in Co. Louth in the north - east of Northern Leinster.  

240 AD The Battle of Magh Techt occurred this year and *82.Cormac mac Airt the 115th King of Tara / Ireland took a fleet of ships across Magh Rein - the Sea and re - gained sovereignty over Alba / Scottish Highlands.

241 AD *82.Cormac mac Airt as the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn 115th King of Tara / Ireland laid siege to the Munster Province in the following Battles, at Ard Cam, Loch Lein, Limerick / Luimneach, Grian, Classach and Muiresc to improve his overall authority in Ireland. In the Battle of Fearta, 85.Eochy / Eochaidh "Taebhfada" - of the Long Side another son of 84.Ailill "Oluimm" the Heberian 1st King of Munster was also killed, as was 85.Cian another of his sons, in the Battle of Samhain, who is the direct ancestor of the Cianachta Septs.

      At this time a terrible massacre also took place at Clean Fearta at Tara in the south - east of Northern Leinster carried out by the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Ui Lughaidh Cu Corb Prince / Tanaiste, 94.Dunlaing who is the direct male line ancestor of the Ui Dunlainge Sept, who was also a son of 93.Enda / Enna "Niadh," a King of Leinster. 30 young girls from the aristocratic Royal lines along with a hundred maids with each of them were slain and because of this terrible outrage *82.Cormac mac Airt the 115th King of Tara / Ireland put to death 12 of the Leinster Princes. He also increased the borumha / tribute on Southern Leinster that had been originally imposed by his ancestor, *78.Toole / 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 tribute was to be collected for 40 years and was to create continuing turmoil between the Kings of Tara, Southern Leinster and the Heberian Kings in the Munster Province who attempted to continue to retain over lordship in all of Mogha's Half. 

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 be made to suffer for it.

262 AD. The Battle of Crionna Fregabhail occurred between *82.Cormac mac Airt the Heremonian 115th King of Tara / Ireland and Angus "Finn,” the son of Fergus "Duibh Deadach" - of the Black Tooth, the previous King of Ulster and 114th Tara / Ireland in which the men of Ulster Province were defeated.  

265 AD. *83.Kelly / Cellach the son of *82.Cormac mac Airt, who acted as his father's lawgiver, was killed this year, and *82.Cormac himself lost one of his eyes when 81.Angus “Gaibhuaibhtheach," from the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Deisi Sept, who was a son of *80.Fiacha "Suighdhe,” another of the sons of *79.Felim / Feidhlimidh "Reachtmar" - the Lawgiver the previous 108th King of Tara / Ireland had thrust a lance into *82.Cormac's eye. Despite this serious injury *82.Cormac mac Airt later defeated the Deisi Sept in 7 battles and expelled them from their territory in Deisi Brega / Mide / Meath / Northern Leinster. They were to migrate down into Co. Waterford in the north - east of the Munster Province and also across the sea into Wales from where they were driven off by a contingent of the Fir Bolg tribes from Hadrian's Wall who had been sent down there by the Romans to carry this out. On returning to Ireland they eventually assimilated with the Heberians becoming a basis for the In Deis Tuaiscirt in Co. Clare in the north - west of the Munster Province.

266 AD. *82.Cormac mac Airt the Magnificent the Heremonian 115th King of Tara / Ireland after such a serious injury, under the Celtic Brehon Law had to retire as King of Tara / Ireland and during his retirement he was to choke to death at Cleiteach on a salmon bone after many verbal attacks / siabhradh genii by the Druid, Mael "Genn" for pushing forward Christianity. He had been the wisest, most learned, and the most outstanding of any of the Celtic Gaelic Milesian Kings before him and he had 1150 people attending him daily at the Great Hall of Tara, which was 300' long and had instituted the Saltair of Tara / The Book of Tara to record the history and the genealogy of all the Irish Families. He had decreed that there be 10 particular people in constant attendance to him and the future Kings of Ireland. A nobleman as a companion, a judge / Brehon, a historian to declare and preserve the genealogies, acts, and occurrences of the nobility and the gentry, a Druid to offer sacrifice and foreshadow the will of God or bad omens, a poet to praise or dispraise everyone, a physician, a musician, and 3 stewards.

268 AD. *83.Cairbre "Liffeachair" - of the Liffey became the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn 116th King of Tara / Ireland who was a son of 82.Cormac mac Airt.

276 AD 81.Angus / Oengus "Gaibhuaibhtheach was killed by 84.Fiacha / Fiachadh "Sraibhtine" / "Sreabthuine" and his brother, 84.Eochy / Eochaidh "Doimhlen" / "Dubhlen" (3 Collas) two of the sons of 83.Cairbre "Liffeachair" the 116th King of Tara / Ireland.

284 AD *83.Cairbre of the Liffey the Dal Cuinn 116th King of Tara / Ireland was slain at the Battle of Gabhra Aichle by Semeon, a son of Cearb from the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Fotharta Sept who were by now a vassal Sept of the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Ui Lughaidh Cu Corb Sept in Southern Leinster. 86.Fear "Corb" the son of 85.Cormac "Cass" the previous 2nd King of Munster, the son of *84.Ailill "Oluimm" the 1st King of Munster, had brought the Leinster Fianna warriors to defend Leath Mogha against him, which may have also involved the tribute previously imposed on Southern Leinster?

286 AD *84.Fiacha “Sraibhtine became the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn 120th King of Tara / Ireland, who was a son of 83.Cairbre "Liffeachair" the previous 116th King of Tara / Ireland.

322 AD. *84.Fiacha “Sraibhtine the Dal Cuinn 120th King of Tara / Ireland was slain by the 3 Colla brothers who were the 3 sons of his own brother, 84.Eochy / Eochaidh “Doimhlen” / "Dubhlen" as they had been advised by their Druid that, this was the only way they would ever inherit the male line to the Kingship of Tara / Ireland. They had killed him in the Battle of Dubh Chomar in Crioch Ros in Breagh / Brega in Co. Meath in the south - east of Northern Leinster while his son, *85.Murray / Muiredach “Tireach, who acted as his Champion, was away elsewhere.

     One of the 3 Colla brothers, 85.Carroll / Carioll "Colla Uais" was to rule Ireland for 4 years as the 121st King of Tara / Ireland until he along with his 2 other brothers were to be removed from their positions by *85.Murray / Muiredach “Tireach the son of *84.Fiacha "Sraibhtine" the previous 120th King of Tara / Ireland,

                                                                                   +On to *81.Art - *86.Eochy "Mugmedon" - 2.
