Early Milisian Kings from Carroll publication

This Table of Contents for the posts on this blog is included to ease the confusion as to the cronology of these early kings.
There area few gaps in the list which probably indicate times when no kings were in power or they may indicate times when rival houses held the kingship at Teamaire.
The term Mi li indicates an ill color or a bad time or month. the Mili were soldiers coming into Ireland as an organized military force.They wer the Fir Li.
These were than rulers over the preceeding populations, the Dadanann and their slaves the Fir Bolg Nemidians with a repleate history thereto.
The Fir Li being of hue that is ill probably indicated their dark hair and olive skin as opposed to the blond white skinned tall Danaans .
The dark men.
The history now availabe for these monarchs is only from the De Derga Hostel in 1 or 2 BC.
The times before that are not now availabe to solcitors although they are probably still untranslated in dusty collections.
Probably at Trinity College and the Bodlainn.

Craobtan m Lugad 6-BC

Craobtan m Lugad m Duac of Mumain house of Iber later called Craobtan Niad Nair was elected hi king of errion.

The assembly was conviened at Teacmorand Craobtan was chosen.

He sat on Lia Fail and the Ardcromfear of Laigean placed the eisaon on his head and the royal robe on his shoulders.

The feis was held and the games after the reading of the customary writings.

There was a great multitude at the corination as Craobtan was high minded, worthy and given to munificence.

Concobar wanted to bring an inditmetn in the second session for the murder of his brother Ardfear Caibre.

Craobtan wanted the inditment made according to accepted practice to the chief judge not the assmebly.
But Concobar said the attackers were not certain but alleged to be the chiefs of Remion Morcean and Degad from the land of Suin Aron a captain of this battalion who had killed his brother Caibre.

The heralds then called for the chief of Remion but he did not answer.

Ardrig Craobtan ordered trackers to bring Degad and Remion chieftan but these two could not be found.

The rest of the session was carried out in order.
The Assembly desolved and each member went home.

The great white shield of peace hung over Errion.

No clamor for battle was heard adn the Gaal multiplied in peace and contentment.

the Assembly was called up by Craobtan as it should be every 3rd year.

After 8 years of his reign as Ardrig when Concobar m Factna was king of Ullad,
Eocaid m Fionolaoc king of Laigean,
Craobtan m Lugad king of Mumain and Errion
and Scant mic Meirt king of Ultonnmact,
Jesus of Juda ws born in the tents of the eastern world.

By these calculations the Christ Child was born in what we now call 2 AD.

As there was a star event at this birth duly recorded by both Persia and Jerusalem and probably Rome and Egypt it was probably also recorded by the Cromfears of Baal in Errion as all these were united in the worship of Baal the sun throughout the known world of their existance.

The use of the word Remion to describe a long held tanasteac in Erin an also used as the Irish word for Romans at the battle of Caartage would probably indicate a presence of Roman tribes on th island in the late 200 BC period as well as ccontact with the Phonecian traders know as the Feine of Tyre and Sidon.

Why this world passed from BC to AD at this time remains a mystery as Juluis Ceasar the first Roman Imperor revamped the calander in 44 BC when the new time count should have begun not 2 AD or environs.

Jesus was born according to Church records inthe 42nd year of Augustus which is also not consise as Augustus ruled as part ofa triumphate with Pompey and Marc Anthony until both were killed.

Anthony in the famous sea battle Action in 31 BC where he was allied to Cleopatra who withdrew her focres in the midst of the combat and was followed in hysterics by Marc Anthony who shamed himself by this act and the 2 hence changed the course of history for the world.

Jesus was crucified again under the reign in Rome of Tiberias believed to be around 32 years old at this time, giving forth obsucrity to the dates of either happening .
His innocuous birth and his well publiced death as an example of defiance to the will of Rome.

During this period Rome had already invaded and conguered Gaal [Gaul] and Espainia and was vying with the Germaninc tribes along the Rhine borderland as well as with the deserts of Asia for control of the old Assyrian Persian and Babylonian territories wherein were scattered not only the aboriginal peoples of this land but Greeks, Hebrews,Celts , Persians and Egyptians all tribes well established as traders, soothsayers, scribes , soldiers of fortune, merchants and other lesser professions common to all organized societys.

As to the disruption of time by these events it is probable that the invention of AD and BC was created by the cromfears and the new priest and followers of Christianity to distinguish priests, their followers and establish the religious beliefs.

Christain time does not seem to be in conformity with space time as compiled by the old ancient Druids of Egypt, Persia, China et all who observed the stars the sun and the moon and accoringly kept the seasons and the time relavent to space and the universe not mans personal needs.

Today with the invention of the personal clock these great space time achievements are almost lost to mankind in general or in such a state of confusion and fragmentation as to be inaccurate.

Mankind subsequently is lost in space and time in the modern world holding the power to annialate himself and the palant without the beneifit of service or knowledge but by the meanering of the holy Church.

As to Craobtan Niad Nair the son of Lugad m Duac m Caibre m Geinadamaer Ionnatamare etc of the hous of Iber, he is also listed as the decendant of Lugad Riab n Derg child of an incestious relationship with the 3 Finnemas triplets Lotan, Nair and Bres with their siste r Clothra or ClotFionn who also had a relationship with her son Lugad to creat Craobtan Nia Nair the last BC king of Errion.

These triplets were the chillfren of Eocaid Feidnolac king of Laigean and hence children of Iolar as well as Iber.

Somewhree in this past lay a connection in marriage betwen Eodaid of Laigean and Caibre of Mumain bringing the two houses together in the royal line of Iber of Mumain and Iolar of Gaalen Laigean. The unity of the south of Ireland.

This scandal of intercourse among siblings as well as parent and child hounded Iolars house as well as the propensity for internicine killing of each other and sibling rivalry which had been with them from the beginning at the Melisian invasions.

This perhaps genetic defect carried over with the Anni Domini era and probably inspired the ethnic cleansing episode in the early AD century when the common Tuath Aitec [Atti Cotti] rose to kill all the Melisian nobility but 3 escapees one of whom was Tuathal Teacmor who was finally able to rest back control of Errion in 79 AD and was declared rightful ruler by all the assembled tribes of Errion at Teacmor Tabarta which he than incorporated into the separate 5th province of Meath or Mide the kings provence.

During the reign of the Melisian kings prior to 1 Ad some 78 Kings sat as high king of the country.
Only 24 kings sat between Iolar to Siorna including the law giver and bulider of Teachmore Tabarta Eocaid Ollam Fodla of the house of Ir.
54 sat from, 588 Bc till Craobtan in 1 BC.

The records, rolls and cronicles of these events were dutifuly kept in the Irish writing not Latin or English.

Some of these records were transcibed after the coming of St Patrick in 432 AD when the law tracts were also brought into conformity with Christian doctrine known as the Seancus Mor.

As to the Cronicles of Errion they seem to have been written and kept by the ollams and at the Mur n Ollav schools or at the palaces at Teacmor or Soberce or during Lagins stint at Magnas in the south.

This book seems to be based on fragments of those ollam records written in the hand of the time.

Continuation of the Irish monarcy in the AD era can be read on line by bringing up:

Factna-Caibre30-6 BC

2008-08-11T12:55:00.000-07:00

Factna 30-7 Bc

Factna M Cas m Ruidruide Mor king 23 years called Factna Fatac

Factna did not crave the throne of Erin .

However he and his troops marched to Tabara and put up their tents.

His men encouraged him to take the throne to prevent Iolar and Laigean from aquiring it.

At Mumain Duacs brother Lugad was eleted king at Brugrig.

This Lugad of Mumain would become the father of the last BC king of Errion Croabtan.
He was known as Lugad Raib n Derg.

Factna assembled the princes, ollams, nobles, and tribunes at Teacmor Tabarta and he was elected Ardrig by normal proceedure.

The writings were read the feis held and the games played for 9 days on the Tarbarta campus.

At the second session Degad was critized for his desetion on the battle field of Ard Breiste as was Duac for his failure to respond to personal challange as not all the princes of Mumain had fallen because of him in this battle including in the end himself and he was buried because of his fear without honor.

In his first year Factna again summoned the Assembly to deal with the averice of Ultonnmact toward Ullad.

He found the Tecmor Mur n Ollam in bad condition with only a handful of students.
However he encouraged them.

When he went forth to Ullad to conveine the Bruiteine there at Ardmaca he addressed Scandt of Ulltonmact and peaceful relations were established with him through his son in law Rosruid m Ros and his Daugter Allita Rosruds wife.

Factna gave gifts to the Danaan.

He continued to rule Errion with wisdom and justice but kept the comlanns trained for battle.

In Factnas 6th year 24 BC Fionnlaoc died and his son Eocaid Feidnolac [Eochu] was elected king of Laigean.

This king formented some treason against Ardrig around 14 BC.
This was the year his father Fionnlaoc died and he beceme king of Laigean.

There was some affiliation between Eocaids house and Caibre of Iber regarding the birth of the triplets and Clotha who later caused the Nia Nair [infant shame] scandal.

Through the cromfears of Laigean and Ultonnmact wherin dwelt Degad still up to no good, these plans for revolt against Ardrig were fomented.

Factna directed private letters to Eocaid regarding this matter and peace continued in Errion.

In 7 BC Factna 23 years Ardrig the king went to Dun Soberce and in sailing the royal galley on the Foist he saw in the distance fire beyond Dunsoberce palace.
He thought this was the mur n ollav and returned to shore immediately.

As he was leaving the ship his foot slipped and he fell into the water.
Nevertheless wet and dripping ,he went to the fire which as it turned out was not the mur n ollav but a clachan [cluster of houses] of the Gaal.
He became overheated fighting this blaze adn that night could not sleep.

He told no one of his discomforture but after 18 days of this suffering he died.

He was well lamentetd by his people and buried in Dunsoberce his carn near Eocaid Ollam Fodla.
His people had sorrow for this death many days.

He was written in the rolls of kings of both Ullad and Teacmor as

Factna Adac
Factna the Fortunate.

Caibre m Fiactna the oldest son was elected king of Ullad at Ard Sceulact Bruiteine.

At the same time 7 BC Lugad m Caibre brotherof Duac king of Mumain died and his son Craobtan was elected king of Mumain.

7-6 BC

Caibre m Factna was elected Ardrig at Teamor Tabarta.
The writings of Eolus and the Cronicles of Gaalag [stiill extant] were heard and the games held and the feis celebrated.

At this time Craobtan king of Mumain having hatred for Ir in general refused to eat with the rest of Errion princes and nobles.
Degad through the many cromfears continued in Ultonnmact
to incite a spirit of discontent against Ullad.

At the second session this year 1/3 of Mumains nobles of Mumain did not attend.
When inquiry was made as to why this was by the chief of Ib Drong Tireas.
Craotan replied that did he not know the princes had all died at the battle of Ard Breiste.

Caibre denounced this combative language and ordered the Ardollam Feilmid to read the Tanasteac and the law tracts of Errion.

Than the Cronicles were read and no one replied to the query
Stands anyone on Tabarta demanding justice?
The great portals were closed and all returned to their own strongholds.

When Caibre returned to Ullad he assembled the Ullad Assembly and spoke of the war clouds gathering over Errion and asked his chiefains to keep the phalanx on a war footing and well practiced.

He ordered the ranks of the Clanna Ruidruide filled to the full muster.

The 1sat year of Caibres reign as Ardrig was spent in Ullad preparing the Comlanns for any event.

He than appointed his brother Concobar viceroy of Ullad and started for Teacmor.

He camped south of the Eider river at Magmortgeimna of the monument to the treaty between Danaan and Iber Sciot Gaal made on June 2 around 1199 BC or so.

At midnight the camp was attacked by a battalion of consipritors killing the sentinal guards without alerting the camp and murdered Caibre as he slept.

His body was rescued by a few suvivors of the camp and taken back to AodMagnMaca where he was buried close to Aod son of Badorn m Airgeadmor.

Nis brother Concobar was elected king of Ullad.

Duac mCaibre 37-30 BC

2008-08-11T12:53:00.001-07:00

Duac m Caibre 37-30 BC

Duac M Caibre m Geinadamaer m Noid M AdamaerI m Fearcorb m Eunda M Lugad king of Mumain was elected ing of Errion in this manner.

When Factna who was Conngaals appointed vicroy heard Conngaal had fallen in battle he sent from his pavilion at Teacmor as Congaal had him living there while the king resided at Ardmaca palace.

He sent to Feargais m Leid m Ruidruide Mor to send the Eisaon and Royal Robe to Tabarta.
Feargais did this and these were laid on the throne at Teacmor in the high kings chambers.

Teacmor was than left inthe charge of the high steward and Factna and Feargais went to Aodmagnmaca.

The Assembly of Ullad was conviened there and Fiactna m Ros m Ruidruide was elected king of Ullad.

When the Assembly at Teacmor were conviened they elected Duac m Caibre m Geinadamaer m Niad Seadman m Feracorb m Eunda m Lugad of Mumain at the first session.
The nobles of Laigean voted for Duac for his protection of Degad m Suin m Fearmara m Oilliol Aron m Aongais Tuirmeac.

At this junture the long time ally Ultonnmact under Scandt became unfriendly to Ullad and did not come to the Assembly of Ullad.

In Duacs 2nd year Roigne died and Fionnlaoc m Roigne Ruid was elected king of Laegean.

Fionnlaoc was at one with Duac and Mumain and the Ardrig.

Because Roigne died before Iarsgith [July] no king was elected in Laigean and the General Assembly at Teacmor usualy held in July was not assembled.

Duac Ardrig did not dwell at the palace of Teacmor built by Eocaid Ollam Fodla in 703 BC and Tabarta was lonely.

Factna of Ullad noted this lapse of Assembly in the Cronicles of Ullad.

After 3 more years Degad m Suin came of age to rule 25 as required by Tanasteac and Duac of Mumain left him as viceroy of Mumain and went to Teacmor.

AT this time old Scandt king of Ultonnmact and Degans sister Bageala was given in marriage by Degad to Allat of the Danaan royal house.

He also tryed to intimidate Ultonnmact the dislike of Ullad.

Because Fionnlaoc was as one with Iber whatever Duac Ardrig ordered FinnLaoc did.

Duac however listened to Degad m Suin m Olliol m Oilliol Aran m Fearmara of the union of Tuirmec and Aine of the house of Iolar.

Duac was the only one who could not see that Degads intentions was to elevate Iolar and bring down Iber.

After 5 years of rule by Duac no General Assembly had yet been called.

In his 6th year 31 BC Factna called the Assembly of Ullad at Ardmaca and called up the Clanna Ruidruide to their hall.

The king Factna m Cas stated that the Bruinteine Hall even without the Ultonnmact contingenet was to small for all to hear along with the Clanna .
He therfore had them all assembled at Ardsceulact Bruiteine as was done beofe Aodmagnmaca had been constructed.
That all could hear the kings word.

A platform was built a step above the ground for the king and all the chieftains, nobles, princes, ollams gathered on one side while the Clanna Ruidruide Knights stood on the other.

The king than spoke.
He appeared befoe the Assembly and outlined a synoptic history of the provence from Ciombaot and Maca to Ruidruide 235 years before and that they had lived without distruction in Ullad as had occurred in Mumian and Laigean.
How these two houses had assasinated each other and carried on internicene killings even in time of peace.

And how the sons of Mumain and Leogaire had kept their half of the island in confusion where Mumain aided the sons of Leogaire on the account of Aine of Coriat.

This disruption continued until Aognais Tuirmeac and his son Fearmara came to them and were given a tanasteac possession of land by Ruidruide Mor.
This was Aran.

He than cited the disruption caused by Suin m Oilliol Aran grandson of Fearmara and his son Degad where princes of Mumain fell because of them.

And he related how Degad and the Laigean had been banished from Ullad and Aran by Conngaal where they were protected by Duac Ardrig and he told again of the eric fine and the fall of Conngaal.

He accused the children of Iolar as being treacherous and coveting authority and thinking they were entitled to the sole rule of Erin because Iolar had assumed title of Ermion when Mumain princes and Irs princes were to young to rule.

He said Mumain and Laigean would cast a dark cloud over Erin if they were not careful.

He said at this point Ullad stood alone having only as their friend the law tract of Errion agtainst Mumain, Laigean and Ultonnmact.

He said Duac had not called an Assembly in his 2nd year of reign using Roignes death as an excuse.

After 4 years he still called no Asssemby.

He cited Duacs motive as being the distain and disrespect for the law held by Iolar generaly.

He asked an Embassy be sent to Ardrig calling for an Assembly at Teacmar Tabarta according to the practice of the law.
The Ullad Assembly concured by hadn vote.
The king asked all to stay with him there till the Embassy returned.

Ardrig answered the Embassy that if he wanted Ullads advise from Factna he would consult whom he chose.

When Duac words were erad publicly in the Ullad Bruiteine at Ard Sceulact the king asked
Is Ullad Errion to be ruled by an individuala who put his will over the land?
He asked if the chieftans woudld dethrone such an one unworthy to reign.

Breas chief of Magmortgeimna [Muirteimne] wanted action but Factna told him not to act hastily to war over the death of Congaal but because Duac had broken the law of Errion when he failed to conveine the General Assembly for 6 years.

He than asked that Duac answer his transgressions of the law.
And it was so.

The king than ordered the comlanns of Ullad gathered on a great war footing and in a full force.

The cromfears wanted to join the battle but Factna would not allow them to accompanyt the armys sayign they spoke decietfully and had been go betweens for Laigean and Mumain.

He thought them to be plotting to do evil against Ir and gave the words of Eocaid Ollam Fodla to guard the sacred fire and mark the seasons.

Ardrig Duac amassed the comlanns of Mumain and Laigean and the chiefs of Ultonnmact gave support to him.

These were gathered on the plain of Sith Druim and encamped believing Factna would follow them there from Ullad where they were at Ardeas.

This army was so great that provisions were in doubt if the war were long fought.

Claana Ruidruide said they had enough food in Ullad and after Mumain and Laigean would provide for them.

The king however objected to the taking of spoils from the enemys saying the children of Ir were not cow drivers like Mumain and Laigean.

He than sent the old men and boys to gather his own cattle and the cattle of the princes of Ir and to follow the army as they went on the march.

When the Ardeas army moved through Laegean it was deserted and lonely.
Their thousands had gathered with Mumains thousnds at Sit Druim and Ard Breister .
The whole upland covered with their tents.

Ullad stayed in the plain and fortified the position.

At first lite Mumain marched down fromt he height.

Factna sent his heralds to proclaim they had come to hear Ardrig as to why he shieleded Dagad who was a fugative and a felon.
And why Teacmnor Tabarta remained closed contrary to law.

Duac said he woud chase Ullad out of Mumain.

Factna challanged Duca to a single combat.

Duac refused.
He was the first king of the house of Iber to do so.

The battle began and raged all day till twilight.

Ullad comlanns drove the comlanns of Mumain and Laigean before them.

Clanna Ruadruide sought out Duac attached to the center of his forces charged through the army and killed Dauc.

Deagad and Laigean escaped however leaving comlanns of Mumain to fight alone.

The plain of Sit Druim was covere with the dead.
The soil soft with blood.

Duac and 27,000 men were killed at the battle of Ard Breiste.

After Degad and Laigean fled as they had fled with Suin when Cairbre fell , Factna orderd Duac and the princes of Iber be taken from the comman burial and they built a carn on the plain of Sit Druim.

The deeath cry was chanted and the war song was sung over the fallen princes and chieftains of Iber, but not over Duac because he had refused the challange to single combat.

Duac m Cairbre had reigned 7 years as Ardrig and was called

Duac Dalta Degad
[Duca blind to Degad]

Conngaal 43-37 BC

2008-08-10T18:05:00.000-07:00

Congaal M Breadsal m Ruidruide Mor 43-37 Bc

Congaal Claroineac Sait Carnec was inagurated Ardrig of Errion.

The Feis was held and the games after he was elected and the Assembly dispersed to their Deagduns.

In the first year he found Suin m Oilliol Aran m Fearmara m Aongeas Tuirmeac was making treachery and he filed an inditement against Suin.

Feilmid chief of Iargaill said Suin had come to his tents and invited him, Feilmid to his land and Feilmid went to hunt and fish.

As Feilmid hesitated in his testimony Aod of Larne chastised this and Feilmid said he was loath to repeat publicly Suins words said to him at his table as he had been taught to betray no one.

He would not repeat Suins words.

Suin did however explain some of the happenings which had provoked the inditment against him.
Apparently his hostility arose because Breadsal m Ruidruide when he was king of Ullad spoke wrathfully to Suins father Doncad m Oilliol Aron.

However Breadsal later appologised to Doncad for his wrathful speach saying he was only human.

This apology however was not made publicly therefore the rumor of the kings sharp rebuke of Doncad remained with the people and came to Suins attention.

This argument had arisen because Eisgair king of Ultonnmact daughter Alita had married Ros of Ullad and this would cause their child to become heir to Ardmaca and Ullad.

Suin m Doncad M Oilliol Aran decendant of Fearmara the incestual son of Aine and her father Aongais was asking the chiefs to acknowledge himself as heir to Ultonnmact when Eisgair died and have him as king of that reign and he would thus render to his friend Feilmid of Iargall the lands of Mageintir which had ben given his ancestor Fearmara.

This was Suins statement publicly of the conversation he had with Feilmid in his tents.

The Assembly through the Ardollam Meleis, discussed if the chief Feilmid could repeat this conversaation he heard which provoked the inditement agains Suin in the ear of Congaal only.

But the cheif of Larne asked that Suin be summoned to answer Feilmids words and he agreed to appear at the Assembly of Errion at Teacmor.
His right asa prince of Errion.

However this was not possible and vain as Tanasteac forbid the Errion participation as Geintir was within the kingdom of Ullad from the start and therfore under the jurisdiction of Ullad not the Assembly of Errion.
[another expression of states rights and the laws of property still extant today in America].
Suin had confidence that he would be free of th charges if the case were brought at Tabarta.
but when it was ruled at Ardmaca that he had not apeared before the Bruiteine of Ullad and an arrest warrent had been issued by them he fled from Aron in Geintir to Laigean.

His son Degad went to Congaal the Ardrig of Errion to appeal for his intervention.

Congall however replied in the Ardollam Meklis of Ullad presence that he would not speak evil of his father Suin in Degads presence and that the Ullad Assembly would say what should be done.

But he conceeded that his silence on this matter did not assume that Suin woud be freed and the arrest warrent could not be recinded by the federal ruler.

At this time Conngaal was resident at Ardmaca and he was also king of Ullad.

Congall treated Degad as a prince and he remained for a time at Aod Magn Maca.

After he had left the king Conngaal told his Ardollam Melis that Degad would be more deceitful than Suin or any of the other people of Iolar.

This opinion was just for Degad so proved even decieving his own father Suin as he convinced him not to return to Ullad filling Suins mind with fear and apprehension of returning to Ullad.

Suin dwelt in Mumain with Caibre the king and Congaal sent messengers requesting he give up his refugee Suin saying he had committd evil in Ullad and should not be hrbored by Mumain.

Caibre refused to comply to Ullads request saying his friends under his pavillion would not be extradited and any one who annoyed Suin would be an enemy of Caibre.

Conngaal then assembled the Clanna Ruidruide and commanded the chieftans to prepare for war.

He did not call on Laigean or Ultonnmact,
but sent the Knights of Ullad to bring back Suin who he deamed now a felon and a fugative even though he had not yet ben convicted by the assembly of Ullad.

Cairbe arrayed his forces and the armys met on CluannaTuam .
Ullads charges brought havoc to Mumain but they stood their ground.

Caibre was killed by Cuir m Ardfear chief of Rathboth who was a knight of Clanna Ruidruide.
[RAthboth is later identified in history as Raphoe].

Cuir took as trophy the sword ,mail and shield of Cairbre.

Suin was able to flee again when the king of Mumain died for him and this flight turned the people against him.

He subsequently became ill and died.

Conngall the victor marched comlanns back to Ardmaca and hung the arms of Caibre of Mumain in the great hall of the Clanna Ruidruide under Rathboths sons shields of Cuir.

Congaal did not permit any prase of Cuir.

There was no noise shouting or shield clashing allowed.

Duca the son of Caibre was elected king of Mumain and shortly thereafter Degad bgan to formulat a plan of revenge in Ullad.

Congaal at this point removed himself from Ardmaca to Teachmor and appointed Factna m Cas m Ruidruide Mor viceroy of Ullad.

Degads malice was told to Factna.

When Degad was discovered yet not proven that a conspiracy was afoot Conngall sent a message to Factna telling him to expell Degad and all the Laigeans in Ullad out of Ullad in the next quarter [90 days] and that they should take with them all their treasures and effects from Aron.

Thus Degad and his tribe were expelled from Ullad and went into Mumain where Duac m Cairbre welcomed them.

At this point Factna was told Degad had formed a conspiracty to dethrone the line of Ir and set up their own dynasty in Ullad.

Congaal sent to Duac of Mumain to yeild up Degad to answer this charge of treason.

Duac refused saying as Carbre his father had fallen defending Suin so he would fall defending Degad.

Congaal than called Duac also to answer the inditement at Teacmor why he whould not render up Degad.

After the 1st session readings and the feis and games were held Congaal addressed the 2nd assembly session regarding the review of th case saying Suin had done evil to Ullad and protected by Cairbe of Mumain who died for this Felon Suin and now Duac m Caibre would also suffer for his protection of Degad Suins son.

He cited the gravity of war and that these Mumain princes as well as those of Aron had transgressed the law of Errion.

He asked Duac who was present at this hearing if or if not Degad were in his tents in Mumain.

Duac replied that he was and that his protection would continue as well as any other who sought it.

Conngaal cited the great expence to the people of Ullad who had to march from one exteme of the country to the other with its army all of whom had to be paid by the children of the land and in which Caibre lost his life.

He cited Duacs reprehensible behavior in retaining his refugee Degad and his degrading of the law or respect for the law of hospitality.

He demanded Duac deliver up Degad to answer the law of Errion.
[it had prviously been determined that Suin was subject only to the law of Ullad not Errion]

When Ducac refused stating he would protect Degad to the end the king affirmed that he would uphold the law of Errion vs the law of hospitality and refuge offered by Duac.

He claimed the right as being Ardrig a step above that of his brother rulers.

He assessed an eric against Duac as costs ajudged on the guilty party asking for 9000 cows a year till Duac complied with the law.

This decree was recorded and the Assmbly of Errion was ajounred.

At this juncture Eismion Aine m Fearmara M Aongais Tuirmeac king of Laigean died and his son Roigne was electe d king of Laegean.

conngall king of Ullad and Errion went back to Ardmaca leaving Factna his viceroy of Ullad at Tabarta assembled in his tents not the kings palace.

The times were dark and troubled.

Duac whose mother was from Laigean Gaalen and a decendant of Iolar was more morose than the Mumain Iber.

When the time came to pay the eric cattel tax laid by Conngal and these cattle were not forthcoming the king sent a message asking for the cows.

Degad answered this mesage sayign all the cattle had not yet calved nor could the oldest calfs walk that far.

Conngaal at this assembled the comlanns.

When this muster reached Eudan Daire the chieftans of Oir were there and advised these cattle were being driven by the herdsman on the Road to Teamair.

Conngaal however ordere that this eric herd be driven instead to Scant the king of Ultonnmact and it was so.

His army returned to Ullad.

The next year the fine was paid in like a manner.

In the 3rd year no fine came even though Degad remained in Mumain.

Duac answered the messenger saying his substaince would no longer be squandered on Conngaals friends.

Another muster of comllans was called by the king of Ullad and Laigen at Urlann plain around the Ardrig.

Conngall did not sent for the comlanns of the Danaan of Ultonnmact as Scant had previously returned cattle to Duac as he was against Irs son because of Alita daughter of Eigaire being married to Ros m Ruidruide Mor.

Conngaal arrived with Ullad and the Clanna Ruidruide at Urlann where were pitched 1/2 a comlann [1500 men] of Laigean.

The chief of Magglein came to Caonngall saying the rest of Laigeans army were marching to Sitdruim and asked Ardrig to march there to wait their arrival.

Conngaal had no suspicion of doubt of this and hence they marched with this force to Sit Druim.
After 6 days wait there the guard saw the army of Mumain coming on their rear and the army of Laigen coming in their front.

The comlans of Ullaad wheeled to face Mumain.

Ardrig delayed waiing for Laigean to join him but Roigne was not among his troops.
The cinncomlanns than percieved treachery afoot.

As Conngall arranged his army against Mumain, Laigean attcked from the rear.

This created a battle against Mumain by a third of Ullads force on the right and another 3rd on the left against Laigean.

Conngall challenged Duac to come forward but he did not.

The battle continued and Congaal fell wounded 12 times by the Gaal[common soldiers].

His army howeve continued the fight as RosRuat m Ros m Ruiduride took his place as commander of the commlanns.

He was a captian of the Clanna Ruidruide and he extracted Ullads army from this position beteeen Mumain and Laegean and broke the army with great slaughter.

He than encamped that night on the plain of Sith Druim.

The dead were buried where they fell.

The body of Conngall with Artan Chiefan Ardeas and Larne were guarded through the night.

A request was made to seize spoils from Laigean and Mumain but Ros Commanded that the army of Ullad would recieve no spoils.

And so it was.

The 4 corpses of the king and the chieftains were carried in war chariots back to Ullad.

Conngalls carn was built in Ardmaca near that of Aod m Badorn m Airgeadmor.
The death dirage was chanted and the war song for the Ardrig.
The first one of the kings of Ullad since Airgeadmor 303 years earlier. .
Ullad morned Conngall calling him good and just.
He was called Congaal SiatCarneac

Geiadamaet 67-64 BC

2008-08-10T18:00:00.000-07:00

Geinadamaer Ionna 67-64 BC

Geinadamaer Ionnatamare m Niad Seadmama m Naoieis m AdamaerI m Fearcorb M Eunda of the house of Eber had come to Ardmaca to relay inforamtion regarding Eismion Aire of Laigean and told Breadsal of his desire to be Ardrig and they decided it would be so.

At the first assembly Eisgaire of Ultonnmact nominated Geinadamaer.
Ullad Ultonnmact and Mumian voted for him by hand count.
He did not sit Lia Fail.
Bresdsal placed the crown on his head and Eisgaire the robe.

Eolus was read and Gaalag Cronicles [still extant] the games were held and the feis.

After 3 years as Ardfear Geinadomaers mount put his foot in badger hole and the king was pitched over the head of the animal where his neck was broken and he died instantly.

64-55 BC

Breadsal of Ullad son of Ruindruide the Great known as Breadsal Baidiobad was king 9 years.

He was elected over Eismoin Aine king of Gaalen Liagean as many of the nobles were opposed to him because he was part Feotar[Cruiten] as his mother was a daughter of Brandt of Feotar and they would not vote for him on this account.

Breadsal did not sit Lia Fail.
Lugad of Mumain crowned him and Eisgair of Ultonnmact placed the robe on his shoulders.
The feis and games were held.
the writings read and all the ancient useage observed.

Errin was plentiful ,profoundly so.
Great Abundance was in the land and many grazing herds of sheep and cattle and every peasent had silver and gold.

The Feine merchants came again to barter and trade for cattle, oxen, sheep , wheat, barley , oats , flax and wool and especially horses which were large, swift and strong.

Currency was accepted as well as goods in trade.

In Breadsals 6th year 58 BC a cattle plague came over the land and 2/3rds of the stock died.

There remains were hardly buriable as the decay tainted the air.

The distruction was so great that Ardfear prohibited the collection of tribute throughout Errion.

After 9 years as Ardrig Breadsal died.

Lugad Luigne m Geinadamaer of Iber house Munster was elected king of Errion.
He sat Lia Fail and took his place on the throne.
The writings were read.
The feis held and the games.

When the Assembly ajourned and the portals were closed.
All the members went to their own strongholds now Deagduns.

No longer the free pavilion of tents in the land.

Lugad had married Measaac a daughter of Croabtan of Laigean.
Because of this allinace Mumain and Laigaen retained friendly relations.

It was rumored that a covenant existed between Iber [Muain] and Iolar [Laigaen] that they should keep Ardrig between them forever.

Congaal of Ulalad came to Lugad to warn him not to put to much trust in the sharp talons of the eagle Iolar or hope in the appearance of things.

Lugad however told him not to worry and at this Congaal held his peace.

After 12 years of Lugads reign a great chase and stag hunt took place and Lugad became overheated .

He reigned in his steed Ceantreum at a spring and drank a great deal.
This killed him instantly.

Caibre Lugads Brother was elected king of Mumain.

Ruidruide the Great 74-67 BC

2008-08-10T12:35:00.000-07:00

Ruidruide the Graet 74-67 Bc

When Ruidruide came from the battle his comlanns of Ullad came like a wave to Tabarta and pitched thier tents on the plain below,
as Ruidruade would allow no armed warriors to stand on Tabarta.

