reigned 227-263, he was compared to Solomon so wise and respected was he. He rebuilt and extended palace at Tara, including the Banquet Room known as Teach Mi Chuarta, which was 760 ft. He had a retinue of over 3,000 from all over Europe, including
Gauls, Franks, Romans, Friesians, Caledonians, Picts, and Saxons. He brought the first watermill to Ireland. in 263 his son Cellach insulted a woman of the Deisi and their king Aonghus put out Cormac's eye in battle. A high king can have no blemish
on his person, and he had to step down. He wrote several books in his retirement, although several attributed to him actually were written much later.
Tara is the ancient seat of the Ard Righ. The only thing that survives of it today is the Rath na Rithe "Fort of Kings" which contains the Stone of Fal, which shrieks when the rightful king touches it. At Samhain there was always an assembly of
nobles held. This was the ancient rite of triple killing of the king- wounding, burning, drowning, when a new king was selected. There was another druidic ritual that always happened at tara of king finding called tarbhfhess "bull sleep". This was
where one druid would sacrifice a bull, eat of its flesh, drink a broth in which it was cooked, then sleep, through which 4 druids would chant, and the sleeper would recieve a vision of the next king.
-from _Kingdoms of the Celts: A History and Guide_ by John King 1998.
by Thomas Moore:
The harp that once through Tara's halls
The soul of music shed,
Now hangs as mute on Tara's walls
As if that soul were fled.
So sleeps the pride of former days,
So glory's thrill is o'er,
And hearts that once beat high for praise
Now feel that pulse no more!
No more to chiefs and ladies bright
The harp of Tara swells;
The chord alone that breaks at night
It's tale of ruin tells.
Thus Freedom now so seldom wakes,
The only throb she gives
Is when some heart indignant breaks,
To show that still she lives.
The great High King Cormac macAirt, grandson of Conn of the Hundred Battles, was said to have established a new Royal capitol at the ancient site of Teamhair (Tara). Cormac was ancestor to later generations of Kings and High Kings ruling Gaelic
dynasties of the northern provinces of Connacht, Midhe and Ulster.
In the year 226 AD the battle of Crinna (in Co. Meath) was fought between Cormac mac Airt, king of Ireland, and the Ulstermen under Fergus, son of Imchadh. Cormac defeated the Ulster forces with the assistance of Tadg (or Teige), son of Cian and for
this service the king bestowed on Tadg a large territory which extended from the Liffey (in Dublin) northwards to Drumskin in Co. Louth. Tadg's descendants were called Cianachta i.e. "the race of Cian", from his father and the territory was afterwards
known by this name.
226 AD - Fearghus Duibhdeadach, son of Imchadh, was king over Ireland for the space of a year, when he fell in the battle of Crinna, by Cormac, grandson of Conn, by the hand of Lughaidh Lagha. There fell by him also, in the rout across Breagh, his two
brothers, Fearghus the Long Haired and Fearghus the Fiery, who was called Fearghus Caisfhiaclach of the Crooked Teeth. In the army of Cormac came Tadhg, son of Cian, and Lughaidh, to that battle; and it was as a territorial reward for the battle that
Cormac gave to Tadhg the land on which are the Ciannachta, in Magh Breagh, as is celebrated in other books.
240 AD - The battle of Magh Techt, and the fleet of Cormac sailed across Magh Rein (i.e. across the sea), this year, so that it was on that occasion he obtained the sovereignty of Alba Scotland.
241 AD - These are the battles of Cormac fought against Munster this year: the battle of Berre; the battle of Loch Lein; the battle of Luimneach; the battle of Grian; the battle of Classach; the battle of Muiresc; the battle of Fearta, in which fell
Eochaidh Taebhfada of the Long Side, son of Oilioll Olum; the battle of Samhain, in which fell Cian, son of Oilioll Olum; and the battle of Ard Cam.
241 AD - The massacre of the girls at Cleanfearta, at Teamhair, by Dunlang, son of Enna Niadh, King of Leinster. Thirty royal girls was the number, and a hundred maids with each of them. Twelve princes of the Leinstermen did Cormac put to death
together, in revenge of that massacre, together with the exaction of the Borumha with an increase after Tuathal.
