  85. Loich Mor
  86. Eanna Muncain
  87. Dearg Theine; He had a competitor, Darin, in the Kingdom of Munster, of the line of Ithe. Ithe was the uncle of Milesius and the first (Milesian) discoverer of Ireland. They took turns being Monarch with the other one being governor of civil affairs.

  91. Olioll Olum. His second son, Cormac Cas, branches off to BRIAN BORU. Olioll Married the daughter of Conn, who had slain his father. She was a widow of a chief of Conn’s territory and her son demanded of Olioll that he should benefit from the agreement of their ancestors. Olioll refused and banished Maccon out of Ireland. He retired to Scotland and there soon collected a strong party of friends and relations. With the help of his Ireland relations he made war upon Olioll. The Monarch Art-Ean-Fhear’s forces joined Olioll in the great and memorable battle against Maccon at Magh Mucromha, near Athenry, where Art and seven of Olioll’s nine sons,by Sabina, died. Their army was totally defeated. By this victory, Maccon recovered his right to the Kingdom of Munster, and became Monarch for 30 years, leaving the Kingdom of Munster to his stepfather Olioll Olum, undisturbed. Olioll had two sons left, Cormac Cas and Cian. Olioll learned that after the death of his son Owen Mor, a son had been born to him named Feach. From Cormac Cas came the O’Briens, MacMahons, O’Kennedys and other nobility of Thomond. From Owen Mor came M’Carthy, O’Sullivan, O’Keeffe, and the nobility of Desmond. From Cian came O’Carroll, O’Meagher, O’Hara, O’Gara, etc.

Offering to plant his Staff, or Crozier in the ground, the Saint accidently pierced the foot of Aeneas, whereby he lost much blood; but thinking this was a part of the ceremony, he patiently endured it until the Saint was done. (But this same story is also told:”Eochaidh, son of Fiachra, son of Eoghan, was baptised with Eoghan; during the ceremony the Apostle’s Staff is said to have accidently pierced the naked foot of the prince.”)