When the Assembly nominated him to be king of Errion he refused until a king of Laigean be elected.

Laigean assembly then met at Magnas and chose Eismion Aine the son of Eunda the son of Aongais Turmeac by his daugher Aine.

This Eismion Aine of Iolar married a Feotar Cruiten of the house of Brandt and the son of this union of Iolar and Cruiten was called Roigne or Rogen Ruad.

This again reunited the familiarity and alliance of Cruiten with the Gallan Laigen begun with Duac Maon Labrad whose mother was also a Cruiten and having brought the 2 Cruiten comlanns to Errion.

After this was done the Assembly again sat and elected Ruidruide as king of Errion.

He did not sit Lia Fail in the tradition of his ancestors Eocaid Ollam Fodla.

However he let his son Breadsal go to invite the cromfers to his corination.

All the traditonal books were read; the feis and games held and joy was felt that after 238 years had elasped since Ciombaot and Maca had founded Aod Magn Maca a member of the house of Er had not presided as king at Tabarta.
Mmumain and Laigean had been left to do good or evil as they were disposed.

He said there was no more similarity between Iber and Iolar than between a hawk and an owl.

Iber was vain adn frivilous loved music and dance and did not esteem science but they were brave and munificent while the children of Iolar were dark and deceitful and melancoly and thought that they should rule Errion forever.

Mumain he said followed poets and minstrels and had little knowledge of anything else.
Laigean was not much more advanced he stated but did know a bit of science.

He commended the Danaan for their staunch alliance to Ullad least the sons of Iolar had submitted the whole island to tribute.

He again invited the 8 representatives of the Dannaan to sit among the princes and nobles of Ullad to confer and vote with them.

And it was so.

All the transactions with Eisgair of Ultonnmact were recorded in the Tanasteac.

This Assembly stayed in session a month reading the writings.

Errion than waxed in peace and plenty for the rest of the reign of Ruidruide.

He was king of Ulster 55 years and Errion 7 years when Ruidruide the Great sickened and died.

His carn was built on Cluaineac beside Airgeadmor as he had requested this graveyard being close to Dunsoberce.

His olderst son Breadsal was elected king of Ullad.

Craobtan 77-74 BC

2008-08-10T12:29:00.000-07:00

Craobtan Cosgrac 77-74 BC

Croabtan m Feidmid m Eocaid m Gialcad of the house of Iolar was called Croibtan Cosgrac[foot rack].

He was elected king of Laigean and than with the death of Eunda king of Errion.

He sat Lia Fail and was crowned and robed by Ardcromfear.

The feis was held and the games played according to usuage.

Criobtan made a Progress threw Mumain with an armed force of comlanns and retainers big enough to be called an army.

He claimed this was only a chase but he proceeded to stir up envy between Mumain and Laigean.

Meanwhile Ruidruide the Great king of Ullad now some 45 years, kept his army at the ready and well trained.
Although he loved learning , music ,the dance and the chase he also loved exploits in arms.

He built a fort and armory near Ardmaca [fort navan] where the nobles and youth of the kingdom could learn to practice arms and folow the codes of Seadna.

the military school [the westpoint of Ireland] was well filled with the youth of Ullad.

He believed in a well trained and well honed army even these were not used.

Ruidruide watched carefully the explots of Criobtan and he ordered a feast inviting all the princes, chieftans, tribunes and free born warriors with the sons of Ullad.
When the banquet was concluded all went to the armory and drill room and the youth to the exersise ground.

Ruidruide recalled for them the days of Calma when he left Iber and at Tubal near the Caucassus with his brother Ronard went off to found their own society of Companies.

After this remembrance he formed the Royal Knights from those gathered youth and of Ullad under his sons his firtborn ,Breadsal and his 8 brothers .
And it was so.

All the sons of Ruidruide went forth each with 100 of the bravest youth to be found and these formed a great circle about the king.

The king than said Mumain and Laigen were ready to disrupt the peace.

He directed each prince henceforth to fight at the head of his own comlann and just the Royal Knights and these 900 men would protect the king.

He also directed all youth of Ullad would spend 3 years in military school to learn the practice of war and arms[ universal militray training].

These knights were called the Curatii and they took a public oath by Baal Re and Tarsnac which was:

I will not surender to any of three.
I will comfort in time of peace, and
Aid in battle every knight of this company.
I will chastise pride and injustice.
I wil shield the weak from injury.

Each raised his right hann and swore the oath.

Maol chief of Rathbot asked what name should be given the Curatii and the king named them
Clanna Rudruide.

The assembled youth than clashed their shields 9 times repeating
Clanna Ruadruide.

Criobtan kept the 2 southern provinces in termoil.

His hand was always on the hilt of his sword and he was proud to be called Casgairt[ twisted laugh{a good example of how the english spelling diverts the meaning of the word in Irish grac tranlating as rack and cos as foot or leg while cas in Irish is twist and gairt is laugh} ].

In Criobtans 3rd year 74 BC the Laigean quesatorsa entered Ullad and drove off herds.

Ruidruide accosted Ardrig who were these 'theives' posing as tax collectors.

When Criobtan refused to answer this question Ullad proposed to indite at the assmelby against Ardrig.

Ruidruide recieved no response from Ardrig and advised him when he came it would be at the head of the comlanns.

The prepartaion for war betwen Ullad and Ardrig was heard throught out Errion.

Ultonnmact forever ally to Ullad convened its wesatern army ready to serve Ruidruide.
Ruidruide enlisted this aid and got a messge to Eisgair their king to march to Tabarta to aid him.

Criobtan called the comlanns of Mumain and Laigean at Magnas and this confederated force marched towards Ullad.

Ullad forces however had already crossed the Buideaman [Boyne] Ullads southern border.

These armys met and Ruidruide called for Criobtan to face the witherd bloom of the line of Er.

Croibtan sprang foward in front.

Ruidruide dismounted to fight him saying waht matters his age of 45 years that he sought no advantage.

The Clanna Ruidruide watched the conflict between the old king of Ullad and Criobtan of Laigean Gaalen.

Ruidruide proceded with expetrtise and coolnes until Criobtan sank and died.

Ruidruide the Great than proceeded to Teacmor.

Conngaal- Eunda 101-77 BC

2008-08-10T07:28:00.001-07:00

Conngaal 101-94

Conngaal m Idersceul m Feargais m Beardsal m Aongais m Duac Maon m Oilliol m Leogaire m Utgoine Mor was elected king of Laigean on the death of the old king Aongais Tuirbec Teamrac.

This person would have beent he Greatgrandson of Aongais which does not seem plausable in age factoring but who knows it may be.

Conngaal was than elected king of Errion.

He sat Lia Fail and recieved the eisaon and royal robe from Ard Cromfear.

The Eolus writings and Cronnicles of Gaalag [still extant] were read.

The feis of Teacmor and the games on Tabarta field were held.
All custom and useage were done properly.

However Adamaer II king of Mumian son of Naoieis and great grandson of Fearcorb was against the son of Feargais of Laigen and had ambitions himself to be Ardrig.

In Ardrigs 5th year at the time of the General Assembly AdamaerII marched on Teacmor with his comlanns.

Ardrig went out to meet the Mumain Army and the battle was fought on Almuin plain where Congaal fell and his army was cut to pieces.

94-87-BC Adamaer II

AdamaerII mac Seadmuire m Naoieis m Adamaer I m Fearcorb m Eunda of the house of Iber marched directly from the Almuin battle field to Teacmor.

He pitched his tents on Tabarta and was elected Ardrig by the comlanns of Mumain.

At Magnas Eunda m Aongais Tuirmec and Aine ingen of Aongais was elected king of Laigean.

He was called Eanna Aigneac a son of Aine.

Eunda was a prince to all but Ardrig Adamaer 2.

He Eunda stired up trouble for Ardrig at evdery turn and tried to inlist Ruidruide the Great king of Ullad for some 29 years to his aid.
But Ruidruide rebuked him .

However Laigean had not the manpower to resist Mumains comlanns who were still divided between the followers of Duac Maon and the followers of Adamaer II the Ardrig.

This division of princes created the two Munsters North and South Thomond and Desmond the decendants of Duac Maon and Gilcaid or Loegaires decendants vs Gialcaids descendants.

Ardrig AdamaerII himself was warlike and therfore gave a stong hand to Eundas rebelious activities.

Eunda continued to revolt and marched on Ardrig Adamaer.

The two arms met and Ardrigs small force could not stand against Eundas coalition forces now 20 to 1.

As night fell Ardrig was carried to his tents where he died before Morning.
His carn was built over the tent he died in there at the battle site.

His warriors chanted the war song and the death cry was played on the pipes.

He had been king 7 years.

87-77 Eunda

Eunda m Aongais Tuirmeac m Duac m Beardsal m Aongais m Duac Maon m Oilliol m Leogaire m Utgoine Mor and also tracable in the line from Tuirmeac to Connla m Etersceul m Feargais back to Melgat and Gialcad m Utgoine and also to Aongais daugher Aine in this house of Iolar of Gaalen Laigean.

He was elected Ardrig of Errion not Geinadamaer son of Adamaer 2.

The writings were read still.
The feis held and the games.
The law tracts and Cronicles of Errion read
The gates were closed.
No one answered the call for justice.

Eunda as Ardrig was munificent, bountiful and plentious but he permitted his courtiers transgressions of the laws and sheilded them from inditment.
The protection of the king later made so famous by English and French monarchs of later days.

He also did not favor his Gailcad relatives , persecuted them and was onthe road to injustice.

However he distributed magnificant gifts to the people.

Because Eunda paid no heed to the princes of his own house many of those began to follow Criobtan [border people diluted]of the Gialcad line.

Criobtan was fearless and he was married to Beirat a princess of Mumain and child of Aongais of that Iber Tanasteac.

In the 10th year of Eunda Aigneac son of Aine ingen of Aongais a general Assembly was ordered and the questors went out to levy new tax and to seize eric fines where they could.
Criobtan spoke to the king of this but Eunda turned a deaf ear.

Therefore Criobtan sent word by mouth to ear and the comlanns were assembled against Ardrig.

These forces met at Cluan Daire and Ardrigs dignity wes of no help to him in battle.

As these 2 armys killed each other all day bodies were draped over each other in great heaps on the medow land.

Eunda fella and was killed in 77 BC.

He had been Ardrig for 10 years.

Aongais Tuirmeac 131-101 BC

2008-08-07T17:52:00.001-07:00

Aongaid Tuirmeac 131-101 BC

Aongais Tuirmeac m Feargais m Duac Maon m Oilliol m Leogaire was elected hi king of Errion.
In this prince the 2 warying factors of Utgoine Mors desendants came together.

Eocaid m Oilliol m Connla being the line of Giolcad Cobtac and Feargais line being the other parent of Aongais.

In typical Irish fashion the daugher of these alliances is not named nor her generation usually announced so we know not which is the mother and which is the father of Aogais Tuoirmeac also called Teamrac.

He was however on both sides of the Iolar line of Gaalen.
He was elected king of Laigean at Magnas and the Assembly elected him king of Errion.
He remained so for 30 years.

Aongais won hearts by love not war.

Concobar of Ullad died in 129 BC and Eocaid his son was elected king of Ullad.

This may have been Cormac as the text formerly discribes Cormac as elected to replace his father Concobar.

In 125 BC Aongais Ardrig visited Ardmaca and Eocaid king of Ullad.
All went well on this courtly visit.
The harpers trained by Crafteine played and Feargaire chanted the tale of Moan and Moriat.

In the spring of 124 BC when the blossoms began to appear and the birds sang and the fish sported in the streams and rivers
Aongais went west to Coirmac chief of Fobar a friend of Leogaires decendants.

They went on a chase and Aongais had to much wine.

He was a lover of maidens by nature.
AS it happened his daughter Aine was there with Mara the daughter of Taos and Neirida.
Mara was a very beautiful blond.

When Aongais Tuirbec returned to Teacmor he recalled this beauty.

Ardfear m Feargrim of Oir dwelt there with the king and Ardfear loved Aine but he had no hope for she was daughter of the king.

Ardfear however confided his love to the friend Mara of Fobar.

One day as these 2 were talking Aongais overheard them and discerned that a tryst was to be held the evening of the next day.
This tryst was being arranged between Aine and Ardfear with Mara the chara [friend] as go between.

As that day a chase was held at Coirmac and after a banquet in which again Aongais drank to much wine.

In this drunken state he secretly proceeded to the place of tryst.

Aine had been sent there by Mara wrapped in Ardfears cloak.

Shortly she heard footsteps and she bcame shy and tried to hide in the bushes but Aongais in a frenzy of passion and drunk violently accosted her believing it was his hearts desire Mara the Chara.
He raped her and left the girl unconcious where Mara later found her defiled frind.

They both thought the perpetrator to have been poor Ardfear and began to hate him.

Finally Litta Coirmacs wife was told the whole sordid tale and Litta sent after Ardfesr and accosted him with this violation but he was so nieve he didnt know what she was talking about.
He went therfore to Mara to have an explaination.

When he came there the maids screamed out and fainted.
He just stood there not knowing waht to do.

When Litta discovered him there she cried out that he was not welcome and called him treacherous saying he would be punished by the king.

He swore by Baal, Re and Tarsnach that he knew nothing of the accusation causing her anger or the fearful screams of his friend Mara.
Litta than asked him was it not he who had violated Aine the night before.

Ardfear said he was innocent and went forth to find the perpetrator on the crime.

When Mara went out she heard a person behind her and turning it was Ardrig Aongais who wispered to her of the delight he had had in the clump of bushes.

Mara then persieved what had happened and accosted him with his incestual sin.

When the king found out he had ravished the wrong woman he shut himslef up in Teacmor.

But as fate would have it this occurance left Aine pregnant and eventually she bore a male child.

This child Aongais Tirmeac ordered cast into the sea at BinnAdair which his steward Leotardat did.

However the sea threw the infant back on shore in his costly wrappings and the people found him and took the babe to Teacmor Tabarta.
When this was done Aongais the king assembled the cromfers and the Ardcromfear and confessed the whole matter asking their advise.

The Ardcromfear offered to take this infant till Baal gave them instruction as to what should be done.
And it was so.

Later Aongais came demaning Baal rule but Ardcromfer said the infant was born without love, mother or father and should be called Fuadac.
That the child had been torn from the breast cast into the sea and again back to earth and had therfore been purified [baptized] and hence should be sent back to his motehr Aine and named not Fuadac but Fearmara.

He predicted the descenants of this child would rule sea and land and a new Gaal not yet known..
This he told the king was the will of Baal and must be done.

Aongais than sent the baby back to his mother Aine who fondled her child to her.
Aine than dwelt with Mara at Coirmacs tents in Fobar.

During Aongais reign Eocaid of Ullad died and Ruidruide son of Ros of Fomar was elcted king.

The following year Ruidrude made a trip to Cruiten and stayed a quarter [90 days].

Aongais commented to his Ardollam Tuigseac that he had spent 2 divisions [months] among the Feotar and he noted the diffeence beween these people and the Errion.

He siad the Irish people were sweet for talk, very fluent, imprssive and like a mountain torrent rose quickly and suddenly subsided and were to variable.
That the Irish could shed tears of some pitiful case but could commit a deed more cruel than the one they had wept over.

The Cruiten children on the other hand were plodding heavy in speech and multiplying a lot.

The Cruiten had told how they ahd come from a land almost under water [like holland] and had come threw forest and marsh until they came to Cruiten in the days of Airgead Mors grandson Eocaid king of Ullad [300 Bc, Utgoine reign].

These people however had no knowledge of seasons and divisions nor kept any cronicles.

He the king said they had no knowledge but their bodys were strong and their spirit brave.

He expressed consern that Errion take care least Cruiten would contest with her.

At this time Ullad and Ultonnmact were peaceful and content under this ruler.

By now the babe Fearmara had become grown and his father loved him more than he loved his other son Eunda born to his wife Aine,

Eocaid Cais-Feargais m Beardsal 150-131 BC

2008-08-06T13:50:00.000-07:00

Oilliol M Connla 150 143 BC

Eocaid Cais Fiaclac m Oilliol m Connla m Congaal m Melgat m Gailcad m Utgoine Mor became king after killing Adamaer.
He went straight to Tabarta and entered the kings palace.

He called the Assembly to elect an Ardrig but no one came except his own Laigean tribe.
Ullad refused to participate as Laigean and Mumain were arrayed against eact other and had organized the Gaal as enemies of each other.

Mumain elected Naoieis m Fearcorb brother of Adamaer king of Mumian at Brugrig.

Since no one came to Teacmor the nobles of Laigean elected Eocaid Ardrig.

Eocaid wanted ease and spendor.

He dressed in brilliant silks and wore many gems and jewels.

He wore his hair crimped and curled and long down below his shoulders.

He had a new suit for every day from teh Feine weavers and this for 7 years of the time he was Ardrig.

He had a suit of armour and a helmet of red gold.

Concobar of Ullad however commented taht this vain display in a son of Iolar was better than the usual treacherous strife of that line.

After 7 years as Ardrig ,in 143 BC, he conveined the Assembly.
The Feis was held and the games.

But Feargais of the decent of Loegaire made a covenat with Naoieis of Mumian to rebel against the rule of Eocaid a decendant of Gailcad.

In the cold of winter the nobles with him assembled.

Ardrig brough together his commlanns of Laigean.

He sent to Ullad Concobar still than alive and in charge but Concobar only replied the children of Iolar were forever to befoul Erin with the blood of the people.

Feargais went to Tauatmumain where the chieftains of that land joined him .

They went fowrard to the Bruinteine of Laigen at Magnas.

When they were arrayed thus Ardrig having his Laigean comlanns and Ib Lugad,
they threw taunts at one aonther.

The battle raged from sun up till dark when the sun set behind MullacMeist.

Meist was the commander of Feargais force.

Eocaid fell.

His army guarded his body till morning and they than bore him to the summit of Meist and construted his carn there.
They placed a large rock on top o the carn and carved his name on it.

Eocaid Ardrig Laocnasa.

His advesary Feargais went to Magnas and his men raised him on their shields and elected him king of Laigean.

143-137 BC

Feargais m Beardsaal m Aongais Ollum m Duac Maon Labrad m Oilliol M Leogaire m Utgoine Mor
was decared king of Laigean by his men and then taken to Tabarta where they this election by soldiers and commanders was repeated.

No Bruinteine was conviened nor an Assembly.

He sat Lia Fail surrounded by armed comlanns and remained as Ardrig for 3 years before the Assembly of Teacmor was convined and he than sat before them in the chair of Errions king.

Concobar challanged this usurpation and required Feargais to take his place among the princes of Laigean until the Assmebly had elected Ardrig as he had taken the throne from the hand of armed cohorts which no one else answered was not the case.

Feargais complied and Concobar nominated him to sit Ardrig and it was so.

He again went to Lia Fail.
The Ardcromfear put the eisaon on his brow adn Naoieis of Mumain placed the robe on his shoulders.

He than returned to the throne.

The writings of Eolus were heard.
The cronicles of Gaalag publicly read.
The feis and the games were held.
Feine murchants came but they had not the success of sales as they had with Eocaid Laocnasa
Ailtletan the vain and pompous
when it was fashionable for his retainers to also dress in costly vestutures to please the king.

The second session was held.

The law tract read and the Cronicles of Errion.

The Portals closed when no one stood on Tabarta demanding justice.

Feargais than ruled in strict conformity to the letter of the law and Tanasteac practice.

He remained a peaceful prince for 12 years dying in 131 BC with no further contests from the decendants of Gilacad Cobtac who were few in number.

All was held at Tabarta according to useage.

Stand anyone on Tabarta demainding justice
No voice answered.

Oilliol was inclined to peace.

Daire meanwhile desired to turn over Ullad to a yonger ruler but his princes and assembly would not hear of it and he continued on.
After 42 years Daire the old king of Ullad died at Ardmaca.

He was carried from there to Dunsoberce with great weeping and lament and laid to rest in his carn constructed close to that of Eocaid Ollam Fodla.
He was called Daire Agnac Moltac. [with that praise support]

After this at Ardmaca Bruitein Ros m Concober m Daire was chosen king of Ullad.

In Numain, Iber king of Numaind died and Adamaer m Fearcorb was elected king of Mumain.
Adamaer married a daughter of Strom of Ultonnmact and Ros of Ullad and the childemn of Ir did not see this favorably as they forsaw the riders of Mumain would raid of the cattle of Ulltonmact and their comlanns would overrun the fields of Errion.

These words were true.

In Oilliol m Connlas 25th year 155 BC Adamaer even said he woudl avenge and take eric of mMlgats decendants for the death of his father Fearcorb.

Ros of Ullad m Concober spole to Meirt king of Ultonnmact to stay Strom from taking the Danaans to the aid of Adamaer of Mumian.
Adoamaer however ordered the comlanns of Mumian and Strom his father in law arrayed the Danaans and together they marched to Ceiosiol [Cashel].
Ardrig Oilliol arrived with the army of Lagaen and they came face to face.

Ardrig asked whither goesth Adamaer when even the bees remain within.

Adamaer responded The bees go forth to extract honey from the blossoms but not as hunters who went to Ceas to chase the stag and killed a king.

Adamaer goeth to Teacmor to investigate the blood of his father that was sucked by the trecherous weasel Connla.

the battle began but Oilliols army could not stand against the convederated force of Adamaer.

Oilliol fell and a great distruction of princes and Gaal befell that day.

Adamaer and Strom went on to Teacmor but the Dannaan comlanns went home.

155-150

ADamaer m Fearcorb of the house of Iber was elected king of Errion.

He than married Stroms daughter Flaitdeas as well as his having alredy another of Stroms daughters.
He did this to further ally Strom to him.

However Neirt king of Ulltonmact reigned in Strom sharply and Strom pledged not to interfear between the princes of Mumain and Laigean.

Whe Eocaid Foiltleatn m Oilliol m Connla king of Laigean found this state of affairs after 5 yaers of the reign of Adamaer of Mumian he gathered a chosen few of men hand picked and secretly went over different routes to Iomlac where they hid in armed bands near the pavilion of Ardrig.

They than suddenly attacked.
Ardrig nevertheless fought bravely till none remained alive and they fell about the tents of the king.

Eocaid m Oilliol constructed Adamaers carn on this plain of Iomloc where the king had fallen.

They related how Aonbaal had held out over the Remion [Romans] at evry battle until he had shut them up in their own territory of Remion.

The Cromfears were hence elated at this report and said Baal had given these victorys to Aonball and the Gaal Sciat who worshiped him.

Melgat [Meilgne] Morbtac 223-211 BC

2008-08-03T14:06:00.002-07:00

Melgat Moltac [Meilgne Morbtac] 223-211 BC

Melgat was elected king at the Bruiteine by the Assembly of Laigean formerly Gaalen.
He was the son of Utgoine Mor and was king for 17 years.

As soon as this was accomplished Degan and Stad were sworn by Baal, Re and Tarsnasc and the spirit of the murdered Oilliol that Dub [Duff] and Morcean of Raboth heard Gialcad call them and they found Gialcad standing over the body of Leogaire and Morcean stabbing Oilliol many times till he died.

Morcean did not reply to the accusation but looked to Melgat in pity.
Melgat however gave him no pity or mercy.
Tolland the chief judge of Laigen read the law tract.

The sentance was read and Morcean was turned over to the executioners for his crime of murder.
Justice was done before the crowd.

Melgat recieved so much respect for this act of justice that Daire of Ullad nominated him for king of Errion.

Melgat ruled justly and obeyed and upheld the law.

In Melgats 3rd year 220 BC a delegation came from Gaalag Iberia headed by Buasce and GaistreBaal.
These brought letters from Aonbaal m Amalcer chieftan of the Feine who was chief of Gaal Sciot in west Europe.
These said that Aonbaal the chief lord had declared war on behalf of the Feine of Catharcedun [Carthage] in North Africa.
Aonbaal ws high king of the Gaalag Sciot and chief of the Feine.

This was declared against the Romion [Romans] and he wanted the help of the Gaal Sciot Iber Ogagais Naomimadeis.
This they did as the Romions caused trouble and disruption of the peace and property everywhere they went coveting mostly the riches and treasures of other lands.

This war was declared by Aonbaal Barrgais on behalf of the Feine who were in Carthage
and for all mankind because of the averise of the Romion tribes in Eisbanait {Spain}.

Ermion however said he could not decide to aid them but the Assembly only could make this decision.

The Assembly finally said it would make a pact of freiendship with the European king but it would be unable for them to march comlanns out of Errion to wage war and so it was decided.

However 4 comlanns were made of Volunteers through the zeal of the cromfears recruting.

Some of these men were partizans of Labrd Loingseac but all were dia tribes [Adventurers] from all the kingdoms even the Danaan of Ultonnmact.

These gathered at Port n Loc Garbmuin and sailed with Gaistrebaal.
The first wild geese and the first volunteers.

At this time it was believed that Melgat wanted to divide Mumain by stiring up factions of Duac against Gialcads faction.

The king therefore instructed the tax collectors to go more heavily on Tuat Mumain than on Deas Mumain.
This friction against the North of Mumain later called Thomond was the stronghold of the Duac Maon faction and the South was allied to Melgat m Gialcads forces in Laigen.

After 11 years of this and finally questors came in violence to north Mumians and the land of Maccob the king in violence took an army there to colect the kigns herd.
The Mumains rose and cut the questors to peices.

When the assembly conviened it 2nd session the working session the charge was made saying the Questors had come as an armed force and drove the herds away by violence.
Daire of Ullad asked why the Mumain people did not drive the herd of cattle to Ermion as Ullad did.
Melgat however claimed this was the law of Utgoine.

This caused a clammor in the Assembly and Daire said that this was the first time Errion had heard of a law of this mnn or that man and that it should also be the last.

The law is the law of Errion.

Maccorb went to Mumain to order his comlanns.

Melagat ordered up a great army and marched to Brugrig at the Meag River.

Siorna brother of Melgat directed this battle but could not find Melgat.

Finaly Lorc saw him and said behold the tax man and shouted the battle cry than charged and cut Melgat and his guard to pieces.
Lorc prince of Ib Lugiad killed him.

Maccorb marched straight to Magnas and commanded everthing pertaining to the General Assembly be transfered from Magnas to Tabarta.

He than himself went to Tabarta pitched his tents staying there and not in the kings palace.

duac Oilliol 237-230 Bc- Duac Labrad230-223 BC

2008-08-03T13:59:00.000-07:00

Duac m Oilliol

After the death of Gailcad at Dunnnarig some time passed befoe a new Ardrig was elected.
Duac the son of Oilliol brother of Utgoine was elected king of Gaalen.
Later at Magnas the princes of Mumain and Gaalen elected DuAc Ermion.

this is taken to mean Labrad DuAc Maon but it was probably Duac m Oilliol brother of Utgoine that was elected by these two kingdoms.

Meanwhile Duca Maon m Oililiol m Leogaire went to his fathers possessions to live and he retained the Feotar comlanns .
Therefore both these men called Duac are discribed as being Ermion with opposition over Errion.
In the first year of Duacs reign Ermion summoned allto an Assembly to hear to hear the inditement brought by Duac Maon Labrad against Morcean who was chief of Remion.

When the Assembly conviened a great multitude also gathered on the Bruiteine of Magnas.
This Bruitine was that of Gaalen and the king of Gaalen was Duac son of the brother of Utgione not Duac Maon Labrad.

However this Ermion sat as king of Errion and all attended Ullad , Ultonnmact and Mumain. The chief judge asked Morcean to stand and he did and the judge Tollard charged him to answer to Labraid for the blood of Oilliol his father and Leogaire his grandfather.

There was no feis or games .

Labrd remained in the tents of Daire of Ullad.

Many of the other princes came there to hear the music of Crafteines harp.

When the second assembly was called Morcean was no where to be found.
Labrad and Glas requested trackers be sent after him but none could find him in theland.

When they retuned empty handed Labrad listened to the law tracts .

He was unable to bring on thetestomony of Stad and Degain because the tracts forbid any inditment or testimony be given agains one not present.

Labrad objected to this but was silenced by Daire of Ullaid who divised that although Labraid sought justice and Daire loved him dearly for it the laws of Errion were more important and must be observed.

After this the words of Tanasteac were read and Ullads king said that the case of the death of Oilliol could be examined in the Bruiteine of Gaalad.
This satisfied Duca Maon Labraid.

After 7 years Duac Ardrig died and was buried at Magnas in a carn.

230 saw the election of Ardrig to Duac Maon Labrad son of Oilliol m Loegaire m Utgoine.
After the death of his uncle Duac the son of oilliol the brother of Utgoine in 230 AD

After this Duac Maon would not take the counsil of Ullads king Daire to send home his comlanns from Feotar.

These Cruiten soldiers did much evil in the land and their many transgressions against the Gaal went undisaplined and unpunished .

Cinc one of the Feotar made remarks to Melgats M Gialcad regarding some red birth marks on his face.
When Melgat complaind to Duca Maon he was asked by the Ardrig if he were on hand when his father and grandfather were murdered.

All the princes were unhappy at the presence of the Feotar comlanns around the king and at the General Assembly.

Melgat spoke of this here and about and a reevolt agains Duac Maon was formented.

On half of Mumain was with Melgat that was Conn prince of Ib Lugad along with the Deas chiettans south of Amanmor.

Where Mumain and Gaalen met so too these two armys at Ceas hills.

They fought and Duac Maon Labrad fell and all the Cruiten of Feotar around him were killed, 2 comlanns.

They were buried in the style of the Cruiten there were they fell.
Duac Maons carn was also constructed there.

His name on the rolls of kings is called Labrad He speaks for the original name of Duac called Maon by Alla his foster mother of Corait.

He was also called Loingsec because he came in ships back to Erin.

Morcean Chief of Remion than appeared to Melgat as he had fought agains Duac Maon in the battle.

Melgat however arrested him to answer the inditment over the killing of Oilliol.

Duac Maon had been king of Ein 7 years and king of Gaalen 7 years as between himself and his uncle Duac son of the brother o Utgione .

Their fathers were both caled Oilliol causing historical confusion as to which one was which.

The elder Duac was dutifuly elected king of Gaalen and after him his nefew Duac Maon Labraid.

Because the comlann of Feotar had broad spears which weer called Slaigs Gallen was afterwards called Laigean after the broad spears.
the S of Slaigs being interpreted as meaning seed of the laigs. Meaning some of their transgresions unpunished by Duac Maon were of a sexual nature and they like the vikings some centuries later left many offspring among the Gaal.

Gialcad m Utgoine 254-2237 BC
Cobtac Caol Breag

He was elected at Magnas king of Gaalen and finally Ermion.

When this occured the child Duac m Oilliol m Laogaire who was 2 years old was secreted away to a safe place as his little life was endangered by Gialcad.

He was taken to Coriat to the fortress of Fearmor m Morla who was the father of Aine who had married Cruiten.

This Aine was the mother of a daugher Aine born in Cruiten who married Leogaire when he went to Cruiten and their child was Oilliol m Leogaire who Gialcad and Dub [Duff] had kiiled from his sick bed.

Gialcad sent trackers to find this child but it was reported to him that the babe was deaf and mute as so called by Fearmors wife Alla 'Maon".

This Alla when the little 2 year old was brought to her care gave birth to a girl child she called Moriat.

Gialcad on hearing the child was defective decided to let him be but instead circulated rumors as to the wounds he suffered from his brother Leogaires attempt to kill him as he lay ill.

None of these alleged wounds were ever discovered nor any physician who had ever treated them.

Ullad kept out of this the king Fiacnac saying all of Iolars decendants and seed were alike but Roigne.

Mumaiin at this time was in league with Gialcad as the prince of Ib Lugad had married his daughter.

In Gialcads 12th year 242 BC Fiacnac of Ullad died and Daire his son was elected king of Ullad.

By 241 BC little Moan [Duac m Oilliol] was now a youth of 14 years and so noble in character and shape that Gialcad heard of him.

This news was very disturbing to him and suddenly Maon disappeared from Coriat.

The boy had been sent by Fearmor from Ardtan to Cruiten to the charge of Ner m Cruiten his kinsman as he heard Gialcad was about to kill Duac Maon.

He stopped on his way back to Mumain and Coriat to tell this to Daire king of Ullad and how some portion of earth sank in Coriat and a lake was creted called the waters of Gurna.

Diare give him 2 steeds and 2 dogs Sugac and Luc.

But relayed to his Ardollam Seign ,Fearmors lack of wisdom and superstitious nature.

Four years later Fearmor returned in 237 BC and told Diare m Fiacnac that Maon Duac still resided with Ner in Cruiten but desired to return to Errion.

He was now 18 years old and the chieftains of Feotan had promised him aid.

Fearmor asked for the alliance of Ullads king.

Daire however refused sayign Mumain had raised Gialcad now let Mumain pull him down.

