The Ui Cinnsealaigh were inaugurated as kings of Leinster at a place called Cnoc-an-Bhogha, attended by O'Nolan, who was the King's Marshal, and Chief of Forth in Carlow; by O'Doran, Chief Brehon of Leinster; and by MacKeogh, their Chief Bard.

    The major Leinster families begin to split off at this point.
