933 AD Muirecan the Abbot of Armagh ordained 101.Aed mac Domnaill the 29th King of the Cenel nEogain? in Co. Tyrone at Armagh who had already been King there for 4 years, as the "Northern" Ui Niaill Cenel nEogain Kings in Northern Ulster had made Armagh in the south - east of the Ulster Province their own to some extent and they now had a permanent residence there and a mausoleum for their Ui Niaill Kings.

The Viking King of Dublin destroyed the crannog fort of the Heremonian Ui Cobhthaigh Dal Cuinn "Southern" Ui Niaill Siol nAedo Slaine Kings of Lagore / South Brega in Co.

The following drastic changes now occurred in the pedigrees of the leading Septs and therefore the fortunes of 3 of the aristocratic Milesian Gaelic Families, which were to also bring about a great change in Irish History.

934 AD 104.Callaghan / Cellachan "Chaisil" became the Heberian Eoghanacht Chaisil 34th King of Cashel / Munster, who was a son of 103.Buadachan, a son of 102.Lachtnae, a son of 101.Artgal, a son of 100.Snedgus, one of the 3 sons of 99.Donngal / Dungalach, the son of 98.Faelgus, a son of 97.Nad "Froich," the son of 96.Colgan / Colgu the previous 15^th King of Munster, one of the 2 sons of 95.Failbhe "Fland" the 11^th King of Munster descended from 91.Angus mac Nad Froich the 3^rd King of Cashel / Munster, one of the 2 sons of 90.Nad "Froich" the 2nd King of Cashel / Munster, one of the 7 sons of 89.Conall "Corc" (Chaisil). His full pedigree is most important for he was to be successful after 8 generations of no candidates to the Cashel / Munster Kingship and became an outstanding Eoghanacht King and the ancestor of many of the modern Families today including the Mac Carthys and the O Callaghans / Callahans.

Rebachan mac Mothlai the Heberian Dal gCais Ui Bloid King from the In Deis Tuaiscirt, who was also the Abbot of Tomgraney / Tuaim Greine from the Clann Angus / Oengussa, died and he was to be followed in the Kingship by a member of the Ui Bloid Ui Turlough / Thoirrdelbaig Sept who now became the Dal gCais Kings following in the reign of his successor, 103.Lorcan mac Lachtna. He would be the grandfather of the great 105.Brian "Boru" - of the Tributes who would become the 170th High King of Ireland in time to meet the Viking challenge head on. The previous 3 Kings had been from the Ahern / Ui Echthigern Sept who like the Ui Chernaig were both sub - Septs of the Dal gCais Clann Oengussa. 103.Lorcan's son,

104.Kennedy / Cennetig was to become the Dal gCais King of Thomond the first of the Ui Bloid Ui Turlough Sept.

935 AD 105.Kenneth / Cinaed the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Ui Lughaidh Cu Corb 48th Ui Cheinnselaig, died, whose father was 104.Coirpre the previous 42nd Ui Cheinnselaig King, who was a son of 103.Diarmait, the son of 102.Rudgal, the son of 101.Aed, whose father was 100.Onchu, who was a brother to 100.Faelchu the father of 101.Elothach the 24th Ui Cheinnselaig King (Siol nEladaig). The father of both 100.Onchu and 100.Faelchu was 99.Faelan the 9th Ui Cheinnselaig King, the son of 98.Silan, one of the 2 sons of 97.Eogan "Caech" the 7th Ui Cheinnselaig King, one of the 2 sons of 96.Nathi, the son of 95.Crimthann the 1st Ui Cheinnselaig King and the Heremonian Cu Corb 3rd King of Leinster. 105. Kenneth's / Cinaed's son, 106.Kelly / Ceallach was to be the future 50th Ui Cheinnselaig King who would revive the fortunes of their male line to eventually produce 110.Diarmait mac Mael "na mBo" who would become the 51st King of Leinster just in time to produce the infamous 113.Diarmait Mac Murrough "na Gall" who would then bring the Anglo - Normans into Ireland beginning 850 years of oppression and ethnic cleansing.

