284 AD *83.Cairbre "Liffeachair" - of the Liffey the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim 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 a subject Sept of the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Ui Lughaidh Cu Corb Septs in Southern Leinster. 86.Fear "Corb" the son of 85.Cormac "Cass" the Heberian 2nd King of Munster had brought the Leinster Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Fianna Warriors to defend Mogha's Half / Leath Mogha against him, which may have been over sovereignty or tribute? The oldest son of *83.Cairbre "Liffeachair was,

286 AD *84.Fiacha “Sraibhtine” who became the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn 120^th King of Tara / Ireland,

322 AD. *84.Fiacha “Sraibhtine” the 120^thKing of Tara / Ireland was slain by *85.Carroll / Carioll (Colla Uais) - the Noble, *85.Murray / Muireadach (Colla da Crioch" / "Focrith)" - of the Two Countries and *85.Mean (Colla Meann) - the Famous who are now known as the 3 Colla brothers who were the 3 sons of his own brother, *84.Eochy / Echu “Doimhlen” / "Dubhlen," and Alechia the daughter of the King of Alba / Scotland 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. This involved a kin slaying / finghal when they 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 / Muireadach “Tireach,” who was also his Champion, was away elsewhere. *85.Carroll / Carioll "(Colla Uais)" then became the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn 121st King of Tara / Ireland and he was to rule for 4 years until he was to be removed by *84.Fiacha's son.,

326 AD. *85.Murray / Muireadach “Tireach” became the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn 122nd King of Tara / Ireland, and as he had great compassion he only exiled the 3 Colla brothers banishing them and 300 of their followers to Alba / Scotland and was to rule over Ireland in his own right for the next 30 years.

327 AD. The 3 Colla brothers returned to Ireland with only a group of 27 followers and went directly to *85.Murray / Muireadach “Tireach” the 122nd King of Tara / Ireland under the instructions, once again, of their Druid, to threaten him, so that a kin slaying / finghal might also then be on him if he killed any of them, but instead he forgave them and made them his Champions.

331 AD. Seeing the numbers of the 3 Colla Septs growing stronger *85.Murray / Muireadach "Tireach" the 122nd King of Tara / Ireland advised them to go further north and seek out territory there for their own 3 Colla Families and they began the foundation of the future Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Cuinn 3 Colla kingdom of Orghialla / Oriel in Co. Louth in the north - east of Northern Leinster and nearby in Southern Ulster. During the conflicts that brought this about in the Battle of Archadh Leithdheirg in Fearnmhagh the 3 Colla brothers came up against the men of Ulster and Fergus / Fearghus "Fogha," the son of Fraechar "Foirtriun," who was to be the last real Gaelic Milesian Irian King of Ulster, who resided at Eamhain Macha / Armagh, was killed, and they burnt the fort of Eamhain Macha, which saw the end of its use as a Royal site. They secured all of the territory there from the Righe and Loch nEathach westwards and during the conflict one of the brothers, *85.Mean "Colla Meann" / "Mend” was killed. This was to see the real beginning of the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn advance into the Ulster territory of the Irians in the Ulster Province.
