MAC SORLEY

322 AD. *84.Fiacha “Sraibhtine” the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn 120^thKing of Tara / Ireland was slain by the 3 Colla brothers who were the 3 sons of his brother, 84.Eochy / Eochaidh “Doimhlen” / "Dubhlen." They had been advised by their Druid that, this was the only way they would ever gain the male line to the Kingship of Tara / Ireland. They were to kill 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,” his Champion, was away elsewhere.

323 AD. *85.Carroll / Carioll "Colla “Uais” - the Noble, one of the 3 sons of *84.Eochy / Eochaidh "Doimhlen" became the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn 121st King of Tara Ireland for 4 years and was a brother to 85.Murray / Muiredach Colla "da Crioch" - of the Two Countries (Ireland and Alba / Scottish Highlands) and 85.Colla "Meann" - the Famous who were to be later known as the 3 Collas (Great Chiefs).

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

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

331 AD. Seeing the numbers of the 3 Colla Septs / Family branches growing stronger *85.Murray "Tireach" advised them to go further to the north of Ireland and seek out territory there for their own 3 Colla Families, and once there over time they were to found the Heremonian 3 Colla kingdom of Orghialla / Oriel in Southern Ulster and nearby in Co. Louth in the far north - east of Northern Leinster. During the conflict that brought this about in the Battle of Archadh Leithdheirg in Fearnmhagh the 3 Colla brothers came up against the Irian Septs in the Ulster Province descended from 37.Ir (Irians) the brother of 37.Heremon (Heremonians). Fergus "Fogha," the son of Fraechar "Foirtriun," who was to be the last Irian King of Ulster, who resided at their Irian fortress at Eamhain Macha / Armagh, was killed in the conflict and they burned the fortress of Eamhain Macha, which then came to an end as a Gaelic Milesian aristocratic Royal fortress. Overtime the 3 Colla Septs were to secure all of the territory there from the Righe and Loch nEathach westwards. One of the brothers, 85.Colla “Meann” was killed during the battle, but this particular expedition into the territory there in Ulster was the beginning of the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Ui Felim Dal Cuinn advance there.