937 AD This year, Dublin Viking Kings had tried to move on to York in Albion / England where they suffered defeat in battle at Brunanburh against Athelstan the Anglo - Saxon King of England, which had ramifications for Ireland as Olaf "Cuaran" who was now the Viking King of Dublin and York returned once again to Dublin in the north - east of Southern Leinster.

Eochy / Eochaidh mac Conaill the Dal Fiatach 40th King of Ulaid, died, this year, who was a son of Conall, whose line of descent is as yet unknown and 104.Matudan became the Dal Fiatach 41st King of Ulaid in the north - east of Ulster, who was one of the 3 sons of 103.Aed the previous 37th King of Ulaid, who was one of the 2 sons of 102.Eochocan the 31st King of Ulaid.

938 AD 104.Callaghan / Cellachan the Eoghanacht Chaisil 34th King of Cashel / Munster carried out a great slaughter against the Heremonian Ui Laoghaire Ui Connla kingdom of Ossory in Co. Kilkenny in the south - west of Leinster to express the Heberian authority over Mogha's Half.

101.Murtough / Muirchertach - of the Leather Cloaks, the "Northern" Ui Niaill Cenel nEogain 33rd King of Aileach in Northern Ulster until the year 943 AD who was also the heir - apparent to the Ui Niaill Kingship of Ireland combined his "Northern" Ui Niaill warriors and those from the "Southern" Ui Niaill in Breagh in Meath in the south - east of Northern Leinster. He also invaded the kingdom of Ossory in Co. Kilkenny in south - west of Southern Leinster and the territory of the Deisi Septs there and ravaged and generally plundered the country around Munster Province to reaffirm the overall Heremonian authority of the Ui Niaill also there in Mogha's Half.

102.Donough / Donnchad "Donn" - of Brown Complexion who was now the "Southern" Ui Niaill Clann Cholmain 166th King of Ireland attacked the Vikings in Dublin and raided the land to the south of there in Southern Leinster while the Viking Kings were still trying to retake York in Albion / England as this left Dublin open to attack by the Irish and it became less important as a Viking stronghold. He had previously also divided the Viking forces while attempting to gain the Overlordship of their other Norse settlements.

939 AD Aodh, died, this year, who was the Abbot of Aghadoe / Achadh Da Eo (The Field of the Yews) Abbey in Co. Kerry in the south - west of the Munster Province where there is an Ogham Stone near the Church and the remains of a Round Tower all situated at the north end of the Lower Lake in what was the territory of the Heberian Eoghanacht O Donoghues.

940 AD 105.Brian - of Great Strength the future Heberian Dal gCais Ui Bloid Ui Turlough 170th High King of Ireland was born in the palace at Kincora at Killaloe / Cill Molua (The Church of St. Molua) in the Ui Bloid territory in Co. Clare in the north - west of Thomond / Northern Munster. It had been named after St. Molua who was from the Eoghanacht Ui Fidgeinte Sept in Co. Limerick in the north - west of Munster Province who had been the first Bishop / supervisor there in the 7th Century AD. 105.Brian was a son of 104.Kennedy / Cennetig and a grandson of 103.Lorcan / Finghin and was to be educated at Innis Fallen Abbey on Innis Fallen Island in Co. Kerry in the south - west of Munster, which had a high scholastic reputation. (It was to be raided by the Vikings on many occasions).

As a sign of 104.Kennedy’s growing importance 102.Donough / Donnchad "Donn" the "Southern" Ui Niaill 166th King of Ireland in his old age had married 105.Orlaith a daughter of 104.Kennedy, but she was to be put to death this year for having a relationship with his young son, 103.Angus / Oenghus. 105.Kennedy was now also seen as a threat to the Ui Niaill heir - apparent and Tánaiste / Prince in waiting, 101.Murtough / Muirchertach the "Northern" Ui Niaill Cenel nEogain 33rd King of Aileach in Ulster Province. 101.Murtough was generally known as "Murtough of the Leather Cloaks" as he clad his warriors in leather cloaks and attacked the Vikings during the Winter time, which was unusual and quite successful.

Harald the Viking King in their settlement at Limerick in the mid - north - west of the Munster Province, died, this year, and from now on the absolute threat of their total take over of Ireland was to recede, as they became more and more converted to Christianity in Ireland as they were further drawn into the Irish culture.
