as we saw, had a shadowy right to alternate succession at Cashel ; but 

 their successful attempt to annex the southern part of Connaught 

 (the later Thomond) drew them northward to Singland by 430 ; to 

 Killaloe by 680 (and to Clonroad by 1230), losing their hold on Cashel 

 till the days of the great sons of Kennedy — Mahon and Brian, 950. 

 They paid no dues to Cashel, save the heroic right alluded to in a poem 

 of Cormac mac Cuillenan, king and bishop of Cashel, ante 902 : — 



It is the privilege of the hosts of Lughad's race 



To lead the hattalions of the host of Mumhan, 



And afterwards to be in the rear 



In coming from a hostile land. 



It is not fealty that is required of them, 



But to preserve the freedom of Cashel. 



It is not rent — it is not tribute— as has been heard, 



It is not fosterage or fosterage fee."^
