• Notes

  (Second Ancient Monarchs of Ireland) Historians and chroniclers of records pertaining to the history of Ancient Ireland claim that many nations colonized Ireland, which country is as rich, or even richer in monuments of the past than most. the division into provinces, i.e., Ulster, Munster, Leinster and Connaught, appears to be older than the historical period of the island itself. Each province was ruled by its chieftain or king, and over these was an establishd central authority known as Monarch, who ruled at Tara. The "Clan-na-Deaghaidh" settled in Munster a short time before the era of Christianity. They were called "Degadians" for their chief, Deagadh, and Ernans, from Olioll Earon, a Heremonian prince in Ulster, ancestor of Deag. In the second century, Eoghan Mor, of the race of Heber, and maternally descended from the Clan-na-Deaghaidh, was a great warrior. One of his descendants was Cas, King of Thomond, in the fourth century, and their posterity was named Dal Cais, anglicized "Dalcassians," the various families of whom were located chiefly in that part of Tuath-Muimhain, North Munster or Thomond from which the present County Clare was formed. The ruling family of these "Dalcassians" were the O'Briens Kings of Thomond. Ref: J. O'Hart: "Irish Pedigrees," Vol. I, pp. 67-69. O'Halloran: "A Genealogical History from the Earliest Accounts to the Close of the Twelfth Century," Vol. II, p. 402. I. Eoghan Mor or Eugene the Great, was number eight-three in the descent from the Irish Monarchs from Heber Fionn, eldest of three surviving sons of Milesius. He was a wife, prudent and politic prince, as well as a great warrior. (J.'Hart: "Irish Pedigrees, Vol. I, p. 67.) II. Olioll Olum was the first of his line named in the Regal Roll, and reigned as King of both Munsters (North and South). Before his reign there were two septs who ruled North Munster and South Munster, alternately. When Olioll Olum refused to grant Lugardh Maccon the section of Munster to which he was entitled by a former arrangement, a great battle ensued, Lugardh was banished to Britain, where he allied himself with the Britons and other foreign auxiliaries under the command of Beine Briot. When he returned to invade the territory of Munster, nine sons of Olioll were killed in the battle. Oliell Olum, in his will, divided Munster between two of his remaining sons, Eoghan and Cormas Cas, and their descendants, who were to rule alternately.