However as Cruiten and Ullad were brothers he consented to allow their forces to pass through Ullad.

Fearmor went to the beach at Ardtan to await Maon and Fearons son Glas with their army of Feotan.

He stood on a cliff looking out to sea adn finally a ship came bearing good tidings.

At this juncture Moriat who was in love with Maon and pining away in Coriat for him convinced her mother Alla to allow her to go to Allas sister at Oir, Aongaise her aunt.

The chief of Airmion at this time was out on a hunt but his 2 sons were at home.

When Moriat told how she wanted to see Duac Maon she and her 21 cousins sons of Aongaise set out for Ullad with their attendants.

When they came to Ardmaca a feast was prepared but before they could eat noise was heard and warriors appeared dressed as soldiers of Errion and others with the dress and spears of Feotan.

She and Maon were soon in embrace and Fearmor with his son Glas.

Crafteine harpist of Fearmor and Corait sang of the evil deeds of Cotac [Gioalcad] agaisnt Leogaire and Oilliol and the flight of Duac to Coriat and then to Ner of Cruitan.

He sang of the love of Morait and Maon.

Glas related the rest of the tale how for 4 years they had waited for Errions call from Cruiten with the Mumain retainers and how with 2 comlanns of Gaal of Feotan they crossed the sea to Errion.

Maon dispatched curiers to the precipices to lite fires as a signal to watch that they had arrived.

Soon fires blazed across the land in the west and the south.

Gialcad knew from his sothermost part of Gaalen that the son of Oilliol had come.

He called for the comlanns of Gaalen and Mumain to muster immediately.

Mumaind did muster the comlanns but marched joyfully to Maon.

gialcad pg 2

The Gaalen comlanns had no joy for Gialcad and were cold to his plans

Duac met Gialcad on Chrismas night near Dunnarig.

He called for Gialcad to show his bloody face before him and he now could speak and hear quite clearly.

Gialcad would not come forth.

Maon saw a company of his men near and thinking Gilacad one of these he cut them down in a charge.
Maon had chosen well as Gialcad was in this company along with his body guard.

Maon was raised on the shields of his men and a mighty shout arose as they clashed their shileds.

They were happy to hear him speak.

Duca Maon ordered that no dirage nor any song be sung over Gialcad as he had murdered both his father and his grandfather.

Duac Maon was henceforth called Labrad [Labread, Labreann]
He speaks.

Gialcad was still breathing but the soldiers bound his hands and feet dug a pit threw him in and called him
Cobtac Caol Breug as he spoke so many lies and falshoods.

They put no marker on his grave and smoothed the soil that it should not be found or a memory of his remains on earth.

Gialcad had been king 17 years .

They then went to Aodmagnmaca and Diare gave Crafteine Fearmors harpist a golden harp which Crafteine named Daire.

The king of Ullad gave both Labread and Glas steeds of their choise and coat of mail.

Diares wife Eoca gave both a cloak, a bell , a pin and a dagger of red gold.
They than went to Coriat in Mumain where Duac Maon Labrad Loingseac married the beautiful daughter of Fearmor amd Alla.

Laogaire 270-254 BC

2008-08-01T16:23:00.002-07:00

Laogaire M Utgoine 270-254

When the Assembly was conveined at Magnas to elect a king there was feeling that Gilcad had been present when Bacac killed his brother Utgoine.
He had no desire to avenge his fathers murder.
Hence Laogaire was elected both king of Gaalen and again Ermion of Errion without the kings of Ullad or Ultonnmact present.
He was hence a king with opposition.

Gialcad however remained jelous and still held the position of Questor chief and made peace with his brother.

Roigne however feard for Laogaire and advised an alliance with Ullad because Noid of Munster had mrried Aine daughter of Gialcad.

Laogaires wife ws a daughter of a Cruitne chief.

Roigne wanted Ullad and Gaalen to always rule Errion as Ermion.

Roigne proposed this alliance of Gaalen and Ullad against Mumian but Concobar remembered the protection of the orphan of Cier Er and the creation of Ullad and that the Munster king Marcac had made the princes give Er his division.

When Ardcromfear Blath Amergein had tried to keep this division for themselves.

Concobar refused to go against Mumain but because he loved Roigne told him to return to Ullad and dwell with him there.

Laogaire allowed Gialcad to do as he wished and Gialcad became haughty and in both Gaalen and Mumain used his power as Questor [tax collector] to enrich himself taking it as the spoils of war until revolt arose against him.

When Roigne went to his brother to remonstrate with him Gailcad wanted to kill his brother but could not do so as Roigne was more skilled in arms than he.

Roignes mother was Leirida [Lerida] Queen of Utgoine and was rummored tobe having an affair with Ros..

Because of the unrest in Mumain and Gaalen many people began to emegrate from Erin.

The kings and rulers of the east were anxious to have these Gaal Soldiers and the Gael Sciot Iber and were brought east by the Feine.

All these were penalized by Errion as the law forbad their serving in foreign military service.
They were outcasts from their tribe forever and hence, after they had fullfilled their military service they did not return to Erin but went to Gaalatia and founded a colony there in central Turkey.

As the pigs of Erin were fed mostly on Acorns from the dence oak forest the meat had a delicate flavor and the Feine came each year to buy pigs, cattle , wheat and wool.

When they did so they wer encouraged by the Baal priests to incite youth to sail with them for the east where they recieved an ounce of silver for every soldier.

It was said the cromfears got a kickback from this payment of 1/2 oz.

In this time every disgruntled chieftain unhappy with his lot set out for the east with his comlanns and his tribe and these laid tribute and tax in every country they passed threw as they marched.

10 comlanns were in the service of Alexander the Greats army when his kingdom was divided after Alexanders death.

When the paymaster Liosimachus refused to pay them they rose against him and his troop slaughtering all and killing this paymaster than seizing spoils of gold and Jewels they marched on to Gaalicia.

At this time Phrrus was king of Mollosia and organised his fathers kingdom of Epirus taking into his army 2 comlanns of the Gaal Sciot who wer known as The 'Phyrric Phalanx'

At Ard Magn Maca Concobar built many new dormitories and row houses to house the many students coming to Mur n ollam from Errion and Cruiten.

In 261 BC Noid king of Mumain died and his son Lugad was elected king.
This young prince was a follower and aherent of Gilacad m Utgoine.

Concobar m Ciombaot shortly therefore also died after 30 years as king of Ullad.
He was buried in a tumulus east of Emainia.
Fiacnac m Cas m Ciombaot was elected new king.

Gailcad meanwhile spent his time trying to spead ugly rumors about his brother the king saying he had killed Utgoine not Becac.

That they should not trust the wife Aine of the Feotan son Oilliol and that words between him and the king of Ullad conserning these matters were untrue.

This caused much confusionand appointment of a new Ardollam replacing Tiole with Seacain.

In Laogaires 16the year 254 BC a messanger was sent to him from Gialcad stating his illness and calling for his brother Laogaire to come.

When leogaire did so with his bodyguard and his son after visiting the invalid and on his way out of the chamber Gialcad asked in a faint wisper for Leogaire and his son Oilliol to remain alone with him that he might speak privatly to him.

Leogaire than dismissed his bodyguard.

Later next day they again went to Gialcads bed unatended but for Dub [Duff] of Remain, Giallcads people.

Loegaire sat on the edge of his brothers bed and Oiliol by his side.

At this time Duff and his son came in and Gialcad rose up and drove his dagger into the chest of Laogaire .

Dub and
his son kiled Laogaires son Oilliol.

This was the assasination by his brother of Ermion Laogaire m Utgoine and his heir Oilliol.

Duff raised a great cry stating Loegaire and Oilliol had attempted to kill Gialcad as he lay on his sick bed but Dub and his son Morcean had overcome them.

Gialcad was than elected king of Gaalen and also Ermion of Errion in 254 BC.

Utgoine Mor 300-270 BC

2008-07-31T17:48:00.001-07:00

Utgoine 300-270 BC

Utgoine m Eocaid Badoin m Duac m Fiaca Tolgrac m Muredac Bolgnac m Muredac Simon Brec m
Saedam Glas m Nuada FionnFail m Gialcada m Oilliol m Siorna of the house of Iolar. was elected hi king of Erin.

After Reactad had been killed and his son Aongias was unable to muster a force against Utgoine or elect old Eocaid m Fearmor of Ullad king of Errion, Utgoine of Gaalen was elected king of Errion.

He went to sit Lia Fail. The Ardcromfear placed the eisaon on his head and Morda chief of Laois placed the robe on his shoulders.

The feis was held and the games.
But Aongais and his entourage were absent and after 4 days on Tabarta in their tents they went home.

Ullad and Ultonnmact remained there for the reading of the writings at Mur n ollam.

When the second session of the Assembly convined Utgoine noted these behaviors and after 3 days Ullad and Ulltonnmact also went home leaving none at Tabarta but the Gaalen.

These found they could use this solitude to reform the title of Ardrig made by Eocaid Pllam Fodla back to that of Ermion as Iolar their ancestor had been styled Ermion in the beginning.

They took the departure of Mumain and Ullad as not having esteem for Errion itself unless they a son of Iber or Ollam Fodla were its chief rulers.

The princes of Gaalen said
Yea let it be so and Utgoine was afterwards styled Ermion not Ardrig.

At this time while Eocaid of Ullad was traveling back to ArdMaca a rider came and brought him news that strangers had arrived at Feo-Baal [Foyle] and had landed there.

The king commanded the Ullad comlanns be gathered at Raboth.
This army than marched to Feobaal were the anchored fleet was.

These people were large of bone, barbaric and had course features, swords and broad spears called ullann but had no mail or helmets as did the common Gaal.

The kings forces were unable to communicate with these strangers but were able with a few words that they had come from the east.
That Cruithon was their chief and they were called men of Feothar [Fir Feotar] and that they were hungry.

Eocaid gave them food and drink.

Cruitin had 20 chiefs with each controlling 500 men all told they equaled 10 comlanns of warriors.

The king called the Danaans to see if they could understand these strangers speech but they could not.

After 18 days of feasting Eociad gave them a place to settle but they signed they felt this land had enough people and after 9 days more they depareted in their fleet eastward.

When Utgoine heard of this he inquired why Ullad had taken the responsibility from him Ermion.

Eocaid however told the new king of Errion they were stangers half dead of hunger and had been fed by Ullad and had departed in peace and were no trouble to Errion.

He said Ullad could extend its hospitality and guard its own lands without Ermions advice.

When the next Assembly was held these men of Feotar again appeared with 9 nobles and their Chief Cruitin had returned to Ullad at Ardtan.

They came to speak to the king of Ullad.

Eocaid told Aod of Artan to bring them to him at Emainmaca.

When Eocaid was ready to go to Tabarta they went with him these 10 from Feotar and dwelt in his tents and pavilion at Tabarta.

After the first session was held and the feis and games Eociad addressed the 2nd session explaining their presence in his tents and their request as a conformation of their treaty of friendship with Errion maidens in marriage.

He asked that these chiefs be allowed entry to Teachmor to observe the Irish proceedure and conversation.
And it was so.

The Assembly concluded the marriage coulld be conducted if the maidens were willing.
The great portals were closed and a second round of feis and games held for 9 days.

Messangers were sent to all the Tanasteac[townlands] regarding the maidens who came from every quarter of Errion to Tabarta.

Eociad of Ullad, Utgoine of Gaalen and Aongais of Mumain made a separte peace between themselvs and another feis was held for that with bards poets and Gaalens curad binn taoir[corrybantes] celebrating at Tabarta.

This event went on for 90 days ,a quarter while the Feotar recieved instruction in the Gaelic tongue so they could complete the marriage covenant.

The king Utgoine requested that if the maidens went to Cruiten and Gaalduniath the sons born to this union will have the inheritance of the title of king in the futures.
Feotar agreed to this.

When the assembly closed Feotars chiefs put sods of earth they had brought from Cruitan in a circle on top o Tabarta and standing on these pierced the earth with their spears in their left hand and their right hand raised swore they would honor the covenant to extend the king title to the sons of these marriages with Errion.

[It is not specific if this covenant refers to Errion, Cruitan or both.]
Thus began the practice among the Cruiten, Picts of Cuitin, the line of women among the Gaals of Feotar.

This convenat was written in the Cronicles of Errion in Utgoines 4th year as king 296 BC.

The weddings took palce on Tabarta.

Cruitein took Aine of Corait

the 9 chiefs took
Fara of Oirmion
Eitead of Deas
Miana of Ardtan
Tacara of Aodmag
Una of Maigninnse
Sotal of Laterana [larne]
Etne of Cumar
Bana of Maiglein
Mimna of Almuin.

10 maidens in all and all princess of Errion.

These were the mothers of Feotar Gaal Sciot in Caledonia Gaalduniat.

After the wedding at
Tararbaa all went to Ardtan with a great multitude of Irish.

Ardtan said if these maidens were cheriished in future Errion would be open to them for future alliances.

They than sailed from Errion.

Errion remained in peace and contentment.

Eocaid happily and learned at Aod Magn Maca.
He constucted a new Mur n ollam at Emainia giving it a division of land for its substancance with the pleasure of the princes of Ullad.

When Meileige died Dod was electe d Ardollam and Because Eocid m Fearmor was so weak from old age and near death Dod carried out the Progress of Ullad for the king.

In Eocaids 29th year as king of Ullad he died.

He was entombed in his carn at Cluaneac near Airgeadmor and well lamented.

Cas the son of Ciombaot and Maca 2 surnamed Ceas Ceanmuinmagn [fromthe people of magn] was elected king of Ullad.

Utgoine pg 2

After Eociad died Utgoine wanted the seat of government held at Magnas not Tabarta.

His daughter Melisa married Aongaid king of Mumain and beacuse of this alliance Mumain was allied to Gaalen and Utgoine.

Cas because he was a young man much given to the chase and sport was thrown from his charger and died.

Concober his brother was than elected king of Ullad.
Also a young man.

In Utgoines 13th year 387 BC he conveined the Bruiteine of Gaalen.

Ermoin spoke of Errion but Ullad was not listening.

Concober rose and said he did not see the thronen eisaon or robe nor the books of law or Cronicles were not present there and forgotten.

Concobar said he would not listen to any word regarding Erin until the ancestrial practices were on the table in his prensence.
He said he would returin to Ullad and there remain until Tanasteac was complied with.
He therin left with all Ullad and Ultonnmact all going to Aodmagnmaca.

Utgoine after they left declared the line of the 1st Ermoin meaning Iolar of Gaalen be Ermoin always.
This was carried by his own clann Gaalen.

Concobar when he heard this angrily said it mattered not who sat on the throne of Errion as long as a peace and contentment remained.

Utgoine continued to make alliances through marriages and other means with Mumian and to conveine the Assembly at Magnas.

Ermoin contested for an imperial tax to be paid him from all kingdoms in Errion.
Concobar however contended this but Gaalen and Mumain raised a cabaal and Concobar was silenced.

The request ofthe king was carried giving Ermoin Utgoine 300 head of cattle every 3rd year at the usual Assembly or silver currency.
The practice was incoroporated in the Tanasteac and was kept henceforth.

After 19 years 381 BC Utgoine sent his son Laogaire to Cruiten Gaalduniat where Laogaire married Aine daughter of Aine of Curiad and Cruitin.

When the Assembly was again held at Magnas Utgoine challenged Ullad forbidding Ermoins herdsmen to collect his imperial tax.

Concobar however contended that the tax had been placed to defer the cost of the feis and games.
He said to set a time and date to drive these cattle to Ermoin as it was a dangerous precident to allow Gaalens tax men into Ullad as after time they might not come with a herdsmans staff but as an army to despoil Ullad.

Utgoine than appointed 12 Questors to recieve the cattle tax or silver payment and placed Gialcad his son as thier chief.

Aongais king of Mumian died and Niod his brother was elected king of Mumain.
After Concobar m Ciombaot had been king of Ullad 13 years the chiefs of Ardtan, Maginse and Larne sailed over tothe Cruitni land and made court there visiting the kindred and all were pleased with this.

Roigne one of Utgoines sons went with them and when they returned he went to Aodmagnmaca and dwelt there with Concobar m Ciombaot.
Roighne was wise and Concobar loved him and considered him as the best one of his race of Iolar except Eterrial the son of Irad Faid of 988 BC.

Roigne loved music and was a masterful poet.
He copied the law tracts of Errion and of each kingdom for himself as well as the Tanasteac practice.
He learned the manners and customs of the Danaans and the Firgneath.

After Utgoine had been king of Errion 25 years 265 BC when he conveined the Assembly at Magnas he announced the Gaal Sciot had multiplied in great number like the sands of the sea shore and that that they were so close and so many that they could hear each others voices.

As concobar had some time before fortold, Gialcad entered Mumain after over running Gaalen taking cattle and his warriors bore awy spoils as a tribute of war.

Utgoine guestioned his son about this behavior but Gialcad lied and told falsehoods.

Shortly however Utgoine knew his son and his brother Bacac [lame] had made unlawful seisures of herds from the Gaal pastures. [cattle rustling]
He was angry at this and summoned Gailcad and Bacac to his presence.

He blamed his lame brother Bacac over Gailcad and chastised him as good that nature had debared him from being king.

This angered Bacac who dreww his dagger and drove it into his brother up to the hilt than gave the weopon a twist.
He left his dagger there and fled.

shortly Leogaire the kings other son came and found his father wounded but still living.

Ermion related the evil he had confronted them with and the fratracide of Bacac.
He than died.

Gialcad came to the kings tents but Leogaire pursued Bacac and killed him before his fathers body was cold.

While he revenged his father Gialcad the oldest son took all the gems and valuable from his fathers pavilion.
He than summoned Gaalen to the Briuitine of Magnas to chose a new king.

Utgoine* had ruled as Ermion for 30 years till 270 BC.

* It is said Utgoine was buried at Cruchan which is in Connact and he was not of the Danaan race but of the Laigen in south eastern Erin.
It is also said he married a frankish kings daughter called Ceasair and that he fathered 22 sons and 3 daughters and it was said that he divided the entire island between these 25 children giving them each a share. His name in English is Ugaine Mor which he is called in most sourses however inthe Gaelic it is spelled Utgoine. Ut means a utereus or udder, go means basicly high or until ,i = her and ne is a progeny
making this title or name meaning either utereus untill her child or udder high her child.
Irish is a primative language based on suffix and prefixis having specific meanings and put together in one word style similer to German.
none of these inforamtions have a sourse listed to them.
The text sited in this writing gives Leirida as his Queen and mother of his son Roigne.
Prior to the coming of Chritainity in 432 Ad most Irish nobles and rulers kept more than one wife or concubine and also hdd cumals servants of the household as partners and most of them bore children.
In todays world this practice seems unkind but because of fertility it was probably more benficial to women not to be sujected to sex when they might bear more children than they could either handle or live through.
These unnamed women also held much more economic and social power than their daughters after the coming of St Patrick and the strictures put on sexual behavoirs by the Church.

Maca 2 310-309 BC- Reactad Mumain 309-300 BC

2008-07-30T14:20:00.000-07:00

Maca ingen Aod m Badorn m AirgeadMor of Ullad 310-309 BC

After Ciombaot died his Queen Maca 2 asked Eocaid m Fearmor who had been elcted king of Ullad if he would also stand for king of Errion.

He said he would not as he was melancoly and worn with care.

She than went to Teacmor to stay in the palace for a quarter [90 days].
She than sent curriers to conveience the Assembly.

In the 4th week [division] of that month she appeared before the Assembly and announced the old practice of Tanasteac said
Errion should not be a quarter without an Ardrig.

AS Ciombaot had been dead a quarter and 5 moons and no king had been elected that she, even though she was a woman, was also a daughter of Aod a son of ER and the daughter of Maca I Niniagn and also Queen of Ciombaot m Fionn and she said she would occupy the throne because of indifference of men.

Ib Lugad Aongais nominated her saying
What if Maca sit upon the throne.

Eocaid of Ullad left the assembly which held an ominous silence.

Aongais however placed the crown on her brow and Lorc of Mumain placed the royal robe on her shoulders.

The feis was held and the games which were attended by evey Tanasteac and the Gaal Sciot[ray litter seed common] and some Feine creating thousands on the field of Tabarta.

Maca hence prolonged the games to 27 days when a second assembly was held the customary writting were read and the roll of the kings to Ciombaot.

Maca than said it was the custom to inscibe the name of the new king directly when he was elected.

As her name had not been inscribed she asked why not and when no one replied she decended from the throne and wrote her name on the roll after Ciombaot.

The nobles and princes of Mumain clapped for her and assured her her name woudl remain there.

Maca after the Assembly had disbanded held a banquet at Teacmor for Mumains princes and nobles.
She had also invited Ullad and Ultonnmact but Utgoine of Gaalen nor any of their princes or nobles recieved an invatiation and Gaalen departed moodily.

The celebration lasted 9 days with sweet harp music from Mumain and ancient stories sung by the Bards.

She frequented the Teacmor mur n ollam frequently and dwelt on Tabarta with her family.

No harm or sorrow came to Erin while she was Queen of Errion even though the Tanasteac forbad a woman to occupy the throne for she was attentive and open to assist the needy.

After 1 year one moon [month and a day]
she died and she was buried a AodMagnMaca near Ciombaot where her carn waas constructed.

Reactad m Aongais 309-300 BC

Reactad M Aongaid m Daire m Oilliol m Eocaid Uirceas m Eunda m Duac m Elim m Roiteasac of Iber house was elected next Ardrig of Errion.

Murcad chief of Almuin nominated Utgoine king of Gaalen but Bearda chief of Ardtan nominated Reactad of Mumain.

The General Assembly voted for Reactad except for Gaalen who voted for Utgoine.

This was out of gratitude to Mumain for the consideration of Maca 2.

Utgoine however sought to humble Reactad but fear of the comlanns of Ullad restrained him and peace continued in Errion.

Utgoine questioned Reactad regarding the tax on Ulltonnmact but Reactad replied as Ardrig he held power to collect a rent or a tax as he pleased without consulting the king of Gaalen and if Utgoine had complaint he shoudl state it when it was asked
Stands anyone on Tabarta seeking justice.
Thus was Utgoine silenced and discomforted.

Utgoine persisted however and 6 years later again challenged the king over withholding collecting of tax and tribute from Danaan.
He tried to enlist Eocaid of Ullad who rebuked him and upheld the alliance between Ullad and Ultonnmact.

But Utgoine put his comlanns to training over valley and hill under command of the Falaan cincomlanns[ Commanders].

After 9 years the year 300 BC as Reactad proceeded out of Mumain where he was protected to Teacmor where he had no army
Utgoine arrayed his comlanns and marched to Teacmor.

The Ardrig there diporting and dancing summoned his warriors in a small force to confront Utgoine of Gaalen.

He called for Utgoine to appear but Utgoine did not come forth which is shameful and did not often happen.

His army however surrrounded the small Mumain force on Tabarta and dislodged the column.

Reactad fell with his retinue by the sword.

When this was accomlished by the commlans Utgoine showed himself at the head of his army and entered Teacmor.

In Mumain with this death of Reactad his son Aongais was elected king of that province.

Ciombaot did not dwell on Teacmor except when the Assembly was in sesion.
He left Blath II of Ir there in his place.

Maca 2 his wife daughter of Aod m Badorn asked for a castle and fortress for herself as fine as Dunsoberce or Teacmor.

Ciombaot said by Baal she should have any thing she desired.

This was constructed in a circuit round Ard Sceulact with the foundation ditch being dug down to the living rock.

Engineers and master craftsmen from all Errion began this work.

Contracts were given by Ciombaot for every detail of this construction and with Erbaal chief merchand of th Feine.

In 316 Mumains king Aongais died and Reactag m Ardfear of Eunda was elected king of Mumain.

The palace at Ard Maca within the walls of Ardsceulact took 7 years to construct. From 323-316.

Maca and Ciombaot than moved in and a great feis was held.

Maca herself named the place
Aodmagnmaca [Emainmaca].\

All clapped and shouted
Aod Magn Maca and so she acknowleged her father mother and grandfather.

After 11 years in 312 the king of Gaalen died after 28 years rule and Utgoine his son was eleced king of Gaalen.

He had become king of Gallen in 340 BC and was called Eocaid Badoirn m Duac Ladrach m Fiaca TolgraC.

Beacause the fortification had been bullt at EmainMaca jelousy arose in both Gaalena and Mumain.

This fortress competed with Teacmor Tabarta and when the usual Assembly was held in 312 BC Reactad and Utgoine circulated this saying it was a pity Teacmor stood no longer and was not seen at
EmainMacas heights.

They contested the pride of Er.

Coimbaot however did not take these world seriously and they were not discussed in the second session.

When the Assembly was closed Ardrig set out for Aod Magn Maca with all the men of Ullad.

He instructed the writing then kept at Dunsoberce library be transfered to Emmain Maca and the shileds of the chieftans and tribunes also be brought there to be hung at Armagh as they had been hung at Teacmor.
It was so.

On the day a monolith memorial was raised on Magmortiomna between the Gaal and the Danaan he announced he would sit as king at Emainia not Teacmor.

This announcement was made in June on the second day of the second week of that month Sgith around June 8-9th.

He ordered the Gaal to go with him to Dunsoberce in May of the holy fire[Mai] to carry forth all the writings to Emain Maca in solemnity.

On the prescribed day all the princes of Er and every chieftan and ollam and tribune and commlann veterans stood armed on the plain of Dunsoberce while 3 chariots at the door of the palace awaited the law tracts of Ullad, the words and practices of Tanasteac were loaded under Foran the chief judge into the first chariot.

The second chariot recieved the writting of Eolus and the Cronnicles of Gaalag under Sead the Ardollam of Dunsoberce.

In the 3rd chariot the Cronciles of Errion were placed under the stewardship of Meileige Ard Ollam of Ullad and the writings of Eocaid Ollam Fodla.

This troop than proceeded with Ardrig Coimbaot and the princes and nobles on horseback and Maca 2 in a 6 horse chariot of gold with magnificant workmanship and she arrayed in a cloak of Errion and the hat of Ultonnmact on her head.

[Maca 2 lived some 250 years before Cleopatra of Egypt].

Baal [the sun] came out and they all drew their swords and raised them to the sky and the Gaal bowed their heads and struck their shileds.
The poets recited and the bards and maidens sang to the harp string while the corybantes dances.
They colled out 'May Ball profit the work of the king.'

They all than marched forward in order to EmainMaca ,1/3 of the princes and nobles at the head of the procession with the 1st chariot of Foran.
Than the 2nd chariot with the Ullad judges than the second 1/3 of the princes and nobles with the 3rd chariot and Sead.

This foillowed by the ollavs of Ullad .
Than came Meileige and the last 1/3 of the princes and nobles which marched on either side of Ciombaot and Maca.

This was followed by the army of 20 comlanns, veterans of the Gaal, archers and slingers and 30,00 or so calvary.

After 9 days they arrived at Armagh.

After a feis was held for all not only the princes and nobles but the multitude.

The dice [crancuir] were cast to rehang the shields of the chiefs.

At the second week of June Sgith all took their seats in the proper place.
The king welcomed all to the hall of Aod Magn Maca and cited 696 years had elapsed since the covenant of peace beteween the Gaal Sciot and Danaan and the monolith monument erected at Magnortiomna and written in tohe Seancus na Gaal [Cronnicles of Errion].

He renewed the covenant and asked the great record books be placed on the tables at the center of the hall.
And it was so.

He also asked that the Assemby of Ullad be henceforth conviened at this new place and the right hand was raised and it was so.

When the writing had been reread at Eamainia the herald asked
Stands anyone on Aormagnmaca demanding justice?
No voice replied.

The games were held 9 days in all and all disperced to their own dwellings.

In this same year 311 BC Coimbaot fell ill and in September [Cruinnugad] he died.

He had been kign 13 years.

His carn was placed near that of Aod his fellow grandson of AirgeadMor.

He was well lamented by the children of Ullad and Ultonnmact as Coimbaot had been a wise and just king who kept all in law and its proper place.

Eocaid m Fearmor m Airgead was elected King of Ullad.

Aod m Badorn 336-324 BC

Aod Badorn m Airgeadmor m Fiaca m Ruaidraige m Cairbre m Eocaid m Blath m Caibre m Eocaid Ollam fodla of Ullad was king for 12 years.

The writings were read, the feis held and the games.There was joy and munificence at the celebration.

At the second session Aod thanked them for peace and contentment over Errion.
Enract the Ardollam read the Cronicles and the law tracts on the 3rd day.

No voice answered the call demanding justice and the Assembly ajourned.

Aod summoned the Bruiteine of Ullad and appointed CiomBaot m Fionn m Airgead Mor viceroy of Ullad.

Ciombaot customerily dwelt at Ard Sceulact.

When Aod came to Ullad he spent a few days at Dunsoberce than made a Progreess through the land.

He also went to Ultonnmact with his Queen Maca that she could visit her family.

In 333 Enrad Ard ollam died and Maol was chosen Ardollam.

Peace and contentment reigned in Errion for Aod was just and followed the model of Eocaid Ollam Fodla.
The Assembnly was conviened regularly and its practices observed according to the law.

In Aods 12th year 324 BC he went with Ciombaot to Ultonnmact with Maca.
When he arrived at Raboth and the waters of Aaron in the land of the Firgneath to sail over this he streached out his hand to Maca to assist her.
His foot slipped and he fells stricking his head.
Blood spirted forth and he was unconcious.

the Firgneath and his retinue carried him to Ciombaots dwelling there but next day he died.

His carn there in Ulltonmact near Ciombaoths dwelling.

Ros m Dimuin 324-323 BC

When the princes, ollams, tribunes and chieftains met at Bruiteine Ullad to elect a new king to replace Aod they were unable to find one of the royal line a direct decendant of the former ruler.

Hence Ros m Diman son of AirgeadMor was nominated to be king of Ullad as no children of Airgead were still living but one infant girl.

Although Ros was a bit of a loner he was learned and worthy.

Ciombaot another grandson of Airgeadmor by his son Fionntan nominated Ros to be king and all showed the right hand unanimously.

Ros was not there at the Bruinteine and the nobles went to hold a great feis at Dunsoberce while trackers were sent out to find this reclusive prince.

He was found walking alone on the banks of the Foist in Antrim.
wWen told he had been elected king of Ullad he returned with them to Dunsoberce and the bruiteine where blushing and trembling he stood to accept the eisaon and the robe of royalty.

His foot went out from unde him but he took the hand of Ciombaot asking him to stand close to himn and he would do better.

Ros was not comfortable among the princes and nobles and next morning after the feis he told Ciombaot to stay at Dunsoberce and trouble not about Himself and he went away.

Ciombaot convinced Ros to go to Tabarta with the retinue of Ullad and he was there nominated by the Chieftan of Larne[Larna {the center}] to be king of Errion.
All agreed.

Ros did not go to Lia Fail.
Magn of Ultonnnmact put the crown on his brow adn Larne put the robe on his shoulders.
The writings were read the feis held and th4e games on the Field of Tabarta as customary.

Ros bore himself as a king should.

Ardrig when the Teacmor portals were closed went to the mur n ollam of Teacmor and had conference with the ollams and students.

Ardrig told Congaal of Er to reamin in Teacmor as his regent.
He gave explicit advise as to this job.

He than returned with Ullads princes to the Eiber river.

He sent Ciombaot to Dunsoberce to rule there on his behalf and then went himself away alone on foot eastward to the sea.

In the next year a message was sent to Ciombaot saying Ros was ill at Maginse where he was attended by the common people the Gaal in a small cabin.

Ros would not go to Dunsoberce when Ciomabaot came to him saying he was to weak and on the verge of death.

He advised Ciombaot on the philosophy in his head and that he should place no confidence in a chief greedy for honor nor a Gaal greedy for food or familiars of no account.

He advised Ciombaot to place trust in 100 women over 1 man as man is treacherous and full of falsehood.
To be kind to women and that kindness would be returned 100 fold.

The ardrig Ros refused to be seen by the royal physician.

When a new moon arose after 2 days Ros told Ciombaot he would die.

He instructed Ciombaot to give his cattle and herds to the children of the land who had been kind to him even when they knew he was poor.

He asked that his carn be built on this stream at Maginse and only built as high as he stood with his helmet on his head.

With the predicted change of the moon he than died.

His carn was constructed as he wished and the matrons and maidens wept for him.

He was caled Ros na Diatreabac[devil god moon hindrance] because of his shunning conversation and dwelling of men.

Duac m Faca ,Lugad m Daire 350-336BC

2008-07-28T17:06:00.000-07:00

Duac M Fiaca Tolgrac 350-341 BC

Duac m Fiaca Folgrac m Muredac Blograc m Muredach Simon Breac of Gallen was elcted king of Errion.

Lugad of Mumain was than jelous at this and disclosed a treaty or agreement between them that if Lugad helped Duac they would divide Ireland between them.

This discord remained between them for the rest of their lives.

