Immediately after the death of Feidlimidh, monarch of Ireland, son of the great Tuathal, the kings of Ireland assembled at Tara, and Cathair
Mor, king of Leinster, was elected as the new Monarch of Ireland. To support his election, short as his reign was, we find him engaged in many bloody
wars. In the 3rd year of his reign, before he led his troops to the fatal battle of Moigh Acha, in Meath, he made his will, believing he would not survive
the days encounter. He divided his possessions amongst his 30 sons, in a Will called "The Will of Cathair More" (153 AD). His posterity formed the
principal families in Leinster. His will:

1.Ros Failgeach, from who descended the O'Connors (Faley). Given Leinster, 10 shields, swords, cups
2.Daire Barrach, ancestor of O'Gorman. Given Tuath Laighean (Fingal and Dublin). 150 spears, 50 swords, 50 gold rings, 150 cloaks, 7
military standards
3.Bresal Einechglas. 7 ships, 50 shields, 5 swords, 5 chariots and horses, and lands of River Amergin
4.Cetach. Leaves nothing so he won't be separated from his brothers
5.Fergus Luasgan. Leaves nothing but his brothers give him ample possessions
6.Ailill Cethech. Backgammon table and men for lands were of no use to him since he never attended to any study but gaming

11.Landabaria, a daughter who was the 3rd wife of the 110th Monarch, Conn Ceadcathach (Conn of the Hundred Battles), who succeeded Cathair
Mor in the Monarchy
