One of these, Colla Uais, was king of Ireland for four years before being deposed by Muireadhach Tireach. Upon the return of the Three Collas, they carved a large new territory called Airgialla from the northern territory of the Uladh. The Annals of the Four Masters were compiled in the Franciscan monastery of Donegal, by Michael, Conary, and Cucogry O'Clery, and by Ferfesa O'Mulconry, who are now commonly known as the Four Masters. They began their work in 1632, and completed it in 1636. The Annals of the Four Masters was translated by Dr. John O'Donovan in the 19th century. It was published in seven large volumes. Excerpts from the Annals 323 AD - The first year of Colla Uais, son of Eochaidh Doimhlen, as king over Ireland. 326 AD - The fourth year of Colla Uais, in the sovereignty of Ireland, when Muireadhach Tireach expelled him and his brothers into Alba Scotland with three hundred along with them. 327 AD - The first year of Muireadhach Tireach in the sovereignty of Ireland. At the end of this year the three Collas came to Ireland; and there lived not of their forces but thrice nine persons only. They then went to Muireadhach, having been instructed by a druid. And they scolded at him, and expressed evil words, that he might kill them, and that it might be on him the curse of the finghal should alight. As he did not oppose them, they tarried with him, and were faithful to him. 331 AD - The battle of Achadh Leithdheirg, in Fearnmhagh, was fought by the three Collas against the Ulstermen, in which fell Fearghus Fogha, son of Fraechar Foirtriun, the last king of Ulster, who resided at Eamhain. They afterwards burned Eamhain, and the Ulstermen did not dwell therein since. They also took from the Ulstermen that part of the province extending from the Righe and Loch nEathach westwards. Colla Meann fell in this battle. |