However the nation remained peaceful.

Badrom m AirgeadMor king of Ullad commented the ignorace of Gaalen and Mumain princes and nobes in that the Mur n Ollam built by ollam Fodla at Teacmor was always empty of studemts unless a king of Ir sat the throne of Errion.

That these provinces raised not wisdom or truth but the people of Gaal also were deteriorate.

These people and thier princes had unbridled desires and the Gaalen followed the cromfears while Mumain followed war as a sport,singing among the wounded and dying and dancing as they carried of spoils.

In Duacs 10th year 340 BC Lugad of Mumain made war on him.
Marching on Gaalen and driving its army before him to Magnas where Duac made his stand.
The battle was desperate and even the cromfears joined in.

Lugad however silenced them as well as announced himself on the way to Teacmor Tabarta.

4000 of gaalen fell in this battle including Duac killed by the Gaal as he would not come forth to fight Lugad personally.

His carn is at Magnas on the west where they buried him.

Lugad m Daire of Mumain 340-336 BC

Lugad and his army marched to Teacmor and dispatched riders to conveine the Assembly to select him as king of Errion.

In Gaalen the distruction of princes and nobles was so great and chieftaincys without chiefs that no King could be chosen.

Badorn of Ullad addressed Lugad saying he knew it was unlawful to elect Ardrig while the Gaalen kings chair was empty and her princes and nobles not present.

Lugad however said if he had exterminated all the princes of Gaalen should Errion remain henceforth without a king.

He declared himself king and the ruler.

Badorn, Ullad, and Magn of Ultonnmact departed till Gaalen chose a king.

Lugad thus usurped without election the chair of High King of Errion in 340 BC.

After a year at the regular appointed time for Assembly 341 BC he did not dispach curriers to summon the lords.

Badorn of Ullad therfore told Magn not to pay Ardcois [tax]
a message sent by his son Aod to Cruacan.

While there Aod saw Maca Magns beautiful daughter .
He fell in love with her.

When he returned to his father Badorn he spoke of this love and Badorn gave him permission to return to Cruacan to court this girl.

Magn was pleased at this and the virgin Danaan Macha a princess of Ultonnmact was taken by Aod.
He returned to Dunsoberce with her.

At that time Ros a prince of Er died without a child and Aod asked for Ardsceulact to dwell in.
His father and brothers approved and Aop pitched his tents on Ard Sceulact. [Now Armagh]

When Badorn died after 2 years 338 BC Aod was made king of Ullad.

In this year also Eocaid Duacs brother was elected king of Gaalen.
He married Darina Lugads daughter.

At this time Magn went to Ardsceulact to visit Aod.

Lugad conviened the Assemby to hear the purpose of this visit.
He was fearful of this alliance and when Aod replied he did not like his prideful answer and swore by the sword of Daire his father to break the pride of Ullad.

He sent heralds to disparge Aod and spread falsehoods against him.

Aod notified the comlanns of Ullad .

Magn had recieved no word to join him and was melancoly as he was the father of Aods Queen Macha.

Aod however consoled him saying Ullad could handle Mumain.

Lugad massed a great army and marched to Dundalgen.

Aods army followed the formation of Sedna.
The calvary slingers and archers separate not mingling the companies on either side of the comlanns.

when the armys met in Ullad Aods charge swamped the Mumain forces.
Lugad however when he saw Aod charged him bravcely and Aod killed him.
Still, Ullad was now roused and they speared the Mumain comlanns till they broke and ran.
5000 were killed.

They did not carry away Lugads dead body.

Aod pursued them.
After the battle of Dundalgan the shields of the heralds were lifted above the head of Aod.

Aod wrote to Magn saying Lugad m Dair wad dead and his army fled from Ullad.

The men of Ullad buried and built a carn for Lugad where he had fallen than Aod and the army marched to Dunsoberce where they feasted for 9 days.

Aongais brother of Lugad was elected king of Mumain in 336 BC.

AirgeadMor 380-350 BC

2008-07-27T15:29:00.000-07:00

AirgeadMor 380-350 BC

Airgead Mor [Great Silver] m Fiaca m Ruaidruide m Blath m Caibre king of Ullad elected Ardrig and rigned 30 years.

In 380 BC the second week of Iuly Iarsgith the usual Assembly was held.

Daire m Oilliood king of Mumain nominated AirgeadMor of Ullad and he was unanimously elcted ardrig.

Diare placed the eisaon and Gaalen king placed the robe on his shoulders.

He did not sit on Lia Fail.
The writting of Eolus were publicly read and the Cronciles of Gaalag of old.
The feis was held and the games.

When the second session reopened Aongais[ Aeneas] chief of Earb rose and questioned that Rang king of Ultonnmact had gone with a fleet of ships to the Tyrrenian sea to join pirates
in the eaters seas to seize spoils on the high seas.

He said the law of Erin forbid the princes to go forth to seek fame in battle.

He said the 'houseless boors' should not be allowed to sit at Teacmor while their king Rand was sailing the great sea as a pirate.

He proposed the Danaaan be expelled from the high chamber forever.

Forb one of tee 8 Danaans rose in anger to do violence to Aeneas but all Gaalen rose to defend him against Forb.

The king told them to be seated as it was not the custom to answer anger of the weak with violance in Teacmor.

Orc chief of Corran spoke saying if the Feine had put a word in the ear of the cromfears none could stand against this. Olamm Fodla and Tigernmas had fallen by the cromfears.

Hence it wasl possible Rand knew nothting of the death of Eocaid m Ardfear as he was at sea and that the men of Errion had no oricle god such as Mercury[sea currier] or Ana.
He declared if Rand had known the Asssmbly would be in session he would be there and the help and friendship of the Danaan should not be set aside now.

Ardrig upheld the law tract saying as Rang was not present an inditment of him or accusation woud not be heard while he was not present.

In 379 BC Airgead Mor second year Gaalens king Muiredaig Bolgrac m Muredac Siomon Breac died and his son Fiaca Tolgrac was elected at Magnas.
After 5 years of reign 375 BC an Assembly was conveined by Ardrig at the time Baal entered his first division of Iarsgith [first week of July] when the fires were blazing on all the raths of Errion.

He lauded the peace and contentment of all Erin.

The feis was held and the games were held at Teacmor Tabarta.

After Airgead Mor set out for Ullad and conveined an Assembly in the Bruitene of Ullad, whence he appointed his brother Ardfear viceroy of Ullad.

Tinne the old ollam of Ullad had died and Docta was elected by the conclave of ollams.

Airgead was a handsom man well skilled in the chase, dance, music and heroic deeds.
He waas skillful of hann and dexterios and an excellent conversaionalist wise in counsil and patient in hearing others.

When he refused a request he did so graciously and gently as a prince.

This lead the cromfears to believe they could seduce him to their belief andd ways.
One of the Cromfears who had ambition to become Ardcromfear Tioll hoped to win the influence of Ardrid through his beautiful daugher Cara.

He therefore brought Cara one of the most beautiful maidins of Ullad to the tents of Aod chief of Maginse where the king was.

He had recieved no invatation to go there nor none from Dunsoberce where he followed Airgead with his daughter in hand.

Toill after a rather long sojourn at Dunsoberce left Cara there in the care of one of the women near the fortress, his kinswoman.

Tioll had told the king that the original 9 laws of Baal given to the 9 cromfears had been at the beginning of the laws of Errin and the laws of Ullad until they were errasedunder Cairbre M Ollam Fodla when he was threatened by the ollams of Mur n ollam after he had abdicated the kingsdom to Oilliol Boirngneat.

At the time Caibre was old and near death Caibre suffered the 9 laws to be erased from the beginning of the roll of Errion and Ullad.

Tioll had asked Airgead to restore these laws to the rolls.

Airgead ordered the rolls to be examined but no errasures were found by the examiners Doctra the Ardollam or the chief judge of Dunsoberce.

He said Toill should be summoned to Teacmor and shone this at the next Assembly.
He commanded his viceroy and brother Ardfear to instuct Toill that there was no place on the rolls of Ullad for any ones desires and that nothing had been erased.

Tioll was hence angry and he raved on to Ardfear about Baal and was argumentative
to uphold the position regarding the 9 laws of Baal.

Ardfear asked him if Baal had spoken to him and he answered not and that if Baal did speak now to the cromfears none would understand the words.

Toill persisted in anger to Tacmor with Cara where he dwelt in the kings pavilion at Tabarta.

After a time Toill was brought home int he kings chariot and Cara brought forth a male child.

Toill became rich in flocks herds of cattle and valuable treasures.

His daughter Cara was also regaled in the splendor befitting the mother of a kings child.

When Eneige the Ardcromfear died Toill came and asked to be made Ard cromfear.

Ardrig would not appoint him but Toill persisted till he weiried the king and Cara was no loigner welcome in his tent.

After Airgead had been king 12 years Mumain and Gaalen under Daire and Fiaca conspired agains him.

He sent a message to Dromt of Ultonnmact asking him to cross the Shannon at Athluan [Athlone].
The 2 armnys met at the hill of Crocain.

The army of Mumain was encamped on the Buideaman at Oris.

Airgead Mor sent his messager Meorlaoc to inquire why the warriours of Mumain had gathered.

Daire answered the the knight of Glenadun that he wished only to awaken the tune of the harp of the king.
There was no equal in Erin to Airgead on the harp.

Maerlaoc chief of Glenadun answered saying,
'If the groans of those falling in slaughter would be music to the ears of Daire it would be just he shared that music himself.'

But before Airgeads army appeared Fiaca of Gaalen marched off and Daire than made haste to flee to Mumain.

Ardrig followed him.

Daire neither stopped his amry nor delayed until they came to the plain of Athdair where he formed his amry in a battle formation.

Ardrig sent heralds to proclaim in his hearing
'Ardrig is passing over the creast of Athdair let no one hinder his passsge.'

Daire was soon felled by a stone when the battle began from one of his own slingers.

Lugad his son had come at age 16 to help his father.
This prince threw himself over his fathers body as the army of Mumain fled from Ardrig Airgead Mor.

Ardrig was kind to this youth and gave him permisssion to build a carn over his father.
He offered to assist and called Lugad my child.

This was constructed where Diare fell.

The death song was chanted.

Airgeadmor played his harp in accompanyment of the minstrels of Mumain as the maidens and matron morned and lamented over Diare.

Airgead than himslef sung the war song for this king standing between Lugad and Diares brother Cobtac.
When Airgead Mor set out for Tabarta he presented his war steed Ainluat to Lugad m Daire embrassed him and gave him the hand of friendship.

airgead pg 2

Dromths brother Ceath led the Dannan army back to Ultonnmact but Dromth went with Ardrig to Tabarta.

he than conviened the Assembly of Teacmor and summoned Fiaca of Gaalen to answer why he had marched agaisnt Ardrig.

The Mumain Assembly conviened thier bruiteine and eleced Coblac Daires Brother king of Mumain.

After the Cronicles of Gaalag and Eolus had ben read the feis and games were celebrated.

The second session took up the question of Fiacas army.

Fiaca claimed Daire had come to Gaalen with a great force and said he could not refuse when such an one asks.
The king did not accept this lame excuese for disrupting the peace and asked for eric or 1000 cows against Fiaca.

Fiaca asked that Mumain should pay 1/2 the eric.

Ardrig delcared that Diare had paid with his life as his eric and he slept beneigh his carn.

When he asked again for the eric against Fiaca the majority raised their hand and it was decread.

But when the cows were driven to the king he asked where they had come from and was told as a rent from the Gaal people.

Ardrig sent backthese cows to the owners and delcared the eric should be taken from king Fiacas herds and it was so.

This cattle Ardrig ordered driven to Ultonnmact to Dromt as a rebate on the hi rent Ultonnmact had always paid.

The king than went to Dunsoberce where every word of the story of Fiaca and the war was recorded and read publicly.

The comlanns and hunters of Ullad s Tanasteacs came and preformed in good order drills and battle movements according to the rules of disapline written by Seadna and his tactics book.

In Airgead Mors 22 year as Ardrig 358 Bc Ardfear of Er died and was mounrned in Ullad.

Airgeadmor put his son Badorn as viceroy of Ullad.

In his 26th year 354 BC Fiaca of Gaalen died and his son Duac was elected king of Gaalen.

In his 28 year Cobtac king of Mumain died and Mumain elected ugad m Daire the new king.

A normal Assembly was held in 351 BC.
All was at peace in Errion.

Lugad m Daire gave him a race horse not out of affection for Lugad was cold in heart.

He the king recalled there was still hatred in Iolars children over Muredac Simon Brec and in Iber over Daire.

He recommended the comlanns be kept in the tactis of war and ready for battle.

Both Duac of Gaalen and Lugad m Daire of Mumain sought vengance.

While they smiled sweetly at AirgeadMor they secretly plotted against him.

They got Dromt to join them saying they would free Danaan .

At this time AirgeadMor Ardrig went to the dwelling of Erid on Mount Alta the brother of the Ardeas chieftain.

They went to fish in the river Ramar.

A horseman came to them there saying the army of Mumain led by Lugad was near Magnas of Gaalen to meet Duac m Fiaca Tolgraig.

Ardrig sent messangers to Dromt and Badan in Ullad telling them to march to him.

Ardrig found these forces of the confederated army of Duac and Lugad at the confluence of the rivers Dubaman and Ruideaman.

It was mid summer and the rivers were low and middaay.
When the armys of Gaalen and Mumain saw Ardrig crossing in his helmet and lite mail with 3 comlanns of Dannaan and Geintir at his side Gaalen turned back as Duac thought these were the comlanns of Ullad.

Mumain stood its ground and when Gaalen persieved these were the Danaan and Geintir beside the king they came back to the battle line.

Ardrig ordered the battle and it began.

Gaalen was routed but Mumain held against the Danaans and Firgneath.

At the end of the day Airgead Mor pierced with many arrows fell and was dead.

Badorn had not yet appeared with the comlanns of Ullad.

Duac than marched to tTeacmor withthe Gaalen army.

The next morning Lugad came also with his forces on Tabarta.

When Badorn finally arrived he found 7000 dead.

All had been wounded in the front indicating they had all died facing each other not running away.

70 trenches were dug 100 ft long and the bodys were put in 7 breast.

A might carn was built over this grave.

Nn elegy was chanted by Meilig the Ardollam and Badorn sang the battle song and called this carn
Ardbreacan.

Airgeadmor was taken to Dunsoberce.

20 comlanns met them on the way and wanted to bury Ardrig there and take their army to Tabarta but Badorn said they needed to elect a king of Ullad first.

The comlanns than wheeled round and the Baalbriath of Ullad without a word or noise returned wiht he body of the king to Dunsoberce with his five sons along side them.

He was buried at Cluaneac in the medow where AirgeadMor loved to view his horses while living.

All Ullad sang the death chant and Cinncomlann sang the battle song and Airgeadmor was called munificent and brave.

Badorn son of Airgeadmor was elected king of Ullad.

But that the present state was not permissible or legal and this precident of not being elected could not stand.

The chief of Maglein Murcada said that all the nobles and princes of Gaalen were than presnt and could not Connuig b electd at Tabarta.

Fionn Siorlam 445-430 BC

2008-07-25T08:15:00.001-07:00

Fionn Siorlam 445-430 BC

Fion Siorlam [long arms] m Cierm Seadna

The kings princes, chieftains ,ollams and tribunes gathered again at Tabarta to elect Fionn the son of Cier of Ullad Ard Rig.

Again a son of Er sat the throne of Errion.

The feis was held the games clelebrated.

No strife or law matters were brought to be setteled and peace reigned over Errion.
The Cronicles and law tracts were read and the Assembly ajourned.

Cas a prince o Ir was appointd viceroy of Ullad.
Fionn went to Dunsoberce each yer and returned to Teacmor in July [Iarsgith].

When Fionn heard from his viceroy Cas that the judges in Ullad were not ruling justly he conveined the Bruiteine in Ullad to address this.
injustice.

After the Cronicles and law tracks were read and the writings of Eocaid Ollom Fodla the heralds proclaimed
Stands anyone on the Bruiteine of Ullad demanding justice?
to which a voice replied.

The matter of the judges was heard on the complaint of Fuiduir of Bincoir Artan saying the judge was predisposed against him and his family and always awarded for the plaintiff
therefoy making him and his family pverty stricken over time.

When Fuar the judge was accosted he spoke tremebling making his own case worse.

It was found that the judge Fuar and the Plaintiff Ceudail had colluded agains the complainant Fuuidir in which all of his wealth and cattle had been taken.

Scartan one of the judges attempted to defend his fellow Fuars judgment but than took umbridge with Fuar and condembed him.

However the king Fionn found all guilty of misjudgements and miscarriages of justice and proposed they all be unseated from the post of judge.

He ordered although that the names be left in the roll of judges with the reason for their removal posted to instruct judges in the future.

He ordered the case be reheard in Ardtan.

A second case was herad from Easna regarding the betrothal of one of her daughters and an evil plot by distroying her family possessions by a man who was stealing the cattle and also propositioned the daugher massa.

When thy made complaint to the judge he was deaf to it.
But when some cattle strayed onto their land the judge quickly summoned her husband Bosluat and without jury condemned him saying he held the power to do so from the king to execute judgement without trial or jury.

The judge continued to fine and harrasss the family until they became poor and he had done this because he desired the daughter massa who would not secumb to him.

She than named the adulterous judge as being the same Scartan.

Siolac the chief judge of Dunsoberce requested a witness to cooberate her testimony.
Scartan than excused himself saying he was ill.
Tul was unable to proceed as witness then because of this absence of Scartan.

Ardfear ordered Scartan be brought in to the Assembly.

Ardfear gave Scartan an overnight reprieve as the day was late.

Next morning when Siolac asked the judge Scartan if Tul should speak Scartan said,'let him keep his knowlege to himself.'

The king than rose and said
What if when a judge profanes the law he repay 9 times the price of the damage he has done?
Yea let it be so replied the Bruinteine.

Ardrig also said ,
If a chief judge does evil in a cause his fine should be 15 times the one suffering from his injustice and he should be removed as a judge.

Yea let it be so replied the assembly of Ullad.

The king noted the power of the law to protect the weak as well as smite the proud lawbreaker.

During the deliberations against Scartan Fionn had observed how quickly one seeks out the fault of another no matter how small but will not see his own guilt though it be as large as a blazing fire on a mountain at night.
He feard that the children of Errion would complacently accept the word of a judge in place of the word of the law,
remembering Sartans quick defilment of the collusion between Fuar and Ceudail to deprive Fuidir of his wealth.

As to Eansa the king told her to go to Dunsovberce where he orderd his chief herdsman to send her husband Bosluat 10 heifers, 10 sheep and 10 goats from the royal herd.

He than instructed his vicroy Cas to kep his ears open to further injustice in Ullad and returned to Tabarta.

In Fionns 9th year 436 BC Thorl of Ultonnmact lay near death at Cruacan the royal palace ner roscomain.

Fionn went there and after a month Thorl king of Ultonnmact died.

In 430 BC Congaal king of Gaalen died and his son Eoocaid was made king of Gaalen.

In this year also a large fleet of Feine [phoneian murchants] came in ships to Inbior Colba.

Thre were 200 freight ships and 100 Lebair Aons [one row of oars].

These bringing goods from all the divisions of the world.

When the Assembly conviened at Tabarta Thorls Chair was still empty.

The Feine came to partiicipate in the Eactra games.

The Feine buyers came to announce a prize of a war top [helmet] of bronze with a crest, a suit of armour, a shield and sword and a lance all worth 100 cumals of silver or 20 pieces of gold to any champion of Erin strong enough to pierce the luireac [mail] with an arrow or a spear.

No one won the prize.

The prize was then given to Ardrig.

This gift made the princes, chieftains, tribunes and champions with means enough to purchase these suits of armour rush to acquire them and the Feine demonstrated to these buyers how by placing a wool padding within the armour they could not be hurt from the mighiest blow.

After 9 days the second session was held the Cronicles and law tracts read and the Assembly of Tecmor ajourned.

Fionn the king set out for Dunsoberce and was stricken with foot pains.

Salt water baths were prescirbed by his physian Fillian but Fionn died from the growing pain in his feet and legs.
[again probably a blood colt and ambulism arising from hypertention then untreated].

He had been Ardrig for 16 years.
He was mourned by Ullad.

Four Kings 470-451 BC

2008-07-25T08:13:00.001-07:00

Duac m Bresrig m Elim 470-451 BC

Duac king of Mumain than died and Diare his son was elected King of Mumain in 471 BC.
When Duac m Bres had been Ardrig 7 years 463 BC Oilliol of Gaalen died and the Bruiteine of Magnas elected Muredac m Muredac Simon Breac m Aeda Glas king of Gaalen.

Bothe Daire of Mumain and Muredac 2 of Gaalen were jelous of Ard Rig Duac m Bres and Muredac wanted vengance.

He constantly annoyed Fail father of Raoilt of Ib Dronag and instigated Daire againt them
claiming there had been some priceless heirlooms of horses wolfhounds and cloaks embroderied in fine gold and a shield forged by Feariris in the great armory of the mountains of Mumain.

Daire brougt an inditement at Teacmor saying Raoilt had stolden these from his father Duacs pavilion.

But Ardrig stated the horses [steeds] wolf dogs and robes were his and he had given them to Raoilt and had never belonged to Duac of Mumain.

The shield had been made for Ardrig and the engraved and painted likeness of the arms of Raoilt put on it by Duac Ardrig instructions.

This brought shame on Muredac of Gaalen and Diaire of Mumain.

Later in 461 BC Muridac caused further troube when he marched his armed comlanns upon Tara.

Ard rig was suprized and met this force.
As he went to cross the river Magnalbe a hail of arrows came from the Gaalen arny and one pierced the kings armour and went into his heart.

He fell and Muredac 2 proceeded to sease Teacmor Tarbarta by armed Force unlawfully.

Muredaig Bolgrac 461-455 BC

The princes and nobles of Gaalen having seized Tarebarta by force elected Muredac Blogac M Muredach
Simon Breac Ardrig.
Cier and Thorl stayed in their own place.

After 4 years as king Daire of Mumain died 457 BC and Eunda m Duac m Elim was elected king oif Mumain.

Muredac than entered Mumain with an armed force wherein Muredac Bolgrgrac fell.
The army of Gaalen fled to Gaalen from the battle of Ardbruisge.

His brother Congaal was elected king of Gaalen.

Eunda m Duac m Elim M Roiteasac became Ardrig in 455-4350 BC.

The feis was held athe games on the field of contests for 9 days.
At the second session the Cronicles were read and the rolls of the law tracts opened and read in public.

Stands anyone on Tabarta demanding justice?
No voice answered.
All went to theirr own tanasteac and dwelling,

Eunda had the spirit of Roiteasac and spent most of his days in the mountains of Mumain Iber.

He assayed every place for gold, silver, copper and other minerals.

Silver and copper were discovered.

One day inthe mountains Eunda saw a great stag and seizing a bow he shot the creature which fell dead on the spot.

Because he was pleased with this feat he commaned his artisans to create medals with the image of this stag on them as memorial peices.
These were given to maidens as penants for thier neck chains or a pin.

After 5 years of this peaceful and progressive reign Eunda died in his tent in the mountains of Mumain where he was buried.
His carn is near that of Roiteasac.

He only dwelt on Tabarta while the Assembly was in session.

450-445 BC Lugad m Ducac m Elim M Roiteasac brother of Eunda was electd king of Mumain.

the call went out across Erin to conveine the General Assenmbly to elect Ardrig.
Lugad was eleced.

He caled the General Assembly disrupting the regular 3 years pattern established by Eocaid Ollam Fodla for a 3 year meeting.

The Assemblys were held every 3 years but some of the kings only held them 3 years after their own election not the established time keeping pattern.
Other times the Assembly did not conviene to elect a new Ardrig until its regular time for convention.
This made for irreglulatrity in time keeping where dates certain could be calculated by every 3rd year of the Assembly convention on Tabarta Hill.

Lugad loved peace because it benefited the children of the soil and the Gaal increased and the soil yeilded rich harvests of fruits and grains.

He loved peace as unfinished works could be completated such as assaying and projects of his brother Eunda.

Ullad was in peace and during Lugads reign .
After 24 years as its king Cier died.

This caused Lugad to have the Cronicles and law tracts of Errion read but no feis or games wer held because of Ciers death in unending sleep.

His son Cier Jr was elected king of Ullad.

Caba the old ollam of Ullad followed this king in deatha nd the confernce of ollams elected Dabair.

In Lugads 5th year 445 BC Lugad was in a place in the mountains of Mumain to inspect the mines.
A great snow storm fell with a blizzard wind obliterating the sun [ a white out] and landscape so no road pass or valley could be seen.

Cold and exposure overcame the retunue and they died under drifts of snow [sneacta].
The rest also were lost in the tractless mountains dying of cold and hunger.

Leaving none to tell their story.

Whe the storm subsided trackers were sent out and the body of Lugad was found and buried where he died.

His brother Eocaid was elected king of Mumain.

Four Kings 470-451 BC

2008-07-25T08:13:00.000-07:00

Seadna m Fionn m Caibre 486-471 BC

2008-07-23T06:12:00.001-07:00

Seadna m Fionn m Cairbre m EOF 486-471 BC

Seadna m Fionn m Cairbre m Eocaid ollam Fodla of the house of Ir and Ullad was eleced hi king of Errion and king of Ullad.

In the 3rd year of Seadnas reign the impending disturbance forseen by his predicessor Fionn came to pass.
Beacause Duac m Bresrig had married the sister of Seadna, Iberait, he told Seadna his brother in law that Oilliol m Siorna king of Gaalen had desired an alligiance with him Duac to combat the strength of the alliance of Ullad with Ultonnmact and Geinter of the Firngneath peoples.

He Olilliol wanted an alliance beteen the kingdoms of Gaalen, Mumain and Ib Lugad.

At this revelation at Tabarta druing an Assembly Seadna told of this alliance to Thorl the king of Ultonnmact.

He counseled the keeping of the armies of Ullad and Ultonnmact well drilled and ready to fight against their enemmies.
Thorl agreed and renewed his pledge to Ullad.

The cronfears than conspired to achieve more power and profit to Baal by these internal desentions and they encouraged it.

When Seadna heard of their doings and enouragings toward war Seadna the king said the cromfears could set the fire blazing but could not extinguish it and that the princes and nobles of Ullad would not listen to them but adhear to the teachings of the ollams.

However the Muredaig m Aoda m Nuad was agressive, evil thinking and angry.

He perpetrated many evil deeds and was considered as a felon prince.

His body of followers behavoir was degraded and impure and dedicated to satifation of their desires.

Muredac came to Siorna his brothers tents to induce him in his causes which were agaisnt justice.

He and Siorna were brothes.

Siorna was told by Muredac that he would not be chided but only in private in his own tents.

Siorna hence whet to his brother Muredacs tents to speak privatly to Muredac.

Siorna after a month was not seen and his friend Raoilt m Fail chief of Ib Drong
who had been present at the firt meeting of these brothers went with soldiers to seach for Siorna.

They went to the vacinity of Muredac camp and captured a fellow there who happened to be of the Ib Dronag tribe.
When he found a fellow of his family among the troop he told the story and where to find Siornas body near the fortress of Muredac in a cave.

Raoilt than went the way this man had told him, found the cave adn the dead body of Siorna and they carried it hometo Ibdrong in a beir of cut saplings.

wWhen Muredac heard they had found the body he went to his stronghold and swore by Baal, Re and Tarsnach to take vengance on Raoilt for finding his hiddeen body.

Raoilt than set out to Tabarta to tell the king Seadna of Siornas death.

Seadna Ardrig when he heard of the crime said the matter should be taken up by the judge Meirtar who wrote the inditement and sent a jury warrent [Ceist clunstig] to Muredac a prince of Gaalen to stand at Techmor to answer the inditment regarding the death of his brother Siorna.

Muredac however refused to come threating the judges life.
He ws frenzied with anger at the charge.

Muredaig did not appear as the Assembly conveined on Teacmar and his chair was empty.

Enid chief of Oir asked the charge be read.
But he was refused as the law forbade hearing an inditment without the presence of the accused.

Enid objected but Ardrig Seadna said the law must prevail.

Fail asked if an investigation could not be held but Ardrig again said No that was not proper proceedure as the law was read it commanded the accused be seised and a bench warrent was issued to arrest Muredac and bring him forth to answer the charge.

After waiting a time it was reported to the Assembly that the chief judge did not have the power to produce the accused who had 3000 men to guard him.

seadna than orderd
What if Muredac be captured by force and the Assembly assented
Yea let it be so.

2 comlanns [companies][ were sent out.
The body guard of Muredac fell before them and Muredaig was taken in chains like a wild beast to Tabarta.

He sat himself on the chair of Gaalen but Ib Drongs chief Fial rose and questioned the lawfullness of one stained with fratricidal blood to sit among the princes of his own line.

Ardrig Seadna however ruled that he had as yet not been found gullty and the charge agains him was not proven.
He asked Fial to be patient until the cause was heard.
And it was so.

Muredaig was asked to appoint counsel and give a list of his witnesses.

Muredagi refused to answer his eyes glazing over the Assembly full of mockery and hate.
Ardrig called Meirtar to produce Muredac when the Assembly reconviened for its second session.

The feis of Teacmor was held. The games of 9 days were held.

At the second session Muredac was in his proper place.

Raoilt than told of Muredacs coming to his borther Sironas pavilion and words of anger from Muredach when Siorna his brother blamed him for his evil life before Raoilt who was present in Siornas tents.

Muredac told Siorna to come to his tents pirivatly to address these personal comlaints.
Siorna did so and after a month was no where to be found.

He told how he Raoilt set out to find Siorna and a relative of one of his company Camoid told where Siorna could be found.

They carried the body to Ib Drong and made his carn there.

Muredac did not answer when asked about this.

Braid of Cluaindeas a friend of Camoiid was sworn before Baal.

These two witnessses where common soldiers in the pay of Muredacs comalanns.

He began to admit to his own shameful acts in this roll but Ardrig stopped him saying he was not called to testify against himself but the cause of Muredac.

When rough talk arose from Muredac at the pavillion against his brother Siorna, 4 men Braid one of them were ordered by Muredac to bind the hands and feet of Siorna and to take him to this cave.

Braid later asked who should bring food and drink to the cave but Muredaig answered,
'What is it to thee o son of Adultry?'

After three days Briaid stold to the cave and found Siorna dead.

Muredaig when asked to respond not standing to show respect for the Asssmbly said,
'What answer will a prince of Iolar make to his common enemies?' and he had only intended to make Siorna suffer an annoyance for chiding him.

He blamed the soldiers for abandoning Siorna not himself and that his had not commaned them to do more.
Muredaig than rose to go free but Ardrig said not and put the vote to the Assembly as to judgment.

All raized the right hand to judge Muredac guilty excepte Oilliol king of Gaalen.

The penalty was read. Ardrig ordered it Executed.

Muredaig was taken bound hand and foot as he had bound Siorna his brother to the dungeon of Teacmor.

His family came to plead for his life but Ardrig said the law prevailed and he had been convicted by judge and jury.

His captors than dug a cave and placed Murdaig therin with out food and drink.
The guards of him however borught him sustainece and after 32 days he was set ffee at midday.

When he was released he sped forth to his steed brought forth by his company vaulted on it as a wolf bursts through the hunters cordon and sped away to his native land.

Ardrig was however not satisfied that Muredac was still alive
After causing with malace the death of another, and asked the Assembly still in session for a law giving death in the same manner.
The Assembly answered
yea let it be so and the words were recorded in the law tract.

Seadna pg 2

Muredac wanted vengance and sent his reainers to kill his accusor Raoilt and they sent an arrow through Raoilts left ear.
He complined to Oilliol king of Gaalen but Oilliol did nothing but encourage his realtives on.

Seadna amended the law tracts of Ullad to reflect the Errion ruling on murder.

He amended the law of Ullad to pay a stiphend to the soldiers of Ullad as such were forbidden to carry of the spoils of war.

To do this he asked for a tax to be paid to the ullad treasury by civilians to keep the comlanns perpared even in time of peace.

The Assmebly assented and the standign army was created and paid.

Duac of Mumain married to Fionn m Fionn of Deadna Ionna Arads brothers daughter was against Ard rig.
The comlanns of Ib Dronag and Cumar also withdrew from th king of Gaalan Oilliol.

Duac met with Oilliol at Mumain and the princes and nobles were called together.
He sent a message to his brother in law Seadan Ardrig saying the wolf and wild dog were abroad in the land of Erin under Muredac Simon Breac[ spotted fairy man]

Muredaig Simon Breac meanwhile marched with his comlanns to Seanaman River [Shannon] and met an army of Mumain auxiliarys.

They marched together to Ultonnmact crossing at Athcreas and brought distruction to the land.