Of all the ancient kings of Ireland, Cormac, who reigned in the third century, is unquestionably considered greatest by the poets, the seanachies, and the chroniclers. His father Art was the son of Conn of the Hundred Battles, and was known as Art the
Lonely, as he had lost his brothers, Connla and Crionna - both slain by their uncles. It was at the court of Lugaid at Tara, that Cormac first distinguished himself, and gave token of the ability and wisdom, which were, afterwards, to mark him the most
distinguished of Eirinn's monarchs.
From his exile in Connaught, Cormac, a green youth , had returned to Tara, where, unrecognised, he was engaged herding sheep for a poor widow. Now one of the sheep broke into the queen's garden, and ate the queen's vegetables. And King Lugaid, equally
angry as his queen, after he heard the case, ordered that for penalty on the widow, her sheep should be forfeit to the queen. To the amazement of Lugaid's court, the herd boy who had been watching the proceedings with anxiety, arose, and, facing the
king, said, "Unjust is thy award, O king, for, because thy queen hath lost a few vegetables, thou wouldst deprive the poor widow of her livelihood?" When the king recovered from his astoundment, he looked contemptuously at the lad, asking scathingly:
"And what, O wise herd boy would be thy just award?" The herd boy, not one little bit disconcerted, answered him "My award would be that the wool of the sheep should pay for the vegetables the sheep has eaten - because both the wool and the green
things will grow again, and both parties have forgotten their hurt." And the wonderful wisdom of the judgement drew the applause of the astounded court. But Lugaid exclaimed in alarm: "It is the judgement of a King." And, the lad's great mind having
betrayed him, he had to flee. He returned and claimed the throne when Lugaid was killed, but at a feast which he gave to the princes whose support he wanted, Fergus Black Tooth of Ulster, who coveted the Ard Righship, managed, it is said, to singe the
hair of Cormac - creating a blemish that debarred the young man temporarily from the throne. And he fled again from Tara, fearing designs upon his life. Fergus became Ard Righ for a year - at the end of which time Cormac returned with an army, and,
supported by Taig, the son of Ciann, and grandson of the great Oilill Olum of Munster, completely overthrew the usurper in the great battle of Crionna (on the Boyne) where Fergus and his two brothers were slain - and Cormac won undisputed possession of
the monarchy. Taig was granted a large territory between Damlaig (Duleek) and the River Liffi, since then called the Ciannachta. He became the ancestor of the O'Hara's, O'Gara's, O'Carroll's, and other now Northern families. In Cormac's time, the world
was replete with all that was good and the food and the fat of the land, and the gifts of the sea were in abundance in this king's reign. There were neither woundings nor robberies in his time, but every one enjoyed his own, in peace. Cormac rebuilt
the palace of Tara, with much magnificence. He built the Teach Mi Chuarta, the great banqueting hall, that was 760 feet by 46 feet, and 45 feet high. Until quite recently, the outline of the foundations of this great hall with the traces of its
fourteen doorways, were still to be observed on Tara Hill. In the Book of Leinster is related "Three thousand persons each day is what Cormac used to maintain in tara; besides poets and satirists, and all the strangers who sought the king; Galls, and
Romans, and Franks, and Frisian, and Longbards, and Albanians and Saxons, and Picts, for all these used to seek him, and it was with gold and with silver, with steeds and with chariots, that he presented them. They used all to come to Cormac, because
there was not in his time, nor before him, any more celebrated in honour, and in dignity, and in wisdom, except only Solomon, the son of David. The remarkable king died in the year 267 - more than a century and a half before the coming of St. Patrick.
By reason of his extraordinary wisdom, the righteousness of his deeds, judgements and laws, he is said to have been blest with the light of the Christian faith seven years before his death. The traditions about Cormac also state that having been
inspired by the faith he made dying request that he should be buried, not with the other pagan kings at their famous burying ground, whence would dawn the holy light that should make Eirinn radiant. Disregarding his dying wish, the Druids ordered that
he should be interred with his ancestors at Brugh of Boyne. But when, in pursuance of this, the bearers were bearing his body across the river, a great wave swept it from their shoulders, down the stream, and cast it up at Ros na Riogh, where,
according to his wish, he was then buried.
