In this Breasal's time a numerous colony of the Her- emonian sept poured into Ulster, overcame the natives, and forced a great part of the country from them; where they settled and called *Dal Fiatach* (from their leader Fiatach Fionn), whereof the chiefs were styled kings, and sometimes of all Ulster ; and there continued for some generations, till at length they were extirpated by the natives ; when some of them settled in *Laeighis (or Leix), now the Queen's County ; and some of them in Munster.* On Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 1:22 PM, Bernard Morgan <bernardmorgan@hotmail.com>wrote: > > >From Keating's History of Ireland: > "In the reign of his nephew Art, Cuchorb, king of Leinster, was reduced to > great distresses by the Mamonians.