Lorc commanded Mumains army a prince of Ib Lugaid.
Muredaig was commander in chief of the combined army.

Thorl responded to this attack and the Dannaan went out with their comlanns to drive out this wild fire.

Ullad came to Thorls aid but Thorl did not wait for them and battle was given.

Lorc the lion of Ib lugad of Ith fell.

Muredaig however drove back the Ultonnmact forces spread distruction and seized the spoils of war taking as well the flocks and herds and crossed back east over the Shannon where they met the army of Ullad under Cier.

On the following day battle was given on the great plain east of the river Shannon.

The army of Mumain and Gaalen were commanded by Aongaid and Muredac Simon Breac.

Cier m Seadna and Thorl of Ultonnmact lead the Ullad and Danaan forces.
Slaughter followed.

Mumian bore its brunt.
Gaalen broke at the first charge and fled in disorder.

Mumian stood and was slaughtered in charge after charge till at midday the earth was slippery with blood.
They than broke for the Shannon but those not killed by sword were drowned.
The shimmering armored bodies swept down by the angry waters.

Cier camped for 9 days on the battle plain with Thorl, the victors.
They then retired to Tabarta their bright lances and shileds gleaming in the sun.

Don of Mis said Ardrig dwelt in the midst of a treacherous crew and the cincomlann[commander] Don asked for the building of a fortress in quick reach of Tabarta.

Ardrig would not hear of it saying he would not retain the office of Ardrig but by reason and dignity.

He sent messengers to Oilliol of
Gaalen and Duac of Mumain to appear and give reason for the attack on Ultonnmact.

Oilliol said let Muredaig reply.

Duac said if the Danaans had time to complain they also had time to rub their wounds.

Oilliol hoever did come to Seadna and friendshp was given beteen them blaming Muredac and his headstrong dispostion for the disruptions.

Oilliol asked Seadna to condone Muredacs fault but Seadna said only the Assmbly coud do that.

The two went home Oilliol to Gaalne and Seadna to Dunsoberce in Ullad.

Muredac continued his plotting and disruption against Ardrig and was not controlled by Oilliol his kinsman and King of Gaalen
Muredac changes like the wind and was a dark cloud over Erin.

Seadna pg 3

Seadna spoke on the Bruinteine of Ullad expressing that his mind felt he would not come before them again.

Afterwaards his son Cier also exprssed consern for his fathers safety at Tabarta offering to go with hhim hence as a guard.

Seadna disuaded him from this saying he should remain at Dunsoberce and to put away his thoughts of forboding.

In Cruinnigad [september] Seadna set out with his retainers for Tabarta.

After 5 days he crossed the Eider at the dence forest of Luirge where the hightway went through the forest.

In that primeval forest an armed legion ambushed Ardrig and slaughtered the entire retinue but Doeg chief of Ardeas and Seadna Ardrig whom they carried off to a cavern where they were cast in chains.

In time they were bothe taken to Muredac.

The Muredac Simon Breac commanded them to seize the king and bind him on the left side hand and foot to a tree and than on his right side hand and foot to another tree. And the chains to encircle the two trees.

He than commanded the trees to be cut down.

When one tree fell it tore Ardrig Seadna in two one half following the felled tree.

When the second tree fell Ardrigs other half was draggd behind it.

Muredaig which means wall pain kept Doeg as a witness to this horendous crime.

He than commanded the captive dead kings chains left on him calling Seadna 'carrion'.

He released Doeg to tell the Ullad people and Errion of this sadistic death.

And to tell them Muredac had freed himself from the shame imposed on him by Seadna.

Seadna had reigned a just and learned king in both Ullad and Errion.

In 470 after the woodl murder of the king the Muredac went to Tabarta and broke into Teacmor with violence.

He had before killing Seadna sent couriors out to summon the general Assembly at Tabarta.

Only some nobles and princes of Gaalena and mumain came forth.

None of the Ullad or Ultonnmact came.

When the heralds then proclaimed the throne of Errion vacant all were suprized and were silent.

As no one spoke Muredach rose and proclaimed himself son of Aoda of the line of Ermion {Iolar] must sit as Ardrig.

He went to Lia Fail .
The Ardcromfer of Gaalen placed the crown on his perverted head and the royal robe on his shoulders.

Doeg meanwhile called the Bruiteine of Ullad and Cier m Seadna was elected king of Ullad.

He announced vengance was needed for the death of his father.
Doeg than told of what had transpired at Luige Forest.

Ullad called for war.

So let their be war replied the new king.

The life of the murderer was demanded an eric for the blood of the king Seadna.

All set out to free the land from the ravening wolf fratracide and murderer,
Muredac Simon Breac the spotted.

Caba was elected Ardollam in place of Beirid who had been killed at Lurge Forest.

Simon meanwhile had demanded imperial taxes from Ultonnmact.

Thorl replied he would pay taxes to the king of Errion but not to the murderer of Ardrig.

Muredaig when he heard this reply was angerd and swore to feed the Danaans to the fishes of the sea.

Cier than shut off the road to Ultonnmact and sent messengers to Duac at Mumain and to Raoilt m Fail chief of Ib Drong and to Alexander chief of Cumar asking them to go as conncomlans [commanders] in silence when they were called by Muredac.

Muredac did order the comlanns mustered on Ceiosail before himself Ardrig.

The cromfears of Gaalen said to the general public that the Danaans and Ullad did not know Baal but called on the spirtis of the deep
CATHA BATMON [bathmon] and blamed the ollams for distroying the warrior spirit of the Gaal.

In Sioca [ January] when Balal rose late the plane of Magruna was alit with fires.

At first light every comlann of Ullad was ready for battle and drew his sword to fight till one or the other of the armys two leaders were dead.

The army gave its war cry till the air trembled and marched on Muredac like the wind cutting to peices the bravest and fiercest bands who fought for Muredac.

Thorl and his Dannaans fought like hungry wolves.

Duca had his herald callout
What shame is this that the Gaal of Errion befoul themselves in defending Muredac against the punishment for fratracide and murder the guilt of Simon Breac?'

Duac and Ib Drong than wheeled away from Muredac .

Cier sprang to kill Muredac but Raoilt and Duac restrained him saying a glorios death on the field of battel was to good for Muredac.

He was captured instead and taken in shackesl to Thorl.

Gaalen and Mumains forces fled across the Shannon. out of the land of Ultonnmact.

Muredac was put in a chest and taken to Luirge Forest when Cier ordered him to be placed in the dungeon of Dunsoberce till the General Asselmby decided what fate he shouudl have.

Duac Doeg and Raoilte however resolved to kill Muredach on the march.

All were secretly informed of this and when they came to spot in the Forest they took Muredac from his cage cast him into the cavern where he had cast Seadna.

They tahn took him out formed a circle around him repeated the crimes of Muredac and than tore him asunder as he had torn Ardrig by tying him to 2 trees and splitting him in half.

Cier when he was told of this decried the act against the law of Errion.

Simon Breac was so called because he had marks on him frmm his imprisonment and because he had stained his princely life with horendous misdeeds.

Fionn m Cairbre 506-486 BC

2008-07-23T06:09:00.000-07:00

Fionn son of Bratha 506-486 BC

Fionn m Cairbre m Blath of the house of Ir son of Bratha[ probably his mothers house] was unanimously elected Ard Rig again bring to the rule of Irland the sons of Ir.

Fionn continued to reside at Dunsoberce for 3 years while Teacmor remained closed.

He made the royal Progress of Ullad each year and paid his expenditures from the royal treasury.
He made Eocaid Ollam Fodla his example for rule.

Fionn was magnificant, princely and had high asspirations.

In Meas [August] of Fionns 3rd year 2 young men and a warrior appeared at Dunsoberce with military attire and shields on their right shoulders and swords at their thigh.
They had 3 attendants with battle axes and spears.

However they came in peace.
They had come from Bruitan .

The worrior Tirlorg m Glais and one young man Son of Breint [Brent].

They recalled the tempest wreck of 4 years earlier and that Errion was ruled by a mighty king and that these Erin people had come from Gaal Scuit Iber of Ib Breocaen west of Buasce from whence they themselves had come.

They had come to ask Errion and Ullads king to assist them in battle against the souht enemeys and they in turn would ally themselves to defend Erin.
They laid the battle axes before them and discribed them as those of the enemy of the Gaal.

Fionn however told them that the law tracts of Errion forbad the comlanns to march out of Errion forever.

He told them there could be no treaty except a peace connection between them.
He admonished the Gaal of Iber to shun the distroying power of constant strife and internicine slaughter and to walk the road of fraternal love and friendship, heart to heart, hand to hand, comlann to commlann, united as one man and that to do this the host of an enemy could not overcome them.

He cited Eocaid Ollam Fodlas messgage that the way to slavery was wide and easy but difficult and trying to relese from.

Fionn asked who was Brent and was told he was the son of Droim of Bluas who had lead the men from the mines where they had been imprisoned by the Feine.

They said nothing was done in Brent without the counsel of the cromfear.
That they had no law tract or Cronicle.

Fionn held a banquet for them at Dunsoberce and games, music , dance and harping and tales of ancient times.

The minstrels told a tale of Banna and Fearmor who had crossed to Errion from Dunmianac for their child to be born.

A chase was held.

Tirlorg and his men however could not ride so followed on foot.

Fionn snet them of with gifts for Brent their chief in Bruitan and 5 hounds for Brents son.

Fionn said he greived over the ingorance in Bruitan and would send messengers of peace and ollavs as teachers to instruct them in science and reason and the bridling of desires.

He instructed Tirlorg to tell the Bruitan not to go out in conquest of other lands but to defend Oirbaal as one if it were invaded by another.

He wished Tirlorg the light of knowledge as he set sail for Bruitan Island.

When the great Assembly of Teacmor was then held in this 3rd year Morda of Maglein inquired as to these strangers.
Urla then read the Cronicles of Errion regarding this visit.

Thje Assembly was pleasant with the reading and commended the king Fionn m Cairbre.

Aedan [ Aoda or Hugh]king of Gaalen died in 495 BC.

His son Oilliol became king of Gaalen.

Fionn apointed his son Seadna viceroy of Ullad with the help of Iargaal and Ardtan his assistants.

Fionn than dwelt a Tabarta and went every year to Dunsoberce.

Fionn played the harp well and was a clever horseman.
His horses were the pride of Erin.

He restrained the judges and subdued the cromfears.

He protected the weak and every 3rd year remitted the ardcios[tax] to Ultonnmact.

Ullad, Ultonnmach and Geintir Firgneath gave their hearts to Fionn.

He percieved dissatisfaction in Gaalen and Mumain and drilled the comlanns and marcSluig[ cavalry] and his archers and slingers.

He called an Assembly at Tabarta in 487 BC his 19th year as king as it was the 9th General Assembly called during his reign.
Ard Rig extended the celbrations to 29 days.

In this year in Tionnsnad [March 2] Fionn died at Dunsoberce.

He built a stronghold with high walls with a moat wide and deep and filled with waterbrought up the hill.

The hill and fortress were in Mumain not Tabarta and obtained for this king the name Ardfear Imleac.

Nuad m Oilioll m Siorna of Gaalen of the house of Iolar was elected high king.

The feis was held the games held the law tract read publicily.
The Assembly ajourned.

Nuad was very much controlled by the cromfears and his mind wandered.
He did not enjoy music or dance nor the chase or the ancient tales.
He thought only of the mystic chants of the cromfears.

Bres of Mumain married Aonie Nuads sister and he ruled there over what of Gaalen was not under the control of the comfears.

Bres guided the young of both Mumain and Gaalen in the chase,deer hunting, and the arms and manuvers of the phalange.

Nuad never went home but dwelt perpetually at Teacmor.

After they ahd been fed Neilte asked where they were from and they told him Bruitan [Britain].

They were afraid however to face the king Cairbre but were assured by Neiltes wife no harm would come to themn from this wise and generous king.
it was so.

Caibre heard their story, outfitted them with a provisioned craft much superior to the frail currah and sent them on their way.

Neilte and Serb [presumably his friend or son] were able to understand the dialect of these people and it was revealed that their ancestors to had come from the Gaal race of Breocean [Brigante] of Gaalag and had been brought to Bruitan to work in the mines of Dunmianac.

The Fiene [Phonecian] traders who had brought them tried to hold them to labor as slaves without pay but their ancestors escaped with volence to the great sea [Atlantic/ North sea] side of the island where they now dwelt.

They hd no knowledge of an over chief or of battle tactics.

Ulra the Ardollam was instructed to provide them what they needed and to record their testimony in his Cronicles of Ullad.

At that time a slide of dirt occured at night from Mount Ronard distrying 3 houses and killing the sleeping families therein.

When the time to conviene the Assembly at Tabarta arrived Cairbre and his retenue arrivede to torrents of rain and high winds.

After many days of this in his pavilion Caibre fell ill.

He desired to return to Ullad and so the troop began a march back to Dunsoberce.
When the king reached Ardeas with his ollm Urla and Min chief of Ardeas Caibre 2 stopped .

He knew he was dying and commanded his body to be laid there at Ardeas in Ullad.
When Bres the high King heard of cCairbres death he called an Assembly and said they would attend Caibres wake and burial.

A countless host of all the princes and nobles including Ib Lugad and Ultonnmact was arrayed all clad in armour and with arms.

What if the arms and shields be left at Tabrta.
the spirit of Cairbre 2 loves peace and quiet.
There will be no war song over Caibre.

He said the children of Ullad were not accostomed to see Comlanns with mail and arms when the death cry was raised about the carn of a king.

They therfore disarmed, closed their cloaks and mrched thus to the carn at Ardeas.

Urla sang the death song composed by Fearcidn the File of Ardeas.

This was placed later amongh the writings of the bards in the library of Dunsoberce.

Fionn m Caibre was chosen king of Ullad.

The new king asked for reding of the Cronicles before they were publicly read and found some omissions one being the friendship and deeds of Mis and Glenadan.

Giolcad 550-541 BC

2008-07-20T06:11:00.001-07:00

Goolcad M Oiliol 550-541 BC

Giolcad m Oiliol M Siorna of the house of Iolar king of Gaalen became high king after Elim m Roiteasac of Iber died.

When the Assembly came in session Giolcad was seated on the throne of High King.

This was questionable as the son of Oilliol Olcaoim grandson of Siorna had not been elected.

Teinn now king of Ultonnmact wanted to know as they paid imperial taxes.

He asked why the chair of Gaalen was empty while Giolcad sat on the throne of
Errion?
Blath of Ullad requested Giolcad take his seat in the chair of Gaalen which he did.

Blath than nominated him to sit as Ard Rig.

He was confirmed by the assembly and went to Lia Fail.
No one followed him there.

When Ardrig returned Glas chief of Eudan Daire made Ardrig repeat the words regarding Elim as to examine his name on the roll of kings.

Than the Assembly ajourned and the portals closed.
The great feas was celebrated and the games.

When the Assemblly recommenced Fearmor of Cumar asked.
Why stands the name of Elim m Roiteasac on the roster of kings?
He was not elected by law nor the practice of election and it was asked that his name be struck from the roster of kings.

Anger rose as they considered on this.

Blath rose to speak for Elim saying even though he did not follow Tanasteac he paid his fine [eric] with his death adn that the law tract said nothing of specify usege.
Elim did not violate a law that did not exist.

He therefore asked that the name be kept in the roster for the year Elim had been, by his own usurpation, hi king of Errion.

He also asked that no member of the Assembly be prohibited from entering Teacmor no any hindrance to anyone on the way to Tabarta to demand his rights.

The Assembly rose and extended their hands to Blath of Ullad.

These words were written in the law tracts

Giolcad however was a haughty and shallow man and he made no great things in his 9 years reign.

He also thought the killing of Elim the son of Iber as a heroc deed.

His brother Nuad became King of Gaalen on his death in 541 BC.

Roiteasac m Roan m Noid 558-551 BC

Roiteasac M Roan m Noid of Mumain of the house of Iber was elected high king.

He was a skilled man in the arts of bronze and iron and knowledge of herbs and plants indiginious to Erin.

He invented a spinning wheel for flax.
He improved the sling by placing a leather thong in place of a rod.
He was a miner who tunneled the earth to extract iron and copper.
He enlarged the chariot for 3 or 4 horses
He invented truck wagons to haul heavyloads.

In the 7th year of reign when he left Teacmor for Mumain to inspect his mines and smelters and manufacturers in the south west of Erin overlooking the ocean a spark flew into his eye from one of the forges and after 3 days he died from the injury.

He was buried in the mountains between the river Iber and the Atlantic in a glen called after Glen of the Rath where his great carn was erected.

551-550 Bc

Elim Olfin m Roiteasac of Iber expected to be the next king both of Mumian and Errion.

However the princes of Mumain elected Roans son Failbe king of Mumain.
Elim was angry that his brother was elected over him.

He refused to comply with the practice of elections at Tabarta but kept the Teacmor portal closed.

He called to him the nobles of Mumain and some of Gaalen.

But Blat of Ullad remained in the tents on Tabarta.

Elim was therefore only proclaimed Ardrig by his followers with opposition and without the customary practice of Election.

Giolcad m Oilliol Olcaoin king of Gaalen observing Elim had not obtained the throne of Erin by lawful means commaned the heralds of Gaalen to proclaim the throne of Ardrig vacant.

the nobles than elected Giolcaid Ard Ri.
No Genreral Assembly was held nor the tracts of law or the Cronicles read.
Nor were the games or a feis held this year 558 BC.

Elim went to his brother Failbe m Roan king of Mumain to help him retaain the throne of Ireland.

Failbe assisted him against the allys of Ullad, Danaan and Firgneath and the Iolar Eagle to preserve Mumain.

The comlanns were marshaled round Giolcad who was at Tabarta.

Blath joined him and the combined army of Gaalen and Ullad set out for Mumain where Elim was.

Elim wanted to attack this army before they decended on him.

When the armys came in sight of each other the Ardring announced let no foot stand against Ardrig as he went to extinguish the revolt of Elim.

Elim strode mockingly towards his enemy and Gilcad, lean and tall ,answered him.

Elim was dispatched with the sword and Giolcad took the Eiason from his head and the royal robe and marched on his way.

Elims body was taken to Mumain and his carn was made but he was not morned.

Siorna 578-558 Bc of Gaalenn Iolar

2008-07-17T15:37:00.001-07:00

Siorna m Don m Roiteasac 578-558 BC

Siorna m Don m Roiteasac was king of Errion 20 years.

He was of the house of Gaalen a decendant of Iolar.

When the high chamber of Teacmor was opened Feilmid chif of Aoimag nominated Labrad for hi king.
Labrad decliened and chose to remain only king of Ullad.

Murcad a prince of Gaalen rose and propsed Siorna king of Gaalen be elected.

The assembly cried out the Oath! the Oath! but Labrad said 89 years had gone by since that oath was declared to elect only a prince of Er hi king.
He asked Who in this Assmbly was than living?
He declared that he felt an Oath was binding only on the person who swore to it.
He said if a prince of Er were not worthy why should not a prince of Iber or Iolar be elected.

Siorna was again proposed .
He ws 85 years old at the time.
Some laughed at his age but Siorna himself rose and declard himself to be decendant of Iolar the Eagle saying the eagle lives 300 years and hence he was still ayoung man.
[it is this 300 years so common in Irish mythology tales]

The young princes applauded and he was elected High King.

Siorna sat at Lia Fail.
the Ardcromfears placed the Eisaon on his brow and the royal robe on his shoulders.
The great feis was celebrated the games held.

Siorna exalted the cromfears and humbled the ollams.

These cromfears impressed the king that he had obtained his healthful old age from Baal as a gift which had been obtained for him by their intercession.

They also wanted an Iolar prince to be Ard rig forever
.
They also rumored about the land that Baal wished the people and princes to construct permanet houses for the servants of Baal as mystery chambes and repositories for gifts and offerings.

And so began the first famous churches of Ireland.

In Siornas 19th year as high king when an assembly was conviened at Teacmor during which Siorna addressed the Assembly regarding Baal and the cromfears.

He stated Baal ruled over the land the water and the air and held the secrets of the earth and as he ruled these as Diatim [infinte GOD] so he ruled the Gaal and the nations of the earth through the cromfears to whom he spoke and they to the people.

The Ardcromfear than declared Lia Fail belonged to Baal and the casting of lots revealed Baals mind.
And that the 9 cromfears having recieved the law of Baal needed to approve every law man passed on earth.

He proposed 9 cromfears from every kingdom sit in the high chambers of Teacmor to give counsel and vote by raising the hand.

Blath m Labrad objected saying ;

'O kings ,high princes and free children of Errion: if the words of the Ardcromfear repeated to us by Siorna the king be true than the cromfears are the rulers and princes over the earth, and the kings and princes are no better than the servants of the cromfir?
Indeed i have not canvased your inclinations nor ascertained your opinion! But for my own part I will affirm: that I am Blath the son of Labrad, the son of Cairbre, the son of Eocaid Ollam Fodla, from the line of Er the son of the Hero, that I sit as king on the regal chair of Ullad, that I have been elected king by the practice of Tanasteac, by the sufferage of the princes and nobles of Ullad in the presence of the children of the land!
It is a pity , for if the pretentions of the cromfear be true I should vacate the throne in favor of the wily servants of Baal.
By our heads are not words written on the tract of the laws of Errion saying:
Permit not a cromfear to enter Teacmor Tabarta forver.'

They on the end of this speach requested Siorna to speak but he had reclined his head and was asleep.

Oiliol m Aongus m Siorna his grandson went to cover his grandfather with his robe.

When Ard rig was awakened Blath said,

What if the law tract remain unchanged and the asssemby assented.
Yea so be it in single voice.

After this assembly was over Siorna died after he had been Ard Rig 20 years.

He would have been 105 years old by the calculation of his age when he was elected Ardrig and king of Gaalen before that.

The cromfears however said that Siorna had been killed by Baal for failure to fullfill the wishes of the cromfears.

Siorna had been king of Gaalen in the reign of Ardfear on the deth of Don in 611 BC.

He was the brother of Don.

There is a Siorna Saoglac listed as son of Don ho is also listed as father of Aongus and had a grandson Oiliolla Olcaoim father of Giocad who was than elected king of Gaalen in 558 BC.

The two Oilliols Bior'ngaal--Bior'n gneath 606-578 BC

2008-07-17T07:54:00.001-07:00

Oilliol Bior n gaal 606-594 BC

Oilliol Bior' n gaal [point of the gaal] m Ardfear m Eociad Ollam Fodla was elected high king over Oilioll m Eociad son of Oilliol Ollam Fodla.

Cairbre of Ullad crowned him and Scandt of Ultonnmact put the royal robe on his shoulders.
The customary games and feis were held the law tract read and the book of Cronicles.

Oilliol Bior'n gneath son of Eocaid m Ollam Fodla and Tatla had anger and emnity against the new Ardrig and he had ruled through Fiaca beforehand and had hoped to achieve the throne of Erin for himself.

These two Oilliols each had their own party of followers princes and nobles of Er and they disturbed the countryside with offences against each other.

Biorngneath tried to incite the Ullad Gaal to war and created allys among the princes who went often from one to the other.

Cairbre however was able to keep the Danaan and Firgnieth in peace.

Mumain under Niod remained uncomitted to either Oilliol prince but when he died and his son Iber was elected at the Mumain Bruiteine in 599 BC he took counsel with Siorna of Gaalen as he had married the daugter of Muredan m Siorna.

The sons of Er made a clamor for battle and this madea stronger appeal than the piping for peace.

In the 11th year of Biorngaal his rival prince Bior'ngneath of Eocaid m Eocaid OF went to Ultonnmact when Magn was king there,
Scandt had died.
There he formulated a treaty with Magn creating an alliance between them.
This treaty of alliance allowed Magn to march to Ullad if Biorngneath attacked Ullad and Cairbre with his host but if Biorngneath [Point of the neith] took the comlanns of Ullad out of their territory Magn would not march with him or against him.

Cairbre now old and broken heard of this organizing of the comlanns by Oilliol m Eocaid to give battle to Ard Rig Bior'n gaal[point of the gaal] and summoned Oilliol m Eocaid Biorngneath a prince of Ullad part Fodla into his presence.

He also sent for Ardfear [Arthur] his son and Feilmid chief ollam who wrote this record.

Cairbre besot Oilliol m Eocaid not to disturb the peace of Ullad but he percieved greed of rule and lust for power in Oilliol.

Biorngneath was determined to pour the blood of the Gaal for its possession.
And he Cairbre said to this errant prince,
'Can you in no way bridle the impetiousosity of your desire?'

He offered to abdicate his rule of Ullad if Oilliol would promise not to cause strife to Ullad or Errion.

Oilliol Swore.

Cairbre called for the Assembly of Ullad but when this came the Gaal in multitudes surrounded the Bruiteine fully armed.

Cairbre the king called for these to be stored in the armory and refused to speak before an armed force saying they came to consel not to organize comlanns.
They disarmed.

Cairbre was crowned and his royal robe placed on him and he was seated on his throne and a shout went out for the old king.

Caibre recalled Taneasteac practices of old saying it was not lawful for one to reign before he had reached the age of 25 years or one imperfect in any of his members or mentally defective.

He said he had lived 78 years and asked if the law should not grant ease to old age.

Cairbre announced he would like to appoint Oilliol m Eocaid m Eocaid OF surnamed Bior'n gneath.

This request was questioned by Dorloth chief of Aoimag as to whether this descision was of the kings own will.

The king however replied that it was old age probhibiting him from fullfilling his duties.

He said his decision ahd been sincere and voluntary.

This quited the question and Dorloth himself said
' What if Oilliol m Eocaid m Eocaid Of be chosen king of Ullad?' and it was so.

Cairbre than rose took the crown from his own head and placed it on Oilliols.

He took of his royal robe and placed it on Oilliols shoulders.
Took his hand and seated him on the thronee.

No shout of joy was heard from the Assembly of Ullad.
The great cheiftains gathered round Cairbe and showed him great honor.

Next morn he and his son Ardfear started from Dunsoberce to Mur n Ollam.
The feis was held the law tract of Ullad and the Cronnicles of Gaalad read and the Assmelby ajourned.

Oilliol now king spoke against Bior'ngaal.

He said he had spread injustice and desolation in Erin.
He said he the kign woudlb be found brave and worthy on the battle field.
The noise and reteric of war was heard throughtout Ullad and the drilling and ordering of the comlanns.

Oilliol neither remembered nor kept his promice and oath to Cairbre to keep peace in Ullad and which had acquire him the kingship of Ullad.

When Biorngall heard of this he asked Cairbe by letter
'What hast thow done? abdicating for that son of Tatla?'

Cairbre said 'Woe is me!' and became melancoly tarrying at Mur n Ollam and in 15 days he died after a reign of 21 years.

Before he died Cairbre had commanded his sons Labrad and Ardfear and Feilmid ArdOllam who wrote the record now to place his body with that of his father Ollam Fodla in the same carn.

The cromfears however said this would be desicration and canot be.
That the door of the sepulture could not be opened.

[note the opening of the sepulture of Christ by Angels and the amazement and fear of the guards and women]

The cromfears stirred up Ullad against this interment and when the entire people of Ullad marched with the body of Cairbre the sons, the chieftans of Iargaal and the Dundalgan,, Ollams tribunes of the people, poets, minstrels and the thousands of Gaal children of the soil came to the carn of Ollam Fodla they found the cromfears of Ullad surrounding it and and the Ardcromfear standing at the door of the tomb.
When Labrad demanded
'Who is it that hinders the dead on its way to internemtn?'
Ardcromfear replied
'his is the house of Baal.
The rock is laid and the door closed forever.
May desolation and distruction come on him who will open the tomb of the dead.'

However Adrfear defied this pronouncement saying he would open the tomb so Cairbre may lie beside his father.

the cromfear than turned their faces from the Gaal and Ardfear said to the cromfears statemenent that it was 'impossible'
'It is possible and it shall be so.'

The Gaal than murmered
'ho had given the cromfear the right to legislate for Ullad?'

The cromfears than went away and Cairbre was burined at the side of Eociad Ollam Fodla his faather.

Feilmid Ardollam sang his death song.
The bards played the sad music of the harps and the poets matrons and maidens chanted lamentations.

the Gaal bowed their heads and princes and nobles greived for Caibres death.

The Ardrig Oilliol Bior'ngall than summoned the king of Ullad Biorngneath to Teachmor Tabarta to answer why he disturbs the peace of Erin with his clamor for war.

Oilliol replied that he would not desist in his preparations.
He instead paid great court to the cromfears of Ullad inviting great mumbers of them to Dunsoberce too speak of battle and glory bestowed by Baal to heros and that this spirit of battle was a good spirit.

They spoke of the battle song now so long disused which glorified the warrior falling in the prime of his strength.
Claiming the new spirit of the heroic warrior renounded in arms flys like a young eagle proudly to the blessed dwelling of Baal.

The Ollams tried to counter the war reteric saying, '
Is the spirit of Eocaid Of and Cairbre smothered?'

They arounsed the poets and bards to sing of love betrothal and the chase and tales of ancient times and the harpers to play the songs to counter the clamour of heroic war.

They asked the cromfirs to teach peace beauty and widsom to the Gaal but the comfirs mocked them and refused to help saying the ollams scorned them in the sight of the people.

Meanwhiel the provincial kings of Mumain and Gaalen conseled Ard Ri Biorngall to place a heavy tax and tribute on Ultonnmact to counter the pride of the Danaaans.

This cousel Ardrig followed to his undoing and the anger and revenge of Ultonnmact provoked their armed comlanns and companies to march to Ullad.

Oilliol Borngnetrh callde Ullads nobles together claming the high king had shut them up in Ullad as a hugh prison.

War stalked the land.

He proposed to drive Ardrig past the river Eider that Siorna of Gaalen and Iber of Mumain would refuse any further aid to Ardrig.

Ardrig not succeeding in bringing either Oilliol of Ullad or Magn king of Ultonnmact to the Assemby to expain their war like behavoirs marshalled the comlanns of Munster and Gaalan aginst Dunsoberce.

Oiliol M Eocaid of Ullad bragged to his arrayed forces that his lion of Ullad and his wolves of Ultonnmact would cunch the bones of the shephards of Ard Rig.

Mumain and Gaalen however did not wholy back Ardrig hoping the sons ofIir would mutually distroy themselves.

The 2 forces came together at Maginse where aArdrig had camped awaiting the legions of Oir and Mumain.

When they were accosted the following morning by the confederated army of Ullad and Ultonnmact confrontational war was at hand.

The king of Ullad anounced his intentions that Con the war horse of Oilioll himself woudld carry its rider to Teacmor on Tabarta.

Ard Rig percieved the trachery bofore him and the slow response of the comlanns of Sirona and Iber.

Ardrig therefore took of his cloak cast it on the ground ,unbuckled his sword and threw it atop the royal robe.

He broke the scabbard in 2 and announced he in the tradition of his mighty race would stand in front of the fight with the crown on his head ready to answer the tracherous offsping of Tatla.

Oilliol tahn drove his battle charger in front of Ardrig.

When he saw Ardrig naked of sword or cloak he leaped from Conn opened his cloak threw away his scababard and sword and the two closed then in mortal combat.

The 2 fought bravely with swords and with shields till finaly Ardrig lost his guard and Oilliol m Eocaid gave him a thrust in the right side under his naval.

Ardrig fell and his intestines protruded.
Those near came to carry him to his tent but he told them let him brethe his last under the pure air.

He told Oilliol Eociad his killer if he were chosen Ardrig as he coveted he would havbe little peace and great pain.

He decired Siorna and Iber of betraying him disclamining the sons Of Iolar as less than the sons of Er m Cier m Gollam.

He had been Ardrig for 12 years.

his carn was construted at Maginis where he fell.

Maca the Ardollam of Errion chanted the death cry and Oilliol m Eocaid king of Ullad the battle song saying none but a noble or prince shoud sing for this king.

Erin mounred this prince as noble gentle and having exalted purpose.

Oilliol Bior'n gneath 594-578 BC

Oiliol Biro'gneith m Eocaid m Eociad Ollam Fodla grandson of Tatla of Fodla was high hink 16 years.

When the Assembly met to chose a new king Talt chief of Maglen nominated Siorna king of Gaalen for Ardrig.
Siorna was than 68 years of age yet desired the post.

Magg of Utonnmact rose sayng the practive of Tanasteac should uphold the resolution that only a prince in the line of Ir should becme Hi king as the oath was recorded in the Cronicles of Errion.
He said he would uphold the position held by his grandfatehr Merit and his father Scandt.

Since both Adrfear and Labrad were not able to serve as Ardrig, one because of age and the other needed in Ullad he thence nominated Oilliol m Eocaid king of Ullad.

Many held conferences on this proposal.
Some objections were raised against the old prejudice of Talta of Fodla his grandmother.

But the chief of Tanalta rose and defended Oiliol saying was not Eocaid Oilliols father and brother of Fionn from Talta as was Fiaca the son of Fionn.

All these great leaders and kings and were no olbstruction to Oilliol.

Oiliol was elected Ard Ri after that.

Cobta prince of Ith IbLugad crowned him and Magn of Ultonnmact put the royal robe on his shoulders.

He did not in the tradition of his dynast go to Lia Fail.

The great feis of Teacmor was held, the games celebrated 9 days in the campus field.
Ard Rig and the Assembly than met again .

The king put no questions before them but noted a reading from the law tract .

Having no business before the Assembly he asserted the 3 year meeting to extend the hand of friendship and to know each other and that the Gaal be as one in union.

He wanted the law tracts and the Cronicles read publicly to the people.

These and Tanasteac to be read on the 3rd day, Eolus and the Cronicles of Errion on the 4th day before ajournment.
All answered Yea so be it and it was so.

When the great Assembly was closed Oilliol dwelt in his pavilion on Tarbarta.

In the 4th division of Blath [4th week of April] Oilliol went to Dunsoberce and assembled the Bruitine of Ullad.
Feilmid the Ardollam was with him.

He felt sorry he had decieved Cairbre and killed Biorngall.

He challanged his own injustice aand misdeeds.

He beseached Feidmid to erase the words of the Cronicle of Ullad in which he decieved Cairbre to advance his own standing.

Feilmid however recalled the writing of Eolus were laid in the hands of Tarlath in Gaalag and Tarlath swore an oath to write everything good or bad and not record a false word on the scroll.

And he feilmid AArdollam was bound by this same old oath to record events as they happened in truth.

Feilmid however advised the king that when these troublesome deed were publicly read the king should acknowlege his fault and recieve their condenment.

He did so acknowleging his guilt and his shame.
The people accepted this and asked Baal to prosper every undertaking of the king.
The Assembly extended its hand.

Oilliol appointed Labrad m Cairbre viceroy of Ullad.
The air was filled with the cheers of the assembled chiefs and tribunes of Ullad.

At Dunsoberce a feis was celebrated games for 9 days.
After a month Oilliol set out for Tabarta.

As his progesses of Ullad ate up the peoples sustainance each year and the people dreaded this loss he confined himself to Dunsoberce and invited the chiefs, princes and nobles there rather than he going to their territorys.

At these meetings feasts were reqularly held, games, music, poetry, the chase, deer stalking,dancing and tales of ancient times.

Oilliol prized splended horses and was himself an excellent horseman.

He had kennes maintained in every chieftaincy in Erin to breed hounds and other fine dogs.

In Erin there was pece and prosperity.

In 578 BC Oilliol m Eocaidm Eocaid OF died.

His carn was raised at Cluanneic near the Dun.

A death cry was chanted but Oilliol himself commanded no war song should be sung.

This was for a time the last hi king of the sons of Er m Cier m Gollam since the days of the division of Erin by the Melesian princes of Gaalag and Asturia of Spain on the shores of the Bay of Biscay.

Labrad m Cairbre m Eocaid OF was chosen king of Ullad in 578 BC.

Ardfear and Fiaca 621-606 BC

2008-07-15T07:54:00.000-07:00

Ardfear M Ros m Eocaid OF- Ameril ingen Ros 626-614 BC

When Eocaid m Eociad died suddently the Ullad assembly elected Cairbre the youngest son of Eocaid Ollam Fodla m Fiaca rule of Ullad.

Couriers were sent out over Errion to summon the kings, princes, ollams, and tribunes of the people to the high chamber of Teacmor at Tabarta and the fires atop the Raiths blazed all over Erin.

When they had gathered Colba chief of Tanalta nominated Cairbre for the High kingship.

Cairbre declined saying he belonged to Ullad from his first breath and it was his first love for his soul dwelt in Ullad and he was content to rule there.

The members were disapointed and urged him to accept but he said he was content to live his days in Ullad.

Ceas king of Mumain than rose and nominated Ardfear m Eocaid OF son of Ameril ingen of Ros prince of Ullad.

He was unanimously elected Ard Rig.

He did not go to the Lia Fail and Ceas placed the Eisaon on his brow.

Don of Gallen however would not place the royal robe on Ardfear [Arthur] shoulders an the advise of the cromfear as he was loyal to the druids and Lia Fail.

Noid the brother of Ceas therfore put the robe about Ardfear.

A feis was held and games on the great field in the plain of Tara for 9 days after which athe Assembly sat.
The law tracts read and the Cronicles of Errion.
After it was asked:
'Stands anyone on Tabarta demanding justice?'
No voice replied.
The Assembly ajourned and its high portals closed as custom dictated.

Ardfear was peaceful and after 2 years Ceas of Mumain died.
He had been king of Munster for 27 years.
His brother Noid was elected king.

In the 3rd year of Ardfears reign 623 BC Don of Gaalen died and his brother Siorna was elected king of Gaalen.

In his 7th year Ardrig called an Asseembly at Tabarta to announce that Erin was at peace and so the 3rd year gathering of all at the Teacmor should be continued as before to foster the aquaintance of all the tribes with one another to keep Erin free and peaceful and to encourage their friendship .

He also announced his desire to make a Progress of all Ireland with both Iber and Ultonnmact and any princes who desired to come.
Yea so be it cried the Assembly of representatives.

This Progress would begin at Tabarta in Tonnscand [March] and from thence westward to Gaalen with Cairbre and Scandt and Siorna all going then to Mumain and the tents of Noid.

He said the time was to short from which the children abided together and hnece they were not well acquainted.

Afterwards the great feast of Teacmor and more games held.

Than the law tract read and the Cronicles of Errion.
When no voice answered the query:
Stands anyone on Tabarta demanding justice?'

the mighty host dispersed to their own dwellings.

In March Cairbre of Ullad, Scandt of Ultonnmach, Ardfear Ermoin assembled at Tabarta with their escorts.

They marched hence to Gaalen where they tarried the rest of the month with Siorna.
They allowed audinece to anyone there and were dexterious in all things.

They than set out for the tents of Mumain with a great multitude of young men whom were learning as they went from these rulers.

They tarried in Mumain a month Blath [April] and than went on with Noid to Ultonnmact where they were met with a great feast and a great gathering of the Danaan from every divison camped round the medows and grassy plains of Cruacan the royal palcae of Scandt.

All were happy.

After sojourn there they went on to Ullad and spending a month June at Dunsoberce where the Progress was disbanded each to his own dwelling.

This Progress took a quarter [90 days] and a division[30 days], 4 months March-June, and the profits of it in lessons, friendships and althletic feats were sung and written in the RANNS by the Poets [File].

During Ardfears reign the Ardcromfear came into the presence of Cairbre m Eocaid Ollam Fodla king of Ullad complaining that the king did not invite them as he did the ollams and minstrels and poets and curide binn t aos[Sowing ideas end or melodious it is young peole{young people sowing melodious ideas}].

Caibre answered;
Had the Comfears any new science or disvoery for his ears or anything desirious for his heart?
Any recent news or ancient legend that was unknown?

Ardcromfear asserted their selection by Baal as holding the mysterys of Baal foverand mubled over these mysterys with the 9 cromfears.

The king however said did not the cromfears instuct the children of the soil in these mysterys and they therfore know them.

Ardcromfear said that those who did not submit to the mystery of Baal as known and instucted by the cromfears angered Baal to which the king replied:
'That is not wisdon. wisdom is the knoledge of truth.'

He dismissed the cromfears saying he rememberd his father Ollam Fodla say the comfears asserted ignorant things and he believed his father as a truthful tongue.

Cairbre was 10 years old when Ollam Fodla died in 663 BC.

He said if the childen of Erin did not know wisdom ,curbing desires and good from the cromfears they could be instructed by the ollams.

After Ardfear had been Ard Ri for 12 years he went to the tents of Arddeas for a visit.

On his return to Tabarta on the high road he brought with him Oliioll m Eocaid M Eocoad OF and the sons of Ceanad chief of Ardtan.

When they arrived at the Buidaman [Boyne] darkness began and they crossed the river in the darkness.

Ardrid missed the ford and the river current swept his horse under and they wer drowned.

All night they searched the river for his body at at first lite it was found among a growth of willows overhanging the banks.

He was carried toTabarta and his carn built on the east side of the hill.

He died in 614 BC

Fiaca m Fion m Eocaid OF 614-606 BC

Fiaca M Fionn M Eocaid OF was elected at Tabarta to be Ardrig as his predicessors he too was not crowed at Lia Fail.

Mumain king crowed him and Gaalen put his royal robe on him.
Great feas was held and games.
These games lasted 27 days.
After 29 days the Assembly sat again.

The law tract was read and the Cronicles of Errion.

No questions were laid before the Assembly by the king and the gates of Teacmor were closed.

Fiaca was weak in body but his mind wss noble and he walked in the footsteps of his dynasty.

He held young Oilliol son of Eocaid m Eocaid OF in great esteem and let him make decisions of rule even though he was not of age.

Thus he proceeded in peace for 8 years when he died of his internal weakness consumption. [TB]

His carn is on the banks of the Buideaman River [Boyne].

The sons of Tatla 663-626 BC

2008-07-13T12:41:00.000-07:00

Fionn m Eocaid Ollam Fodla 663-643 BC

Fion m Eocaid Ollam Fodla was elected by the Assembly at Soberce king of Ullad.
He was king 20 years.

At the time Feargais has been regent of Ullad with help from Cobta chief of Tanalta who was old and sick.

Ros was guarding Tabarta.

After Fionn had been elected to Ullads kingship they proceeded in October[Tirim] with an entourage to Tabarta.
When they arrived the Herolds proclaimed an opening of the General Assembly of Errion and Fionn, nomindated by Iber of Mumain was elected Ard Ri by hand acclimation.

He refused to sit at Lia Fail and was given the royal robe and Aison from the hand of his brothers Iber king of Mumain and Aongias king of Gaalen.

He was than lead by these two provincial kings and Meirt of Ultonnmact to his throne.

Fionn ordered an inquiry into the cause of death of his illustrious father Eocaid.

The great Feis of Tara was held and the games.

When the cromfears appeared 15 days later the gates of Teacmor were again opened.

Doil the chief judge read the inditment against them regarding the death of Eocaid.

After 9 days an inquiry was held and the chamberlainn of Eocaid, Doncan was called to give testimony than the kings doctor Tahan as to the bed robe and its condition.

The Ardcromfear denied the charge that the robe was tainted by him.

The Ard cromfear testified that he had sent the sea otter robe to the king and instructed the cromfears of his messge and that he had told his men not to tell the king where they had come from.
He claimed the robe had 'gathered moisture' on the trip and he was not responsible for this or any evil intent.

He refused to take responsibility for the cromfears and said they should defend themselves.

The cromfears deliverd no defence beyond that of their chief.
These words were accepted as defence by the Assembly and the cause removed and the comfears allowed to go free.

Searna a prince of Er was appointed regent of Ullad and Fionn went every year to Dunsoberce as his father before him had done.

The Assembly continued to meet every 3rd year during the reign of Fionn.

During Fionns reign Iber of Mumain died in 651 BC and his throne was given to his son Ceas.

In 640 BC Aongais of Gaalen died and his son Don[ Dian] was made king.

AFter a 20 year reign Fionn died in 643 BC.

In his reign no new laws were created.

The law tracts of Ollam Fodla regulated and ruled the land and the Gaal.

Eocaid m Eocaid Ollam Fodla 643BC-626 BC

After the death of Fionn in 643 BC his borother Eocaid m Eocaid son of Tatla was elected king of Ullaid.
Both Fionn and Eociad were the childen of Tatla the Firgneath princess.

When the general Assembly at Teachmor was convened Don of Gaalen rose speaking to challange the ruling to elect the sons of Ir only as kings of Errion.
He said such an oath was void and taken only the the partizans of Ollam Fodla.
He delcared they would not follow this oath as they were not present when it was taken nor did they raise the right hand of consent to it.

He proposed himself as a candidate for the high kingship with just as much right as the children of Er.

Scandt m Meirt of Ulltonmact however rose and proposed the nomination of Eocaid m Eocaid OF to keep the pledge to elect only Iranian sons as high kings.

The princes voted by a show of hands.

All the Gaalen princes and 7 Mumain princes for Don.

For Eocaid all the princes of Ullad and 11 Mumain with Lorc of Ib Lugaid and Scant of Ultonnmact giving Eocaid the majority votes.

A total 'block vote' casting.

He did not sit on Lia Fail and Ceas king of Mumain put the royal mantle on his shoulders.

The king discontinued Ollam Fodla and Fions policy of returning to Dun Soberce but placed his half brother Ardfear of OF and Amarid daugher of Ros as his regent in Ullad.

Eocaid m Eocaid Ardrig gave great care and attention to the breeding of horses.
He himslef was great horseman.

His investigations were effective and profitable and he was able to breed calvary horses of strength and size and horses light and speedy for racing and chariots.

He established schools to teach breeding knowlege as a science.

After 17 years of rule Eocaid dropped dead at Maginse while proceding to Dunsoberce.

He fell sudedenly from his horse the arteries of his neck swelled and his veins stood out like ropes.
His face turned purple .

This blood clot restricted the blood from flowing back into his body from his head causing this massive occlusion.

The king was buried at Maginnse where his towering carn is still visable.

This death occured in 626 BC.

Eocaid Ollam Fodla part 2

2008-07-12T07:56:00.001-07:00

eocaid pg 5

From this session and his desire to uphold the mur n ollam and from his union with Tatla Ardrig acquired the handle Eocaid Ollam Fodla the king professor of Fodla the Firgneith.
Ardrig so remained at Tabarta and Teacmor till April 696 or so when he returned to Dunsoberce in Blath {april].

In that time Ceas of mumain died.

The respective heirs to this post were Roain son o Ceas and Failbe.

Roiteacac king of Gaalen was backing Roain for the kingship and armed men were massing to accomplish this.
Failbe remained peaceful.

Although the impending confrontation to take the throne of mumain by war Ermoin reflected that neither party had appealed to him and that no practice of Tanistry gave him any sy as to who was elected in anoter kingsdom.

While he was applying this logic of states rights Failbe sent messengers advising of the gathering of the awarriors of Mumain and Gaalen to seize the throne for Roain.
He said he himslef would not seize it by violence.

Failbe asked the king to talk with Roiteasac and pursuade him to allow Mumain to elect thier own king without the assistance of warriors armed.

Eocaid went first to Tabarta than to the Bruiteine of Gaalen where he conferred with Roiteasac who said his comlanns of 3000 soldiers each would not march out of Gaalen.

He than wrote to Mumain asking the princes to honor Tanasteac and suggested that he Eocaid would resign his post as Ermoin if it would assure the peace of Errion.
He advised that Roiteasac had given his world not to interfere or march his warriors to Mumain and asked them to observe the law of Tanasteac.

Eocaid continued to swell at Teacmor building 3 more great halls and 3 smaller buildings attached to Teacmor.
This made about 5 structures on the Bruiteine.

E
ocaid when he returned to Ullad learned from his regent Feargais that the cromfears had abused the right of their carnac who they sent out to collect offerings for Baal and than insted of allowing the carnac sustainence from the collections took it for themselves along with the division of land under Tanistry.

Hence the cromfears lived in luxury and comfort and coverted with nobliity and chiefs while the carnacs lived in povery along with the common Gaal who had provided the offerings always demanded by the cromfears.

Eocaid convened an assembly in Ullad and accosted the Ardcromear with their shameful abuse.
However the Ardcromfear said Baal was not subject to the laws of the Assembly and did not need to answer to it or the king.

Eocaid accepted this for now but left for Dunsoberce without cromfear of carnac.

Later he reconveined the Assembly again accosting the Ardcromfer with their mistreatment of the carnac and additionally depleating the resourses of the common Gaal who they constantly demanded contributions from.

This time although he conceeded the Assembly had no authority over the cromfears and Baal .
He alloted them more division of land that they could support the carnac and relieve the people of giving them contributions.
He denied them authority to collect tribute from the people and the Assembly said Yea Yea So be it.

Ermoin defeated the Bruitan with giving to cromfear and carnac who were much shamed by the public awarness of their abuse and the loss of the ability to demand contribution.

Like Tigernac of Gaalen in years past he upheld truth and justice over the greed and averise of the religious orders.

The division of seating for the cheifs and nobles was thus:

2 chieftains one of Oir and the other of Ailib fought over which should have place next the king.
One was killed by the other over the question which was hence put to Ermoin as to how these seats shoudl be distributed.

Eocaid advised that all the chiefs of Errion were equal to each other in descent and hence none were more privledged than another.

He advised the cloth should be laid on the floor of Teacmor and the dice cast every man accepting his allotted position and giving that positon to that chief forever and his decendants.

When this word was spread about, Eacon the Ardcromfer came to the king saying the casting of dice belongerd to Baal and therefore they should decide not the Assembly or the people beacuse LIA FAIL had been given the Gaalag by Ball and brought to Erroion where the Danaan had cast dice under it.

Eacaon proposed Lia Fail be brought to the Bruinteine and lots be cast by the cromfears and a collection of an offering to Baal.
Eocaid only agreed to bring this proposal to the Assembly next day which he did.

The assembly however expected the Ermoin to decide this queston not themselves.

Eocaid therefore explained his thinking saying the harp belonged to the Bards, the poem and conclan to the File, philosophy and education tothe Ollams and law making to the people.

He defined the office of judge being to read the law publicly, the office of king to execute the laws, the office of cromfear to attnd to Re [moon] to show the seasons and tides and time to observe the stars [Tarsnasc], to guard the sacred fire and to lite the rath fires.

He than asked what has Baal to do with the casting of dice?

He said that when the kings princes chieftains ollams and tribunes of the people assembled to legislate they did not to have the a judge or cromfear present.

Why? he asked

He concluded that no cromfear be allowed to enter Teacmor forever.

The Assembly confirmed this judgement.
The cloth was spread.
the dice cast.
Each member got his seat.

Eocaid said what if each chieftans shield be hung o the wall of each chietains sit beneith his shield
So it as ordered.

This practice arrived at by the dice lot was recorded and written in the Tanasteac.

But the cromfears resolution was a first record of separation of church and state recorded and written in the law tract.

eocaid pg 6

At this time world came from DunSoberce saying Eocaids wife Tatla was ill and requested his presence.

Hence the books were read the assembly closed and Eocaid departed to Dunsoberce while the rest went on to the Field of Games in their thousands.

After 6 days Tatla died.

Word was sent to her brothers in Geintir asking if she should be intered in Ullad or elsewere.

A great host came and they carried her to Geinter.
Children of Ullad acompanied the Firgneath.

Many gifts of cloth linen ,buckles and brooches of gold and belts were sent to Tatlas mother Tata.
Herds of cattle and flocks of sheep and horse also sent by the kings steward.

Eocaid morned the loss of this wife of his heart.
He returned to Teacmor and was joined for 2 months by Failbe king of Mumain.

In 691 BC the 12th year of the reign as Eocaid Ollam Fodla the chiefts assembled at Teacmor Tabarta and sat each one under their sheilds.

In this year Eocaid asked the Assembly for an apportion of land for the sustenance of the Ollams and their students that they should not be left beggars in poverty or in need of trafficking and selling their words and thoughs to survive.

The Assmembly agreed and apportions were made for the bards and file and the ollams and their students.

This resolution was recorded and written in the Tanasteac.

This Assembly of this year was held in Fiucim [November] and the games in Geimrad [december].
These went on through Sneacda [Dec and Jan] the 13 th month of the moon.

This was done in memory of Queen Tatla.

In Siocan [January proper] Teacmor was reopened and the law tract read and the book of Cronicles of Errion.

Stands anyone on Tabarta demanding justice?
No voice answered.

The Assembly ajourned and the gates of Teacmor were shut.

After this time the king of Mumain was at Dunsoberic with Eocaid seeking knowledge.

In August he went home to Mumain and the Ullad calvary chiefs and princes escorted him to the Eidu river.
He was given 4 white steeds by the king.

At this time Roiteasac king of Gaalen and the cromfears were opposed to Eocaid.

Eoccaid sent a deligation to the king Magn of Ultonmact by Ros as he desired to visit Mogn.
Ross gave Magn a fine robe enlaid with gems and embroderied cloth ,2 war horses and 2 fine bread dogs of the line of Ainleog and Scioth.

He also gave Magn the copy of the writings of Eolus and the cronicles of Gaalag but not the Cronicles of Errion as this would bring to mind there defeat by Iber Sciot.

Eocaid went forth from Dunsoberce to Ultonnmact with no military escort only 6 companions with closed clocks as a sign of peace.
He spent 7 days with Magn.
Magn requested that thier words should not be rcorded and Eocaid complied.

In his 20th year as king 683BC a deputation from Danaan appeared at the Assembly bringing swords belted to their shoulders and spears in their left hand.

Eocaid required them to leave the arms outside and to be seated amongst the prices of Ullad before he would hear their claim.

Soarlam their leader then spoke asking to be included in the deliberations of Errion.
There was heated debate with objection of Gaalens Roiteasac Mor of Cumar and Maoil chief of Ib Dronag who considered the Danaan serfs and unequal and of a different race.

Aongus in mockery continied the proposal by Coblac of Ib Lugaid to seat some chieftans behind the throne by saying
'Let Magn than sit on the throne of Ullad.'

Eocaid however seeing the majority in favor of seating a delegation of 8 from Danaan behind the throne where they had the right to speak and question.
This was decreed and written in the book of Cronicles of Errion.
Howver Magn died and this event did not take place.

Ultonnmact fell into struggle for the seccession between Magns brothers Meirt, Form and Gost.
Meirt junior the son of Meirt ws chosen king.

At this time Eocaid remarried a daughter of Ros , Ameril.

Eocaid lived than at Dun Soberce making a royal progress of Ullad and gave silver money for his expenses.
this was around 680-681.

In this year an old man Torad appeared on the Bruiteine and when the call went out asking stands anyone on the Bruiteine of Ullad demanding justice Torad of Magneac Gaiel answered.

He was a very old man and indicated Seal the judge of Magneac had read judgment against him without his knowlege and presence and he demanded a judgment against Seal.

However Eocaid was a stickler for any accused to be present and to make his own defence..

He therefore postphoned any further judgment or hearing of Torads claim until Seal could be physiclly present.
Eocaid indicated that this was not a light affair and kept the Assembly at dunsoberce till Seal came.
When Seal appeared Torad was allowd to repeat his charge.
Seal admitted his quilt.

Eocaid therfore asked forgiveness and mercy for Seal as he had admitted his guilt.
Torad told of his loss of 2 ewes and a measure of flour.

Eocaid ordered a rehearing of the case in Magneac by the chieftains there.
He indicated a judge should be unseated as a judge fo transgesssions the Assmebly conncurred saying Yea Be it so.

These practices of physical presence in a court of law by all parties defendant and accuser and sufficnet notification continues today in both American and British jurisprudence denying conviction s in abstencia to either party.

These amendments were written into the roll of the law.

Later Failbe king of Mumain and chara of the king became ill.
Eocaid set out with Blath m Ardfear and Neartan the Ardollam to see Failbe.

But Falible died after 10 days from fever under Eocaids care.
He hasd been king 14 years.

Eocadi stayed till he had been put in the carn of his sepulture.

Eocaid sang his deth song as none the princes of Mumain came being jelous and rivals for the throne of Mumain.

The door was sealed and a flag placed before it.

He than went to Teacmor on Tabarta.
Iber m Ruid was elected king of Mumain.
He than married Mina daughter of Roiteasac of Gaalen allys against Eocaid.

Meirt of Ulltonnmact also harbored resentment againsT Eocaid Ollam Fodla.
Storm clouds gathered over Errion because of this.

Eocaid was aware of the hostility of Gaalen and Munster and to his mur n ollam policys.

He dreamed of relieving the ignorance of the youth of Ireland with his universities throughtout the land.

Iber king of Mummain in a state of drunkeness from wine began to speak of battle and the glory of the warrior.
He kept trying to create a feeling too war against the Danaan but Eocaid said
'Why should the Gaal Sciot go to war?'

When the discussion came to the education of the youth of the kingdoms of Mumain and Gaalen and the new style of living in permanent houses as opposed to the battle tents and pavilions of their ancestors and fathers Iber decried against the existing universities and declared the spirit of youth was extingushed by the ollams and confined to their schools.

Eocaid replied that man alone of all living creatures draws beefit from the wisdom of the ancestors.
'Can anyone believe ignorance is preferable to wisdom?'

Because of the defence Roiteasac, Iber and Meirt fell silent and retained their hostility to Ardrig.

The Assemlby was ajourned after the usual reading of the law tracts and the Cronicles and the great oak gates of Teacmor wer closed.

Ardrig remained on Tabarta.

In thise days each kingdom retained its own skilled and trained comlanns.
Eocaid inspected this army of Ullad how their bow was cast how their spear and javalinwere leaveled.
Ther formation and tac of each company under each chieftain.
These princely inspections went on as well in the other kingdoms. Mumain, Gaalen and Ultonnmact.

At this year gossip had it that the friendship of Iber of Mumain and Meirt king of Ultonmact was hatching a plot between them to overthrow Eocaids rule at the next Assembly of Tabarta in April and place Iber on the throne by force of arms.

Eocaid although he continued to unravel these informtions and plots with his intellegence staff he neverthe less prepared the comlanns of Ullad in daily drilling as if on active service.

He changed the postion of the comlanns placing Ullads princes in the forefront of battle position as a body guard to their king making each chietain the cean collan [head soilder] of his own troops and each tribune of the people the captian of his own tribal company.

When these forces were well honed Eocaid prepared a feas at Tabarta with customary games.
He than called the Assembly to order.
Had Maol speak of the plots they had heard of againt Iber and Meirt.

Iber was angy at this accusation and denied the inditment.
However the cause was heard with Suil as judge..

Ardrig took the royal robe from his shoulders removed the Asian from his head and retired to his pavillion removing himself from judging the cause of his won case.

A principle still upheld in modern law.

Their case was made against th accused the Assemby brougth Ardrig back from his pvillion and placed him on his throne.

Suil read the testimony of Meirt and Iber which incriminated them.

Roitersac was asked his opinion but gave none.

The chief of Artain Miolis asked that Ibers reign of Mumain be terminated and the Danaan rent and tribute be tripled and they be kept west of Shannon forever.

The
Assembly demanded Ardrig s opinion.
He rendered a judgement of forgiveness saying it would be good if Ibers words be 'scattered to the winds'.

He than decended from his throne and asked the Assembly to chose whomever they wanted as king seating himself in the chair of king of Ullad after giving the hand of friendship to Iber who reacted by having tears in his eyes at the magnaminity of his king in forgiving him and retaining his kinship of Mumain.

Iber and Roiteasac immediatly took the hands of Eocaid with Meirt of Ultonnmact and escorted the king back to the high kings throne.

Iber said long live the son of Fiaca of Ir as Ardrig for the glory of Errion and the benefit of the Gaal to which the whole Assembly rose bowed to Eocaid.

The Assembly was terminated anthegreat portal of the high chamber Teacmor were closed.
Peace and contentment reigned over Errion.

Shortly 9 nobles of the Feine [Phonecians] came to Tabarta seeking audience with the king.
They entered in silk and gems and gold and Saorcon spoke for them.

They acclained the fame of Eocaid Ollam Fodla inthe world where they were welcome in evry countyr including Egypt which was closed to all the world but them.
They came to break bread with their co king of the Gaal Sciat Iber Naoimadeis Ogalgeis.

They broght with them crowns of gold, wide blade swords fittered with gold hilt, tripods of gold ,gems, silks ,purple cloth arms ,steel ,armour coats, red gold helmets, tools and other trappings.

Bronnbase asked leave of the Ardrig to display these wares and particilpate in the game and so it was.

The country prospered there was provision and abundance for all.
The harvest was plentiful. The fields yellow with oats barley and wheat.
The pastures full of cattle and sheep.
The forest stately and old full of nuts .
The blue mountain heather filled with roe deer.

Fionn m Cumail first child of Eocaid and Tatla of Fodla Geintir came of age and was elected king of Ullad.
This prince was stately, gentle, blond and fair for wence he was named Fion.

His father had instruted him well as to his conduct and to beware of intoxicating liqour that degredes the body and is enemy to the intellect.

He advised him always to follow the law tract for any cause,
to be merciful and uphold justice,
to honor the schools and restrain the cromfears,
to uphold a jury for the accused to protect the people as his flock as a shepard and never as a ravening wolf.

Fionn feasted 9 days at Soberce.
Eocaid returned to Tabarta and continued to uphold and promote the mur n ollams.

He continued to resit the Gaalen hope that the cromfears would have an equal place in the Assembly.

Ardrig wanted no contol of the affairs of state by the followers of Baal.

He allotted them their rightful place as keepers of the sacred fire to guide the traveler ,to show the tides and seasons of the year.

He maintained the law tracts and proceedings of the Assmebly were the province of man not gods.
All these words were wrttin in the Croncales of Errion.

Iber meanwhile took up with Fion [Finn] for Dunsoberce where his eye fell on Eocaids beautifu daughter whom he soon married and took her to Mumain as his Queen.

Roiteasac died after 33 years as king of Gaalen around 670BC.

He died of colic after eating to much bees honey before a remedy of thisles could be made for him.

His son Aongus was elected king of Gaalen.

He married Dearbael daughter of Feargais prince o Ullad and regent for Eocaid.

Eocaid continued this peaceful and healthful rule riding to the chase in peaceful Erin, opening and closing the great Assembly on Tabarta,

dispersing justice and truthful rule.

Eocaid was able when confronted by Tanastic error in not giving an equal share to a widow with children as as widow without children ajusted the law with the Assemby giving a widow land for herself and her children from her deceased husbands estate.
He ajusted the division of land to be in Tionnscand [March] every 4th year.
Yea so be it responded the Assembly.

He asked the whole tribe to watch out for the care of orphans who had not the care of their mother or the strength of the father and amended Tanasteac to do so.

Tanastac practice would be equal to what we now refer to as common law Those precidents and practices arrived at over time by useage and ajustment.

The Gaal dwelt in peace and happiness.

eocaid pg 8

In 671 BC Eocaid had ruled 32 years.

It was proposed that a hereditary monarch to Ir princes be established.

However Eocaid said if that was what they decided the pratice of Tanasteac must still be upheld whre all the tribes and kings had equal rights to be candidates and elected by the kings, princes ,chieftains, ollams and tribunes of the people as they had done since the beginning.

The Assembly did elect by a plurality of hands to give the kingship in perpeturity to the sons of Ir and on this swore by Baal, Re and Tarsnac [stars] facing east.

After 40 years Eocaid was greeted as he toured the Mur n ollam. Multitudes of youth and maidens in white singing and honoring him.

Gaalen wanted him to view their horse race at the Curragh [race track] near the Buideaman [Boyne}.
One of the riders went into the river and the youth was drowed.
Cailt m Deag the poet laureate of Ireland.

When his love one of teh maidens heard of it she threw herself in the river and was found dead with Cailt.

Eocaid stayed for the wake and funeral at murn ollam and these were buried in the same carn.

Dutana was the maidens name.

The elegy was preserved inthe writing of the Bards the Danta at the Mur n Ollam.

Since the funderal delayed his return to Ullad on July 1 the cromfers saw this as an omen from Baal that the king should not again return to Teacmor Tabarta.

Eocaid was joyous that learning and prosperity was over Erin and said the gaal would always dwell in peace and prosperity if the kings nobles and princes were wise and learned.

While he was at Dunsoberce 2 cromfears of Gallan came for a day.

after they left 2 days later Eocaid was stricken with sickness, pain in the head and back ,shooting pain in the bones getting worse hour by hour.

The royal physician found from the chamerlain that the 2 cromfears had given a robe for the kings couch asking them to place this trapping on the kings couch to honor Eocaid.

When these pelts were examined it was found to be soaked in juices.
The pelt was a sea animal- probably seal.
When it was dried it gave of a sour oder and steam.

Taltan the royal physitian ordered a hot bath in sea water.
After he was thus bathed and dried he was folded in hot wool before a great fire.

However the skin of the king remained hot and dry with no sweat.
They knew he would die.

Eocaid called for his 2 sons Eocaid and Fionn and sent for his ollams Neartan and Cairbre.
By the time they arrived Ardri was unable to turn his head and body.
Taltan placed him on his side.

He reviewed his kingship and his labors saying that when he became Ard Rig law was in contempt throughout Errion.

Tumults and plots and insurections were being hatched among the nobles.

Armed comlanns were sent out on missions of slaughter and oppression.

The Danaan hated the Melesians of Iberai
the Firgneath had no love for them.

Now all through the place law ruled and was kept.
The land was rich in crops and produce, the Gaal numerous.

He made no pronouncement against the cromfear except that they were enemies of Eocaid.

He had stood against their mysterious rule and not accepted their falsehood.
He reviewed his accomlpishments;
Self rule, disapline, knowlege and control of intellect and desire, to be just.
He asked the ollams be allowed to come to him from Mur n Ollam.

While the students wer left thus thy captured 5 cromfears and dragged them before the dying king.
these they desired to throw into the sea.

However Eocaid allowing his pain sat up on his couch and forbad retributiion in his last days.

'Are my labors overthrownn so soon?'

He demanded the law be upheld. A trial a jury a sentance by a judge.

He resqued the cromfears from injustice sent home both youth and priest.

The nobles of Ullad and Gaal gathered at Dunsoberce.

Eocaid had his body carried forth ffrom his chamber to be amidst his people.

His 4 sons Fionn, Eocaid, Ardfear, Caibre carried him out.

The people let out a great lamentation which echoed back from the glens and crags and the waves of the sea.

He stood and he spoke to his people.
He declared all equal before the law and the law superior to all.

He advised the ollam to continue instructing the youth of Erin in truth and justice.
He challenged the Gaal to love Danaan and not haughtly rule over them or the Firgneath.

Cromfear came into their midst to commend his spirit to Baal and heaven but Eocaid said he did not believe thay had power to send his spirt to Heaven and instructed them to tend to their fires and protect the freindless stranger.

He confessed sorrow for the death of Niod and that he had accepted the crown from the hand of the Ardcromfear.

He asked his story be written in the Cronicles..

After 6 days thus the king died.
He ws 68 years old and had been Ardrig for 36 years King of Ullad 40 years.

He was borne by chiefs of Iargall, Larne , Ardtan and Duncalgen.

The free sons of Ullad marched before the beir
His 4 sons behind.
The princes of Ir ,women and maidens, ollams ,judges, tribune and last the great thousands o f GAal.

The death song was sung by torchlite.

The lamentations were continued.
Multitudes guarded the carn all night.

At dawn when Baal spread his rays all turned their bowed heads eastward and Neartan sang out the final

'Eocaid m Fiaca of Er son of Cier hero king of Ullad and Ardrig of Errion now sheltered in the house of darkness and the couch of unending sleep.'

The multitudes went their way and so was silenced to ear and sight the silver tongue of Eocaid Ollam Fodla in the year 663 BC.

Eocaid Ollam Fodla 703BC-663BC part 1

Eocaid Ollam Fodla 703-663 BC

Eocaid Ollam Fodla m
Fiaca m Sedna m Ardfear m Eolus m Eocaid of Ir became king of Ullad.

Eocid was popular among his peers a good listener to the ollams and proficient and expert in arms and war tactics.

He excelled in sport and the chase.

Marcac the old Ardollam died and was replaced by is son Neartan.

However Marcac of Mumna spread a rumor that Fiaca had been responsible for tehe drowing of his father Sedna m Ardfear.

This rumor was futher discussed by Noid the son of Marcac of Mumain.

Eocaid wrote to Noid telling him tht they could not exist togetehr on earth if Niod did not either prove his charge or retract it.

Noid refused saying he would not give up his freedom of speech to Ullad and what he had said he had said.

Eocaid had these words and his own read to the people in assmebly.

As soon as these words were heard by the chieftains of the Gaal they rose demanding vengance on Noid King of Mumain for his accusation.

An army was formed and marched south to river Buidaman [Boyne].
They crossed this and marched to the Sior River where the camped.

Eocaid sent his herald to Niod saying:

'Eocaid the king stands on the soil of Mumain to hear the assertions of Noid in the presence of the armed host of Ullad.'
This was in the month of Meas [August].
Noid said his host was scattered and asked for a peace.

Eocaid replied he could wait until Cruinnugad [September] for Noid to mass his troops.
Noid therefore sent post riders to gather his army.

At the end of Cruinnugad they came in leigions over the mountain to the plain.

Next day the battle trumpets sounded at dawn.
Noid wanted to keep Eocaids force from crossing the Sior river but Eocaid had spent his wait wisely creating a ford by putting large rocks to the bottom of this river and small stones atop creating a causway 300 ft wide below the surface of this deep water that it could not be seen as the river water passed over the passageway.

When the northern leigion were seen crossing the Soir River they fell back from their shore to Tuam leac Mor where was the carn of Eocaid m Conmaol who had fallen from his horse and drowned.
This place had been chosen for the pavillion of Noid the king.

At midday the armys confronted each other and fought till dark.
Word was brought to Eocaid that night that Noid had fallen.

He rose from his couch saying;
'As the spirit of Noid is quenched so let the anger of Eocaid be quenched fovever.'
The trumpets announced a cessation of the war.

In the morning chieftains were sent requesting an end to hostilities.

Noid was given a wake and the death cry sung by the women and minstrels.

Eocaid said none but a chieftain shall sing the battle song.

The harpers of Mumain played music so sweet that the men of Ullad were spell bound.

Eocaid himself narraated the battle song telling of Marcac Ebers care of Er m Cier the child as they explored the land.
He narrated the slander of the name of Fiaca his fatehr by marcac and his son Noid now dead till the warriors shed tears.

Eocaid than remained 9 days more in Mumain and had peace with Noids brother Ceas.

Eocaid gave Ceas 2 chargers and a wolf hound of superior breed but did not want to reamin long under the influence of Mumains sport and music as it would weaken the hardiness of his men.

they marched back across the Sior to Biora [Barron] went west from there to Maoil cheif of Ros and Don the king of Gaalen who had come to Maoils tents to meet them.

These Cronicle passages continue to be narrated in the present tense of Neartan the Ardollam of Ullad as they are narrated by previous Ardollams who are named in the text.

The position of Ardollam and ArdCromfear appers to be heritage places usually passing from father to son by consensus of their peers fellow ollams or cromfears.

They were not elected as the king by the cheiftains and the king might be one of several elegible sons or grandsons of a former ruler or a brother.

This selection could be made from the generation of a common ancestor or a derb fine.

This convention was called in Tonnsenad [March] between Don of Gaalen and Ceas of Mumain at the tents of Maoil.

Eocaid disclosed his mind to these cheifs of kingdoms that a place of assembly should be estblished with uniform practice of customs.

He recommened Eudan Siar as a good spot for convention of the Gaal and asked what if [cad mar] the kings of Gaalen [Iolar] and Mumain [Iber] and himself Ullad [Ir] pitch their tents there in Cruinnugad [September]
The agreed and took the hand of freindship.

eocaid pg 2

The king Eocaid gave orders to his men that their cloaks should be buckled and their swords sheathed at Meas [August].

All the chieftins of Iber, Iolar Ir and Ith of Ib Lugaid arrived within days of each other at the hill of Eudan Siar just as Baal entered Cruinnugad the house of his division which is probably the fall solstice September 21 not September 1.

All the Gaal of Errion were assembled.

Eocaid thus addressed them recalling history of 484 years in Europe at Gaalag and their ancestor Cealac, Calma and Ronard, and how Cogard of the royal house had crossed the Bearnma [Pyreness] and how this as an unified people had resisted conquest by Fiene [Phonecian and Aoimag [ Phyrigian] until they were finally routed by Sruamac who conquered the army of Gollam who were then beset with pestilance droubt and famine whence they came to Ireland and with the help of the Cegarb Firgtneith were able to overcome the fierce Danaan.

He than recalled the tragic division of these Gaal people by the murder of Iber by his brother Iolar and the consequent estrangement of the tribes each a stranger to another.

He said he had contemplated how to rectify this shame and condition and prophesed that all the chiefrtains of Gaal Sciot Iber elect a person as a step higher than the brothers with a conjoint convention of the whole to legislte laws for the common good.

he also asked What if?

The Gaal the very hill of Eudan Siar should be alloted to the tribes round the hill for the purpose of governance.
The hill became the territory of whomever was selected to be ArdRig as a gift with no payment.

He also suggested. What If?
Cad Ma ?
the hill formerly known from ancient days as Eudan Siar but now called Tabarta which means given or donated.
He than requested the input of the kings of Gaalen Don and Mumain Ceas who both arose and agreed to this propostition.

He than put to the assembled race asking
What say the Chieftaisn and the Gaal?

They all answered
'Let it be so."
Bidead is maite.

Conseequently the gaal who had been living on Eudan Siar with the help of the 3 kings Eocaid, Don and Ceas where given a new allottment in the 3 kingdoms leaving Tabarta to be built as goverment center and home of their Ardrig.

They worked diligently to prpare this place for future assembly.

The 1st year no assembly was held as laws were not yet formunated for delibaration on the assembly place.
Eocaid himslef said it was not fiting for laws to be formulated and recorded and than needed to be errased or corrected.

He wanted laws to formulate peace and prosperity in
Errion.
Siocain and Rathunas n Errion.

Eocaid went about the country gathering data from the people relative to this project.

He often traveled incognito.

At last messages came announcing Tabarta would be ready in Iarsgith [July].

When Baal had passed 3 divisions of Fire Asti [vesta] he proceeded south to Tabarta with all the princes the chieftains of Ullad, 3 ollams form the 3 universities and Neartan m Beirt his Ard ollam and recorder of these events.

a Fies was held with Banqueting dancing and music for 3 days.

As the Gaal tribes were still on the hill Eocaid again asked them for conformation of the idea of an Ardrig to which all assented with a yea.

He than advised patience over haste and gave the occupying tribes another year to be resettled in the ajoining 3 kingdoms and announced a re assembly on Tabarta in the following Iarsgith.

Festivities continued for 9 more days with games and harp music.

When the assembly was disolved that year Eocaid remained in residence in his tents and dwelt on Tabartha.
This was probably in the second yer of Eocaids reign in Ullad. 701 BC.

The Ardcromfear of Gaalen Soar came to Eocaid and related to him the story of Lia Fail.

Saor one of the men there for Gaal Sciot of Iber told the king that in olden times their ancestors left Iber with Cartac who was a royal prince there.

Iberia however were opposed to Cartac becoming their King.

Cartac had a ship and crew and band of followers.
These stold off the large round apple shaped white stone.
This was coustomarily taken by 6 horse chariot attended by priests to be used in the Iberian coronation ceremony.

4 kings had been crowned under this Lia Fail [Stone of Destiny] before it was removed by Cartac and his band.

The messanger Saor claimed to be the decendant of Ton one of the followers of prince Cartac.
When the ship wrecked the crew was able to bring this stone to land on the strand.
The Firgneath took them and the stone to their dewelling caves.

Later when the Danaans came and heard of its magic powers of prophesy they took this stone.

Soar relayed that this stone was at Ultonnmact which he called Stanncliden.

He advised Eocaid to seize the stone and assume the crown and title and soverignty and it to keep this land in the possession of the sons of Eber.

The messangers were unable to tell the king the time of these events of the stone but said it had come to the island before the Danaan.

This story had been passed since that time from mouth to ear.

Eocaid sent Saor and valiant youth to Meirt king of Ultonmact with 4 steeds, a roll of cloth and satin cloak to ask for the stone.

Meirt consulted with his Chieftains and agreed to render the Lia Fail to Eocaid a son of Ir.

A 6 horse chariot was sent with an escort command around it until it was brought to Tabarta.

In July as Eocadid was corinated on the Bruiteine before a vast crowd on the plain below who shouted with joy as the herald proclaimed.

Eocaid m Fiaca m Sedna m Ardfear m Eolus of Ir ERMION!

The warriors assembled struck their shields and Eocaid called for Saor to be broght forth which the warriors did caring this young Gaal Scoit of Eber to him on their shilds.
Soar again relted the story of the lia fail.

Eocaid than sat in the white stone and the Ard Cromfear of Gaalen put the crown [Essaon] upon his brow and the royal robe around his shoulders.
The crowd burst forth in joyous shout.

When there was silence Eocaid told the heralds to proclaim the hill of Eadan Siar to be called Tabarta.

So be it replied all.

Neartan the Ardollam recorded all in the book of Cronicles forever.

Festifities followed the Corination banquet, drinking, dancing
The minstrels preformed games and athletics of skill were held for a month on the plain below Tabarta .

At the end of these Neartain read out the writing of Eolus and Eterial and the Cronicles of Gaalag and Errion on the Bruiteine of Tabarta.

Eociad thereupon ajourned this Assembly til the following Iarsgith to consider the laws for the land of Errion.

eocaid pg 3

In September of this year the assembled people and chieftains returned to their own lands and tents.

Ermion assigned the governing of Ullad to Ros and he himself remained at Tabarta.

He retained there workmen from all the Tanasteac of Ullad. Retained an archetect and felled timbers hewing square beams and planked lumber from them.

27 pillars were carved round and polished.

Stone cutters were there hewing out stones for the walls 56 cubits wide, 180 long, megalithic walls of hewn stone 18 cubits high and 9 cubits thick.

3 pillars all carved held up the roof itself of the building supplimented by 27 pillars for the support.

The roof itself was made of split planks topped with rush thatch.

In the walls there were 9 windows on the side walls 1/2 cubit and 3 cubits in height.

Gates were placed in the east wall facing the rising of Baal which had 2 great oak gates rivited with iron.

This building was the Teacmor of Tabarta.

Near by the kings house was erected as a permanent habitation.

Eocaid when these constructions were done sent his relative Ardfear to both Gallens king Don and Mumains king Ceas instructing them to elect 3 ollams and 27 tribunes of their people and send them in July to him to assist in legislation and in consels of affairs of the state.

Ionarth Ard Cromfear of Gaalen came to the king at Tabarta to counsel him not to tamper with the laws of Baal that had been given the 9 cromfears by this god.

Eocaid tried to assure him bt Iolar continued his demands till he was told by the king to be silent until his counsel was reguested.

Iolar persisted whence the king lost patience with him and declared:

'It is impossible for human power to change the law of God.
the law of Baal is beyond the reach of every human being.
When a person can fly through the air like a bird,
when a person can swim in the waters like a fish,
when he can burrow in the earth like a worm,
when he can safely live within the burning core of the fire,
when he can be immortal without food or drink,
than and not until then can he transgessthe laws of the all powerful.'

When so chastened Iolar the Ardcromfear went away in anger.

In the 4th year since Eocaid had been elected king of Ullad in 703, now 699 BC the Assembly was conviened and the process of creating law and justice for all Errion began.

Ermoin began by contesting the premise of the cromfears that the people could only be held in submission by them and should be kept in ignorance and held in fear of God by the Cromfears thereby protecting the rich luxurys of the elite.

Eocaid disagreed with this principle of control and submitted a human law idea to be obeyed.

He styled these the 5 laws:

do not murder
no appropriation or theft of the goods of another
speak no falseness
show mercy to all living things
do to all men a you wish him to do to you.

These 5 precepts began the roll of the laws of Errion and were adopted by consent.
Yea so be it.

The laws in effect created a control over people to stop killing,to stop theft, to create conpation and to induce man to put himself in the shoes of another before he persecuted a fellow man.

He defined that the Gaal of olden times had been governed by fear not love and thus the will of the old judges.
He noted that no penalty or fine was imposed on a guilty person.

He suggested judges be appointed to every kingdom near their king and also with himself making the superior judge.

One to each Tanasteac of which there were 19 with one supreme judge for every kingdom
One for Gaalen, one for Mumain, one for Ullad one for Iblugad and one for Tabarta and the Ardri.

These judges were to have power over all chiefs and people of Gaal and presumably the kings themeselves.

all answered
Yea so be it.

He suggested a jury of 9 should be present and have a vote before the judge pass sentance.

The majority would rule by a hand count not an oral one.

After the jury had rendered its verdict against the accused the judge whould read the law.

All said Yea let it be so.

The penalty for wilful murder was established that being the culprit buried alive beyond the sight of men.

For falsehoods and purjury a fine equal to that which would have been given the defendant would apply.

All answered Yea Yea

For theft the rogue must return double the amount and put to shame.
If the thief could not pay the assesment was made against his tribe.

All gave assent.

All these new laws and penalty were written in the law tracts than existing.

He proposed that the Gaal Sciath Iber should not issue from Erin to devistate the kingdoms of other people but only defend their own county.
This invoked the Assembly to call upon the name of Errion 9 times.

Ermion declared the land of Errin the inheritnce of the children of Errion.
He delclard the part of the soil allotted to each for as long as he shall live upon it.

The king,the princes, the chieftains ,the ollams ,the cromfears, the minstrels, the poets ,the tribal land alotted to the Gaals ,all had these apportionments as long as they lived upon it.

This law ws defeated by Elizabeth II and her heir James VI of Scotland when the land holders were displaced by plantation and sent to 'hell or connact' thereby giving the English crown an excuse that these Gaals had vacated their land and hence lost their holding.

English confiscations usually have a veneer of law or loopholes in a law of either culture, governance or religion in the many usurpations of the rights of others about planet earth.

He defined that the old law of Tanistry should apply to any redistribution of land and that women should be included in this division.

He showed respect for women saying
'Has not our might race sprung from woman?'

He said what if the practice of Tanisty remain as before and it was so.

He than said the law should be written as the laws of Errion passed by the will of the congress of Errion at Teacmor high chamber at Tabarta.

All answered Yea.
He than established an Assemby at Teacmor Tabarta every 3rd year to keep the lords from being strangers to one another.
This he said would lead to reason dominating desire and peace would rule.

He left to each kingdom however the internal states rights not giving over to the Errion or senate any power to impose laws to them except the intersts of all Errion.

Each assmby member had equal rights and could speak without interuption till he finished what he desired to say.

when all had been heard a vote or hand cound could be taken.

Yea so be it said the gathered lords and chierftains.

He than professed the Ardri be elected by the provincial kings, princes, and chieftains to be called Ardri.

This all answered
Yea be it so.

They than adjourned the assembly.
Custom dictated a 3 day celabration .

On the 4th day these laws were recorded in the rolls law texts and were read before the senate.
The Ardollm read the rolls.
The Ard Ri said
What if the judgement stand.
All assented.

The writings of Eolus was read and the book of Cronicles to the end.
Next the Ard ri asked by herald

Stands any person on Tabarta demanding justice?'
None answered.

An ajournment was made and the chamber doors closed.

eocaid page 4 B

Eocaid however kept the company there while Baal ws in Fluicid [November]

a Feis was made for 9 days and Ardrig declared every 3rd year a month being dedicated to games.
A Field of Contest at the foot of Tabarta be dedicated forever.

Yea so bit it.

The participants must be of age, a free holder, free of any fine or eric or imputation of the law misdemaeanors.

This was upheld.
Prizes to be awarded
by the provincial kings and th Ard Rig.
There were 9 prizes
Philosopohy, music, poetry, bravery, arms expertness, sparing, horsemanship, chariot and swift running.
The prize valuedat 9 cumals and a badge of silver or gold and a title 'king of--' his profession given to the victor.
This wining of the field a prerequsite for competing in a foreign contest.

All answered
Yea Let it be so.

At this time at the end of Fluicim the hosts departed for their dwellings.

Ardrig dwelled on Tabarta.
This year 699 BC in his pavillion dispite torrents of rain and tempest winds he did not enter Teacmor.

All winter Eocaid dwelt at his pavillio on Tabarta and in April he went to Dunsoberce in Ullad.

He missed the story and song of the Bard and wanted to built universties Mur n Ollams as invisioned by Eolus.

He loved the tales of olden times after listening to these tales from Deamna he had these written down and went on a progress of Ullad.

He passed threw Maggeintir of the Firgneath and their saw a beautiful maiden Tatla.
Eocaid took this maiden for himself.

He assembeled the princes and chieftains of Ullad and the 27 tribunes of the people and held the assemby of Ullad.

They adopted to Ullad the 9 laws made at Tabarta the previous year.

Tanisty included.

The writings of Eolus and the Cronicles of Gaalag were read at Dunsoberce and also now the Cronicles of Errion were read by Neartan.

A festival was held for 9 days.

He appointed Feargais and Deiab 2 Ullad princes to oversee Ullad and the construction of the 3 universities uf Ullad.

He than set out for Tabarta to begin construction of the Mur n ollam at Teacmor.

All Erin was in peace and happiness.

In Iarsgith he again returned to Dunsoberce leaving Ardfear and a retinue at Tabarta.

In Eocaid 6th year 697 Bc Don of Gaalen died.
He hd been king for 37 years.

His son Roiteasac was elected king of Gaalen.

In the month of Blath [April] Eocaid returned to Tabarta with ollams to instll at mur n ollam of Teachmor.

He provided for them.

This caused much tongue waging and the cromfears of Gaalen dignity and the bards dignity of Mumain and the ollams dignity of Ullad was questioned by the king giving supplies and divisions of land for them without the consent of the Assembly.

When the Assembly was called the fires of the Raiths blazed all over Errion for travelers.
No one was refused lodging or sustenance and drink.

At a session after 9 days of entertainment a deputy appeared from the Firgneath with a complaint agaisnt Danaan.

The king asked if the Danaans had been read this complaint.

When they replied that the Danaans had not heard it the Ardri housed the man from Geintir and sent word to Meirt king of Ultonnmact before he would hear the complaint.

When on the 9th day the doors of the chamber were opened and Eocaid first anounced to the general Assemby of the mur n ollam at Teachmor and asked that they legislate a substance for it as he had given 18 shares of his own to suppoprt them so far.

He asked that these bestowals be affirmed their shares as these were appoirtioned.

Yea so be it said the assmemby.

At this second meeting Geinstirs inditement was heard.

Featan spoke.

He asserted that the Danaan preyed his land like a wild horse as they were free of tribute from the Obba [Lisfail].

He asked the chieftains of Fodla whom they had helped over the Danaan.
The Danaan now disported the lands and sailed on the waters as they pleased and used violence to do their will.

The are not allowed to compain to Meirt

Featan of Fodla came to make protest of this behavior and to recive the judgement of the king.

Ard Rig than had the Danaan make reply which Orlath did wrathfully.
He refered to the Figrneath as Cloden [slaves].

Ardrig challenged his right to be superior to the Firgneath.
saying the the Gaalen did not subjugage Danaan when they conquered Errion nor did Iolar son of Eterail at the death of Marcac Iber.

The children of Iber will not be slaves nor will thy rule over slaves fovever.

The Gaal had fled over the blessed water of the Euphrates and before all things were made the firgneath had been in Fodla called by the Danaan Banba and the Gaalen Errion.

He said shall not the sons and daughters of Fodla be allowed peace in the bosom of the soil their mother.

Orlath angrily challenged the kings ruling regarding the Fodla children and the treachery of the Cloden giving Gaalen possesion of this land.

He also recalled the treaty of Magnortiomna.
He uphled his ruling in favor of Firgneath and his relationsip with the love of his heart Tatla a daughter of Fodla.

He withdrew from his power to make judgment to the general Assemly.
the case was ajudicated on the advisement of
Ruadruide prince of Ullad prohibiting furture incurions but forgiving past ones.

This was writen to the rolls of law and the hand of freindship sealed it between Orlath and Feaytan.
The land of Tabartha were full of grazing herds of cattle and flocks of sheep of the Gaal.

The gates of Teachmor were than closed and the games proceeded for the month Iarsgeith.

Oilliol m Eolus 768 BC-703BC

2008-06-30T15:35:00.002-07:00

Oilliol m Eolus 768 BC

In 768 five years after the death of Eolus Oiliol m Eolus the first born was elected king of Ullad.

Oiliol immeidatly sent ltters to Maine of Gaalen to free the Ultonnamact from the eric fines and tributes placed by Aongus m Fiaca.

Sruamac had been resisted by the Danaans and the Cronicles and writings of Eolus the Gaal ancestor made no provision for tribute.

Maine however listened to the cromfears and did not relaese the Ultonnmact.

Peace however remained in Erin.

Eunda king of Mumain occupied himself searching and assaying minerals in mines of his mountains
which looked out over the great sea.

Oilliol loved the chase and after 7 years as king he was stuck by a stray slig shot by Solan a gaal of Glen Corra.

He was struck in the temple and fell dead.
They made his carn at Glen Corra.

This happened in 761 BC and he was suceeded by Ross m Eolus.
After 7 years Ross fell ill and diein 754 BC.

The reign of Ross was peaceful and many of the old rulers died.

Eunda of Mumain waas suceeded by his son Fearard.

Maine died and Roiteasac his brother became king of Gaalen.

After Ros had died Ardfer m Eolus became king of Ullad.
He was the youngest son.

He spent most of his time listening to the music of the minsterals leving the running of Ullad to Cier a cousin.

This he did for 13 years until Cier died in 741 BC.

After that Ardfear did not 'lift up his head' meaning unknown but he died 5 years later after reigning 18 years.

The chieftans constructed his carn and the minsterals and poets chanted his death cry.

His son Sedna m Ardfear became king for 10 years.

Roiteasac king of GAalen died in 735 BC.
His son Don became king of Gaalen.

Sedna continued the practice of assembling the chieftains, ollams, the tribunes of the people and the Gaal to the Bruineine of Ullad on Sgith, 21 June the midsummer observation.
This was done to acquaint the men with each other as well as their ruler and to read the words of the ancestor Eolus and the history of their rcace and the heros of olden times.

Murdac his Ardollam read this volume from beginning to end.
Than a banquet was spreed for 3 days feisting.

Sedna treated the ollams as a prince should visiting their tents and listening to their wisdom.
He also upheld music poetry and the ancient stories.
He was proficient in arms having no equal in Ullad at the hunt or in horsemandship.

After 10 years in the kingship of Ullad Sedna went to Lough Cuan [strangford lough belfast] in 726 BC to sail on the Foist and the sea.

He had with him his son Fiaca and Eocaid m Doil chief of Maginse.

The strom came up on the sea and became a tempest.
The ship was filled with water and wrecked.
The king and Eocaid and the crew all drowned but Fiaca and Gait m Doil and Lortan one of the crew.

With this death the chieftains of Ullad chose Sedna m Ruidruide king in 726 BC.

This was done because Fiaca m Sedna m Ardfear m Eolus refused the kingship.

This new king maintained his tanastic as did the kings of Gaalen and Mumain[ Deas].
No one claimed to be Ermoin in fact.

After 14 years Sedna m Ruidraide died in 712 BC and Fiaca son of the dead Sedna m Ardfear was elected king.

Fiaca m Sedna did not want this honor and protested he did not want to be ruler.
The chieftains however told him he would be king.

Fiaca lived at Dunsoberce.
He still morned his dead father.
He did not like being king and did not think himself worthy in truth or justice.

His brother Eocaid hence handled the governing of the kingdom.

Eocaid continued the summer Solstice assembly and the reading of the history, Eolus writings and the Cronicle readings
followed by banquet, music poetry dance and tales of ancient times.

Fiaca the announted king did not participate spending his time in melancolia and lonliness over his drowned father.

After 9 years Fiaca instructed his son Eocaid and sent him with Neartan his tutor and Ardollam to the university of Druimcrith for 7 days.

When the king had left them he shut himself in his chamber refusing eat and drink until he died.

The body was taken to Ardtan as the king had commanded and his carn built looking over the waves of the sea.
He was buried in his father military cloak.
The death cry was chanted.

The poets told of the drowning of Sedna m Ardfear and the melancoly that had possessed Fiaca.

These stories were placed among the wriings of the Bards in the libraries..

His son Eocaid m Fiaca m Sedna suceeded him in 703BC

Eolus of Ir 797-763 BC

2008-06-29T13:20:00.001-07:00

Eolus m Eocaid of Ir 797-763 BC

Eolua was a very prudent king. His progresses were orderly.
He visited the ollams reularly examining and questioning the scientific lessons.

When he had been king 7 years he went to Deas with Ollma Dierman to visit the king there Eocaid Mumo.

These two kings made a pact of freindship.

As Eolus returned to Dun Soiberce through Gaalen he stayed for a time there with Fionn whom he found completely under the influence of the cromfears rather than persuing the teachings and wisdom of the Ollams.

In 788 BC Eolus conviened an assembly on the Bruiteine Hill of Ullad at the time Baal crossed the threshhold of his house,Sgith or June.

This would be the summer solstice when the sun reaches its furthest point north of the equator indicating a tolerable knowlege among the Irish of the movements of the sky and astronomy.

He told this assembly that he desired to create in ULLad 3 royal universities, mur n ollam.
He asked what if we erect these mur n ollams at Druimceith, Druimmor and Dun Soverce with 9 ollams over each rigscoil?

Eocaid Mumo king of Deas while leaping his charger at the river Sior fell and was drowned in the current.

He was buried in a tumulus[carn] there at the river called Carn Mumain.
Thereafter Deas was called Mumain.

In Eolus 14th year of reign ,783 BC Fionn died.
Apngus m Fiaca was elected king for Gaalen.

IN Deas Glas m Noid m Eocaid Faobar Glas was elected king which was now called Mumain [Munster].

Aongus had a hatred of the Danaan and Firgneath.
This he developed because they had murdered his father Fiaca.
He desired to invade and distroy them.

Forb the Danaan king was accosted by Aongus messengers [ciosfir] for a tribute or tax.

Forb said
"What tribute?"
For an eric for the blood of fiaca he was told.

Comlanns of Gaalen desended on Ultonnmact.
The Danaans fled westward but Gaal pursued them and were led into the narrow passes of the mountains where the Danaans wheeled and charged Gaalens comlanns.

Many were killed including Mal their bravest chieftain.

Aongus was in his pavilion with his wife Bana a great beauty.
A messanger came, threw his shield into the pavillion, announced the Gaal were being slaughtered and fell dead.

Aongus rose in the morning rode out to his comlanns and the Danaan were defeated.

The passes and valleys wer full of the dead.

He called this hill Cealg because of the Danaan treachery and than devistated all of Ultonnmact killing all he met cattle as well as imposing fines and tributes to revenge his fathers death.

He than called himself Ermoon.

He than went to Maggeinter resolved to exterminate the Firgneath from the earth.

Before he could do this the forces of Ullad appaeared under the command of Eolus,with his 3 brothers Oiliol, Ruidruide and Ros.

These went forward with their shiields on their shoulders their swords on their left side and their cloaks belted.
They went in front to speak with the prince Aongus.
They advised him that Firgneath were under protection of Ullad.
They told him the armed man of battle had to be prepared to accept either victory or defeat in vengance, but should not desire to pursue and distroy the innocent children women and those villagers who had remained in peaceful pursuits.

This Ros spoke in the hearing of the comlanns of Gaalen and it seemed just to them.
Aongus then took counsel and returned to Gaalen.

Eolus sent for Don chieftan of Iargaal to become friend to Forb which he did and the Danaan loved Ullad and Ers race from that time forth.

Peace remained in all Errion henceforth in the customs of their fathers and the precepts of truth.

Raths were refuge for all on the highways. There were 9 of them.
Wonderers, aliens, tribeless, all found meat drink and lodging at night.

A lite shone from the roof of each raith all night to direct a travler through the dark.

Aongus died in 769BC and Maine was elected to succeed him.

When Eolus had been 29 years king he felt he was near the end of life.

He had his tent pitched between the Bruiteine and Dunsoberce.
He had himself carrie there to die as his fathers had in their pavilions.

He spoke to his sons before he died.
He told them of his trasure recieved from his ancestors that of Fame and a good name more precious than all things.

His sons wanted to stay by him in tents and he gave them persmission to do so his eyes filling with tears for their loyalty.

When word got out that the king was near death the chieftains and host of the Gaalen came forth to this place and the ordinary children of the soil.

He ordered Ros to prepare a banquet for these multitudes of Gaal and their women and children and it was done.

Next day about noon Eolus died and weeping and lamentation arose.

the people intreated Baal to take Eolus spirit to him.
They constructed his carn and chanted the death cry.
This was done in the year 763 BC.

oiliol m soberce 854-839 BC

2008-06-29T09:59:00.000-07:00

Oilliol m Soberce 854-839 Ad

At the Ullad Bruiteine where Soberce and his Brother Ciernma were buried the chieftans elected Oilliol king of Ullad.

Eocaid king of Deas became high handed and began meanacing the Dannaan demanding tribute[ cois].

The cois was not due him but he insisted their ruler Seorl either pay him or his warriors would attach Ultonnmacht.

Seorl answered recalling the monument erected between Iber and Danaan and the writing scroll volume ofthe treaty between the two races and the unlawfulness for Ers race to cross the Seanaman to disturb the Danaan of Ultonnmact.

He said the writing still existed at royal palace Soberce in Ullad.
Eocaid disregarded this and still threatened to cross the Seanaman river into their territory.
Seorl therefore sent to Oilliol to put a stop to it.

Nid than Ardollam brought out the Cronicles and read the words of the treaty.
He than asked why Eocaid wanted this tribute and disruption.

The Danaan deputation declard their innocence and therfore Oilliol agreed to order Eocaid to cease his demands and persecution of the Danaan.

Oilliol sent letters to Eocaid challenging both his claim to be Ermion or to demand spoils and tribute for himself.
Oilliol said he would uphold the treaty of Magmortiomna.

He obtained Eocaids keeping of the peace and continued to circuit Ullad each year dwelling with the chieftains and examing the agriculture and farming of each community.

He kept the gates of Dun Soberce open to all the chieftains of Gaal.

This peace continued for 22 years.

In 832 BC Smiorgall m
Erbot of Gaalen visited with half of Erin were gathered for the royal hunt.

This was proceeded by a banquet music and drink, poetry reading and dancing.
On one morning of the fiestive time Smiorgall king of Gaalen took a plunge in the Sior River.

He immediatly after developed a fever and dry skin but still went on the days hunt.
Eventually he collapsed became delerious .
When the hunt was over he was still bed ridden.
No remedies could cure him and in 5 days he died.
As Eocaid had visited his cousin in his pavilion he contracted the plague and contagion and in 5 days hence he also died.

Than many people of Deas also contracted the desease.

The 2 sons of these rulers were elected to replace them.
Magfeib m Eocaid of Deas and
Fiaca m Erbot to Gaalen.

In 830 BC Oiliol died after 24 years as king of Errion and Ullad where he had ruled with justice and truth.

He was suceeded by his son Daier.

Daier 830- 813

Daier did not want the kingship of Ullad saying he was not strong enough.
However the cheieftains insisted he take the throne.

Because hw was not strong he spent his days with the ollams and bards.
His brother Eocaid ran the government

After 6 yeaars in 824 BC Cuill king of Danann insited the Fergneath to combine with them to rebel against the foreigners.

These Firgneath did and an imposing force was created.
They mrched on Gaalen and Fiaca m Smergall.

The Gaalen wanted to write to Daier for help.
However the chieftains Colga said while the scribe is petitioning what will happen to our possesssions and flocks?
Where is the former glory of the Gaal?
On this note the chieftains of Gaalen marshaled the comlanns and went to Magduor to meet there enemy.

The combined forces gave them great slaughter but their line held.

When they were pushed slowly eastward Fiaca commanded Colga to take 1/2 leigion [1500 men] to their rear and to attack them with a spear charge while he attacked from the front.

The Firgneath when they felt this shock from front by Fiaca and rear by Colga broke and fled.

The Danaan stood firm and were slaughtered.

Gall lost 1500
confederte forces 9000.

The armys separated then in hatred of each other.

Daier wsas uneasy at this fearing Gaalena nd Iber would divide Ultonnmach and disrupt the balance of power.

He sent his brother Eocaid to Cuil and Dannann.

He found that Cuils messengers to Dunsoberce had been intercepted by Fiacas forces and made to swere that they would tell the Danaans king Daier refused to see them.
He advised Cuil to observe the treaty of Magnortiomna and if Fiaca and Gaalen did not Daier would bring his force the Comlanns of Ullad to their defence.

Eocaid took this to Dunsoverce and tranquility prevailed in Ullad for the remainer of Diaers reign of 17 years.

In 813 he fell ill and died.

His brother Eocaid was elected king of Ullad.813-797 BC.

In his 5th year 808 BC Fiacad Labruine m Erbot of Gaalen sent his son Fionn to Ullad contesting the alliance betwen Ullad and the western tirbes of Danaan and Firgneath.

He wanted them t unite their forces with himself and Iber of Munster against Ultonnmact.

These communications were reveled to the chiefs and the king at the assembly but they would not approve such an alliance.

Fiaca himself then came to Ullad Eocaid to try to convince him to invade Ultonnmact.

Deas was against this union.

Fiaca being angry promised to ravage the Firgneath reservation out ofhis contempt for them.

He took 1/2 a legion [1500 men] and marched to Mageintir.
Fiaca was killed there and his body dragged to the reservation boundry and cast into the river Arin.

Such was the end of the king of the Gaalen.

His son Fionn was elected ruler.

Ulad remained in peace and all Errion was tranquil.

When he had been Ermoin for 16 years Eocaid of Ullad died in respect and was well morned.

He was succeded by his son Eolus 707 BC.

Soberce 893-854 BC

2008-06-28T12:57:00.000-07:00

Soberce 893-854 BC

39 years king of Errion Soberce m Iberidc m Iber m Ir m Cier M Gollam king of Ulad called an assemby of chieftains at Campus [lois] Magalman that they could meet him King of Ullad.

These chieftains went into council as Soberce said he would take no action without their advice or without their desire.

These Gaalen chieftains requested Soberce to assume the protection of Gaalen as did the cheiftains of Deas to him twin brother Ciernma.

These 2 twin brothers than assumed the rule of the provinces of Ireland mid north and south.

Lugaid remained in his own Tanastaic.

Soberce took with him to his own house in Ullad the child Erbot m Tigernmas.
The Ard ollam Fedlimid lived to see Irs son rule all Ireland.

They both followed the precipts of Eolus.

Soberice gave Erbots education to his ollams commanding them to teach him the path of Truth and Eolus.

He Soberice built a gaislan [castle].
This citidel was built on the hieghts above Larne in Ullad.

his brotehr Ciernma also founded a castle in Ib Lugaid border looking seaward.

These citidela were the first walled strongholds built by the Gaal in Errion.
The people objected to these wondering
What does it Mean?
as their fathers had built no such fortifications.

The twins assured the chiefs and people no harm would come to them from the children of Ir announcing that the gates of DunSoberce[Dun Severic] and Dun Ciernma will be open day and night just as the tent pavilions had been.

The brothers offered to tear down these fortification if the people desired.

This assured the chiefs and people of Errian and they accepted the walled fortifications.

Erbot m Tigernmas came of age and Soberce took him to Gaalen convened the assembly saying to the assembled chiefs that he had assumed the protection on their request to care for their heir apparnt, and He had acceded to that.

He declared Gallen the allotment of Iolars sons.

He advised of Erbots education by the ollams in the knowledge of Truth and Wisdom and just rule.
No one spoke.
He therfore said
What if Erbot m Tigernanmas of the race of Gollam sit on the throne of his father in the kingdom of Gallen?

A cheer arose.

Murcad a Gaalen chief asked Erbot to accept the throne of Gaalen.
The chieftains answered
Yea So Be it. So Be It.
{he old bardic irish text seems to be for this exchange Sead go Dearbte{valuable to delcare}
answered by Bidead Bidead.
This world do not appear in modern Irish dictionary so being marsin, is a form of it and the word beith used as to be]

Soberce than placed a resplendent robe embroidered in bright red gold and summoned the Ardollam Cartac placing in Erbots hand the writiings of Eolus and Eterial to 'keep them in view'.
Erbot accepted these volums placing them under his cloak.

Great tables were prepared and a fiest insued for 9 days with song dancing and history tales told along with minstrels.

After Soberce returned to Ullad accompanied by all the chieftains of Gaalen to the river Raman the dividing between Gaalen and Ullad where a new highway had been built by Soberce to Dun Soberce at Larne.

He than sent word o his brother Ciernma claiming the lonliless of his heart for his brother and saying Airt [Ardfear] m Aongus was of age in Deas.

Ciernma therefore conviened the chiefs of Deas who elected Airt or Ardfear m Aongus as their king.

Hw than set out for Ullad accomopanied by a host to the Deas boundry and than through Gaalen like a triuphal march.

When he approcaed Ullad he dismounted to purify himslef inthe river Raman and he kissed the soil of Ullad.

Soberce came 2 days there to met him at Gleann Bearna where the twins embrassed.

They erectd a stone there with their names carved on it.

At Dun Serveric there were festivities for the whole month of September [Cruinnugad]

Tents were pitched in the plain songs and harps were heard and the ancient stories told.

Stag hunting by day and drinking by night.

On the last day a rostrum was raised and Leath read the writtings of Eolus, the Cronicles up to the moment.

All praised this.
The ollams , chieftains, cromfears, minstreals, poets gaals, women and maidens.

All lifted their hands to heaven and invoked Baal to prosper Soberce and Ciernma works, the glory of Gaal and the sword of Ullad.

The Danaans and the Firgneathsought frindship with Ullad and dwelt in the west of Shannon land without anxiety.

Ard Fear of Deas and
Erbot of Gaalen made visits to Dunsoberce.

Erbot howver fell under the sway of the comfears forgetting the lessons of Eolus and the teaching of the Ollams.

Soberce questioned him as to what happened to the volumes he had recieved and Erbot replied that the Ardcromfear had taken them from his tent not wanting him to know the works of the ollams.

Ardfearin Deas also prefered music and frolic dance and poetry to science.

In Soberces reign the Gaal multiplied and their flocks and herds could be seen covering the land.
Youths came to hear the ollams and there was esteem for learning and science.

5 Bruiteine [fire hills] were established in Ullad.
The land was peaceful and content.

When Soberce had been king 37 years Erbot of Gaalen died in 856 BC.

His son Smergall [ Smiorgall] seed of the sea was elected king.

In that same month Ardfear m Aongus of Deas died.

8 months later Eocaid m Ardfear came of age and was elected king of Deas.

After 42 years as king and Ermoin Soberce became ill and died.

He instructed his carn shold be built by the bruinteine of Ullad.

His twin brother Ciernma died 12 days later.

The Brotehrs crns were side by side.

Soberce pg 2

These carns may be equivocal to the barrow graves excavated on continentl Europe in Spain, France, Germany and Austria which reveal that the sepluchre was constructed with a lined room made of timber in which the body was placed in a raised bronze bed.

These royal or princly persons were surrounded by their wepons bows and spears and wore bracelets of gold
Usually drinking cups were placed in the grave room.

Most of these were placed on hilltops and a stone covering over them covered with a mound of dirt.
There floors were often covered with a lush oxhide carpet.

A cauldron for preparing wine was often buried with such a personage as well as his 4 wheeled cart[ a wagon] and harness. Oftimes the body was laid out in this cart.

These graves were found all along the Danube.

Another type of Bronze age 1500 BC-500 BC- burial were the Urnfield people who cremated the dead placed the remains in an urn and put it in a sepluchre on a plain covered again with a stone heap and a mound.

These mound and barrow graves are in Ireland as well as the urns found on plain.

However the northmen came in Ireland to plunder and many of the intensive areas besides the monastary gold and sliver and produce were the great grave mounds where as expert grave robbers they removed most of the loot in thier ships either to barter away in trade or to return to their rulers ih Norway.

Most of these cemetaries were kept for a clann or family and the bodies entered there belonged for centuries from one tribe or class.

The Boyne Bruig was a kings cemetary where all kings of Erin were were usually intered.

In additoion to this there were several provincial cemetary places where many bodies were either creamated and placed in the mosoleum or for an exceptional person given a carn of their own.

Soberce was replaed as Ermoin and Ullad king by his son Oilliol in 854 BC.

Conmaol 958-931 Tigernmas 931-903 BC

Conmaol m Erac assumed the title of Ermoin for the Deas with great arrogance.

He was king 27 years.

Filiat m Eteriall was elected king of Gaalen.
His mother was Mara.

In this period Ir m Ciar hero of the battle of Sruamac.
Cier son of both Eber and Gollam who had brought home both the bodies of his dead father Gollam and brothers to Asteirias from this battle died after 42 years as king of his portion in the norht of Errion. .

His body was waked for 9 days and buried at Maginse with a carn.

Togar his Ard cromfear/ollam and a composer of these Cronicles was lead in old age to chant the death cry.

No battle cry was sung over Er as he had lived in peace.

The poets recited the story of Cier his father.

When the tomb of Er was closed Aod chief of Ardtan named the kingdom Ullad[lamentation] to memorialize ER.

Togar wrote these things in the Cronicles.

Eber the first son of Ir was elected king.
He gave up his office as ArdOllam and Neact m Tol was elected Ardollam in his place.

Meanwhie Conmaol continued to demand satisfaction agaisnt Iolars decendants for the death of his father at Cashel.

Contentious in his speechfinally evoked war betwen himself and Filait.

Filaint intreated the Danaans west of Shannon to assist him against Conmaol m Eber.
They joined him but the Gaalen fled from Conmaol who routed this army and than overran Ultonnmact[ Connact] burining it killing the inhabitants and creating fines and tribute upon it.

Iber m Ir continued his fathers policy of peace and promoting the welfare of his people.

Highways were laid out.

Bruiteine[hill fires] were placed in the provence of Ullad.

Youth was encouraged to study the ollams and attend their conferences.

Filiat however was weak and made no effort to judge Conmaol or to keep him from ravaging Gaalen borders.
This went on for the entire 27 years of Filiats reign till Tigernmas his son became king of Gaalen in 931 BC.

Tigernanmas on the request of his chiefs contested with Conmaol in Deas.
The chieftaains were able peacefully to restore Oir and Ceas to Gaalen and peace preevailed.

No further mention is made of Con Maol other than the end of his rule as Ermoin in 931 BC.

Tigernmas m Filiat becomes de facto Ermoin and rules as such for 27 years till 904 BC when he was murdered by the cromfear.

These are the circumstances of that murder.

AS Gaalen and Deas contested over their boundry peace continued in Ullad since Iber m Ir.
When Iber died after 28 years as king of Ullad his son Iberic was elected king.

At this time a ship came from Fenicia with a letter from the Phonecian king asking to search the land of Errion for minerals, stones, copper and tin offering 20% of the finds to the island rulers and people and offering to purchase from the natives all the stores and provisions and work equipment.

Tigernmas called an assemby of Gaalen and told them the Feine proposals.
The chiefs harbored suspition of the Feine motives and their reputation of duplicity and Eterails advise to shun the Cosantiredir and so regected the Phonecian offer saying they could search their land themselves.
This was around 914 BC by calculation of the Ardcromfer Ithbaal to the kingship of Tyrel [Tsair] and Sidon[Scadan] and the Phonecia kings daugher Ishball was married to Aodab king of Ceisrael.
She brought with her a band of cromfears of Baal.
These Feine brought a statue of Baal to Errion in gold and Re in silver and Tarsnasc in Bronze.
The sun the moon

The Feine related a command to the cromfear of Erin to construct a Dun and a temple in which to shelter these statues.
They also asked Tigernmas the Ermoin to assembe the people and tell them Baal the god had spoken to the king to erect a pillar[Ultur] and carve a likeness of Baal on it with Re and Tarsnac and to prostrate themselves before this to hear the petitions that he might give ear to these through his servants the cromfear.

Tigernmas followed this advise.

The Cromfears instucted the people to obey the commands of Baal that he shoud bless Ermoin.

Three pilars were erected near Bruiteine of Gaalen and on top of these the 3 statues were placed.

Tibernmas and the cromfears bowed down to these statues.
The people hovever refused to prostrate themselves to the statues saying they would bow down only to Baal alone.

They wanted to tear down the idols.

Tigernmas enjoyed unpopularity because of this demand the people bow down to Crom Cruad and he than put the blame from himself to the cromfers at the assembly.

Ardcromfear when he heard this sent to the king privately demanding he order the bowing to the Cromcruid.
When the king refused and again put the responsiblity to the cromfirs he ws found dead in his bed the following morning.

The people invoked the spirit of Erial and Eterail and Tigernmas. Ardcromfear retorted that Baal himself had smote the king for his contempt of the cromfears Baals servants.

The people demanded an inspection of Tigernmas body but found no mark upon him from Baal.

They than killed the Ardcromfear and as many cromfears as they cound catch.

The Bards chanted the death cry for Tigernmas and a carn was constructed without cromfears.

His deeds are written by the cronicles called the Book of Tigernmas after his murder and reign of 27 years.

Erbat his son was a mere boy also in Deas Aongais the king died and his son Ardfear[Airt] was also to young to rule.

Therefore Deas and Gaalen had no roytal person old enough to rule.

Iberic declined to rule and after 34 years ruling Ullad died.

His son Soberice was elected the king.
He had a twin brother Ciernma.

In 904 BC Eocaid m Daire m Ith prince of IbLugad took the title of Ermoin.

He was frivolous and vain.

Gaalen and Deas were tahn fearful of a revolt of the Danaan and Fuirgneagh and petitioned Soberce and the twin brother Ciernma to guard Erin from her enemies and compel Eocaid to abdicate his userpted throne.

They agreed and Soberce sent word to Eocaid m Daire son of Ith saying
'thou were not elected a king nor art thou the choise of the chieftains'

Eocaid delayed to return to IbLugad and or answer Soberce who proceded with his phalanx whereupon Eocaids friends and courtiers fled leaving him alone.

He than petitioned for peace.
When Ciernma did not respond quickly Eocaid m Daire m Ith committed suicide.

Erial Faid 988-971 BC - Eterail 971-958BC

In this year Erial Faid who was Ard Cromfear became king Ermoin.
He reighned for 17 years.

The other remaiing son of Iolar was Balb [Dumb] He was tounge tied and a stammerer and could not speak so anyone could understand him.

The Iber sons were contentious of this successor claiming a prior right to the Ermoin as Eber marcac was the eldest son of Gollam and they threatened to disturb the peace of ErRionn.

The Gaalen and the north central chiefs than evoked the division of land by lots giving Eran the south Deas and requesting these princes abide by the agreements of their fathers.

However Erac of the Deas replied recalling the blood of Marcac[Horseman] taken by Iolar [eagle].

When this haughty and contentious reply came to the Gaalen they demaned arms and marched in phalanzx to Earb Hill where they met the Deas Army.

The battle raged all day from dawn till dark where Erac the Deas King and his brothers Eran and Erbac were killed.

Ernac the remaining brother was elected king of Deas and Irial returned to his own kingdom in north central Ireland.

Meanwhile Ir m Cier ruled in peace in his own land inthe north paying no head and taking no side in the quarell of his fellow kings.

Erial Faid after the battle of Earb ruled peacefully in his own land for the next 17 years till he died in 971 BC.

He was succeeded by his son Eterial who ruled 13 years. Eterial became Ermoin in 971-958 BC
His mother or grandmother was Muimne ingen of Iolar.

He followed his fathers example in all things.
He wrote precepts of his fathers reign and his own and made no arbitray determinations during his rule.

During his reign his wife Moratel and two of his sons died.

Filait survived.

He councelled peace and the sons and daughters of Erin to cherish one another and the land.

H e coounsled wisdom over passion and kept the counsel fo t the wrigings of Eolus.
He counseled purity of race and not interbeeding with the Feine [Phonician] who had soft words but deceptive heart and a spirit of contention and covetousness.

He was put into a war with Conmad m Erac of Deas who was ambitious for dominion and had killed Balb Erials brother.
A battle was fought at Ard Coram where Eterial m Erial M Iolar fell in 958 BC.

His carn was built wher he fell at Ardcoran.

Iolar king 1004BC

2008-06-24T07:58:00.001-07:00

Iolar king 1104BC

In 1004 BC Iolar m Gollam styled himself Ermoin and ruled 13 years till 991BC.

As none of Iber Marcacs sons were old enough to rule and Ir was still a child under his regents of whom there were 9,
Iolar delcared himself Ermoin.

Lugad suggested regents be appointed to rule Deas but Iolar told him to keep within his own Tanast.

In due time these princes expressed disatisfaction with the usurpation of their kingdom and birthright by Iolar.

They appealed to the Ardcromfear their uncle Blath to help them.

Iolar in this time began to disclose his plans to Aongais who told the Chieftans all of whom made a determination to save ERs kingdom from any encroachment from Iolar.

Ir ws held in much affection and was a good student of the precepts of Eolus.

While Blat was presiding in Deas the oldest child, Erac m Eber came of agea and the chiefs demanded he should have rule of his kingdom.

Blat refused to deny the young man in favor of his brother Iolar but delacared himself to be of the race of Er and called himself Amergen [begotton of Er].

Amergen continued to rule Deas over the objections of the chiefs alledly to 'help' the young prince Erac.

Amergen shortly thereafter married Cora Lugads sister.

This disturbed Iolar who still had ambitions to rule all Errion and he delared Erac the rightful ruler of Deas and induced the Deas cheifs to place Erac on their throne over the regent Amergean.

While this was ongoing Er m Cier also came of agea and his chieftans gave him his rightful rule.

The Comfear also gathered to make rules conserning the aboriginals and the children of the soil where Amagean was presiding as Ard Cromfear.
Tirac a captain of an armed band came to the place killed Amergean than went on his way.

The priests buried Blat in a carn calling it Breug because Iolar treachery and falseness.
They elected Eriel m Iolar Ard cromfear.

Erac was elected ruler of Deas by his chieftains which waqs not the outcome Iolar had hoped for.

He became melancholy, sank gradualy and died after 13 years as king of the north central.
A carn was raised.

His sons did not summon Gaalens chiefs but combined among themselves.
These were Mumna, Luigue and Laisen.

As Erial their brother had been elected ARdcromfer they elected to rule one after another for a year each which they did.

When Mumna the first of Iolars sons to rule delcared himself Ermoin Erac petitioned Ir to declare himself over Mumnas claim.
However his advisor chiefs Aongais and Aod along with his ollam Togar sent a message that Er should remain in his own Tanasteac and relm and they sent this reply to Erac at Deas.

The other 2 brothers Luigne and Laisne also delclard themselves Ermoin in their turn.

When Laisne was Ermoin in 988 BC he challenged the border of Deas with his.
Both he with the Gaalen of the north central and Erac with he Deas came to that spot Laise bearing a staff.

Erac asked him why he came to hunt there but Laise answered he had come to keep the children of Eber from straying byond their kingdom.

On this Erac struck him a blow on the head with his staff and than continued to beat the Ermoin Laise with his staff until Laise became unconsious on the ground.

The men of Deas with Eran brother of Erac began to contend with the Gaalen with their staves over Laises unconsious body until he was killed by their stomping on him.

His brother Luigne also was killed at which the men of Gaalen fled under the taunts of the Deas.

Erac than sounded a trumpet placed the 2 bodys in a cirlce.
He stood in the middle vented his hatred for the killing of his father Eber against them and had the bodies cast inot the water.

He than went home to Deas with his men.

melesian settlement 1000 Ad

2008-06-23T13:51:00.001-07:00

The beginning settlements

When the Melesians had won the battle over the Dananns with the aid of the enslaved Cloden Fir Builg a settlement of the land was made by treaty whereby the De Danaans were given land west of the Shannon (Connact).
They agreed to pay a tribute to the conquerers.
This treaty was arranged with interpreters of the GaalSciat who had been found dwelling among the Danaan and had leared the language.
The status of these individuals is not defined as to whether they were captives of the Danaan or traders remaining in the country to conduct trade with other tribes and nations.

the treaty was signed june 2, recorded in the Cronicles of the Gaal and a stone raised a t the site of Mag Mortiomna as testament to the settlement.

Neither the Fir Builg nor the Danaan had any knowledge of the lore of Baal the sun as did the entering conquring Gaal Sciat Eber.

After the treaty was struck with the Danaans and they departed west of the Shannon a peace ensued.
Marcac pitched his tents in this plain of the testament with all Eber arranged around him.
He remained so encamped until September 2 while the Danaans moved across the river Shannon.

He than elected to transverse the land and inspect it.
It was decided that they should remain a force in case the Danaans might revolt and therefore it was decided to divide this force into 3 parts, columns within call by trumpet of each other and to march in unison towards the north.

They began this progresss in October.

Marcac Eber marched along the east bank of the Shannon.
Blath in the middle and Iolar to his right in the east.

The women and children marched each with their own tribe.

The Firbuilg acted as there guides pointing out roads [Batar] and trails.

When they came to a river that was not fordable carpenter construction crews made a pontoon bridge.

Marcac had burned the 3 ships in which the Naoi Madeis or Nomands had arrived from Galicia.

When they came to the north mountain at the extemity of the world where they found remanents of their own race the gall of Eber.
These people gave them food from their produce.

Marcac not being able to cross the wave to the carn of the fallen Cier father of Ir he cried out
'May the spirit of Cier be immortal" and called the river Iber in memory of this son of Iber Cier.

They than went west to the Seanaman to the sourse of that stream and than went to the Atlantic ocean[ Donegal] and than norht to the north sea side and thence back to the plain of MorTiomna.

Now certain that the ocean surrounded the land and that it was an island.

Marcac Eber then convened an assembly.
He proposed the land should be named ER Rion [portion of Er]
He proposed the territory should be divided.

He Maarcac had been elected King in Gaalag at Asturia by the nobles but stated that ErRion was not Gaalag.
the cromfear elected Blait m Gollam m Meles Ardcromfear.

After 9 days the assembly met again and Iber marcac addressed them.

Blait arose and suggested the land be divided betwen Iber and Iolar sons of Gollam.
He also was an equal decendant but was Ardfcromfear and as such his portion would be Baal.

The chiefs and nobles however beat opon their shields and raised a shout calling Ciers name and spirit.
The spirit of Cier still lived in his son Er.

They demanded the child be given a share.
Aengus [ Aeneas] a Chief took the childs hand and part.

Bliat said the child was not old enough to rule however Aengus suggested a regent for him.
the Chiefs called for protection from Eber for this orphan boy.

Eber divided the territory to 3 parts [kingdoms] and cast the die [ dice].
the nobles objected asking Eber to chose first.
Eber refused saying only by lot would he recive his due.

The south Deas fell to Iber.
The furtheest south to Lugad m Ith.
He was the first Bard of the new land making his settlement looking out over the grat Atlantic Sea.
Iolar took the center and Ir recieved the far north to the North sea coast.

A reservationw as made for the Firgneath between Ir and the Danaan [ Leitrim area]
The Chieftans, Ollams, Cromfears, Poets , Bards and all Gaal were assigned a portaion in these kingdoms 3.

Iber and Iolar had contention over their boundries.

They unsheathed their swords in internicine strife and Eber was slaine.
He was buried where he fell.
Ce io siol called Cashel.
It was named by Lugad.

Ordac the Ardollam left Deas after this amd went to Ir m Cier taking with him the writings of Eolus and the Gaal Cronicles that had preserved the geneologys and adventures [Ectra] from the days of ArdFear and Naoi the protogenator of the race.

pre melisian inhabitants

2008-06-22T06:56:00.003-07:00

The early history of habitation of Ireland bearing several names throughout history seems to be called Elga in 1969 BC when it was covered in dense forest occupied by a copper colored race called savages, the duine fianin known as the Tarbanan or Turani.

About 200 years after this tribe was discovered to be in occupation and discribed as the aboriginies a Barrtalon appeared off the east coast and established a colony there with his 4 sons, Lir, Orba, Fearna and Feargna.

This colony was located at Binn na Dair ,today Howth.
It was allledgedly the firt shelter ever built in
Eire.
Barrtalon also called Partalon seems to have come from S Western Europe or Sycily and is alleged to have set sail from him homeland because he had killed his father, a partracide.
He had several battles with the aboriginal tribes living in the great forests who carried on incessant guerilla warfare with these invadors killing and torturing them when captured including women and children and the old.
Eventually Barrtalon was mortally wounded by the native people and died.
He is buried at the foot of Binn A Dair..
A dair is an oak tree; a binn a gable of a house or a peak.
In this case it could be that Barrtalon was buried at the end of his shelter house under an oak tree or at the bottom of the peak of the mountain of oak trees.
I would favor the lawn near his dwelling.

Th colony was able to continue in Elga for 300 years more until 1469 BC when it was wiped out by an unidentified plague.

However in Barrtalons lifetime his 4 sons were able to establish their own eastern towns along the coast and rule over them.

The colony however met with other misfortunes during this time including continued attacks from aboriginal tribes.

There is no record of intermarriage with the Tarbanan or children begot of them.

When the colony died out or left the island than discribed as Fodla [day sod]
their continetal relatives the Nebog came with 34 ships in 1469 BC to establish a new colony.
Nebog bought with him his queen Maca and 4 sons Starn, Iarbanel, Annin and Phyrrus [Fiarrus].

This new colony was started in the norht beginning with a battle with the ntives.
They were superior in arms and gained victory establishing their colony.

After 12 years Maca the Queen died in 1457 BC and is buried on a hill called Ard Maca or Armagh now a town and county in the 6 counties detached from the rest of Ireland by treaty.

In this period battles were fought with the natives in several localtions in Elga.

Mt Blaoine and Rosfraocm in the west where Gan and Ganan 2 chiefs of the natives were killed by Nebog.

In a 3rd battle Nebogs oldest son Starn was killed and Nebog mortaly wounded.
this disaster lead to evacuation of the north colony back to Airmuirce [Armorica]
or Ceiltag In Irish Coilltagac.

After this exodus of Nebogs people approximatly 100 years after they came to Fodla a group came from Bruitan the Firgneath or Fir Builg.

These were an army of 5000 or so with 5 major chieftains
Ruidruide, Gan. Ganand, Siangean and Slaigne who was made king.

Their names indicate they were probably a kindred people of the native aboriginal tribes living in the forest coovering Elga from time immemorial.

These army forces established 5 Cuig d Triat the 5 Provinces or divisions of land.

All told they had 9 kings over a period of 80 years bringing this time to approximately 1269BC when the Tuatahal De Danaan came from Ceitag [Armorica]underNuagad or Nuadat or Nuada.

This prince lost his right hand in the 1st battle of Mag Tuired agains the Fir Builg and was than called Nuadat Airgeadlam
Nuada silver hand.

The Fir Builg king at this time was Eoga who was killed and the Fir Builg than fled the field.

The Fir Builg were than made slaves by the De Danaans and held in severe bondage later called the cloden.

These people are discribed as the Cegaal Firgneath or the native people and as this also appear as an army from Bruitan it would give credence to the theory that the 2 islands now called England/Scotland and Ireland were inhabited by tribes of some common ancestor not the united kingdom than or now.

The De Danaans are alleged to have had 7 kings Nuada being the first followed by Cainte or Ilodanac by his knowlege of stratagy and skills.
He united the Danaan and incorporated the defeated Firgneath into drilled companies of men in ther mountain and forests and desert places wher they had fled rather than be held as slaves by the conquerors the de Danaan.

He was known to them as the chief of the Marcra Sid , Knights of the Hill.

These forces later came to the command of the Danaan kings to fight for them and may have been the origin of the style 'free tribes' or the kerns.

Cian Mic or grandson of Cianti continued the kingship and his son Lugaid Lamfada of the longhand who was the meic great grandson of Nuadat.

The Irish geneology and statistics were kept by the 4 generations of descent from an ancestor to his great grandhildren or a meic.

At this point the eligibility to inherit eithe power titles or land ends.
The great great grandchild begins a new sept an 'iar' and becomes thier own fine or family.

The remaining kings after Lugaid are not named but were basically
Dagda,Delbiot,Fiaga and Breas.

The 9th line which would be an Iar or a new sept were the last Danaan kings
Eatur m Coil, Teattur m Ceuct, Ceatur m Greine.
The wood the plow and the sun.

Their wives respectvelyw were Banba, Fodla and Eire
who were the holders of the power and land when It arrived from Gallica in north Spain around 1169 BC bringing in the Melisian invasion which prevailed as the Gaelic Order till 1607 AD when its last chiefs O Neill and o Donnell fled from the machinations of James I or James IV of Scotland and England.

The time element of rule by both the Firgneath from Bruitan and the Danaan from AirMuireCe[Armorica]
is not known exactly but it probably consists of 4x120+30= 270 years and 7 kings would be 120-90 or 210 years.

As the Danaan kings list from Nuada include 9 kings, the turs ruling together thier surzanity would equal 270 years. [a tur is a tower]

Taking the usual Irish mythology # of 300 years the rule of the Firgneath and the Danaans would run from the beginning of the rule of Starn, Iobat of the Nebog colony to be around 1069 AD.
The 1st king of the Melisains is listed as Iolar 1004BC.
This would create a 65 year gap between the landing and displacement of the Danaans before an Ermoin was permently established.

However if we accpt the date of 80 years for the Firgneath de Bruitan kings as 80 years and the 7 Danaan kings also 80 years making 160 years from 1369-160 years makes the year 1209 as being the date of the Melisian Invasion from Gallicia Spain.

This more or less corelates with the primary sourse of written history prepared by John J O Carroll at Chicago Illinois in 1901 in which he seems to translate from old Irish copy tracts.

This book of tranlation of a cronolgical record he entitles An Authentic History of Ireland or Firsgeul na n Errion.
No introduction or verification of this manuscript is enclosed althought these tracts were oviously available in the United States.

We know not the original writer or if medieval copys still exist.

This work is the only cronical I have found at University level which discribes the people and activities of Ireladn from the entry of the Gaalag till the Christian era 6BC-1AD where it ends with Craobtan Nia Nair m Lugaid Raib n Derg Ard king 6-BC.

The children of Bile were Ith, Ocaid and Gollam[Meles]

Ith is also listed as a child of Bregon m Brata as well indicating a marriage between tribes of Bile and Bregunn.

The Melisian kings are basiclly drawn from the grandchildren of these unions from Gallicia and Asturia along the bay of Biscay in Spain.

Ir or Er was the child of Cier who had been drowned at the invasion and grandson of Lugad m Ith.

Gollams sons were Iolar, Blath and Eber Marcac.

These came into Elga along with Lugad m Ith with Cein and Colba who were drowned with their crews.

Within a year of the landing victory and divison between the tribal princes Iolar the eagle killed his brother Eber Marcac.
