      In 1072, "Tairdelbach Ua Briain went to Osraige (Kilkenny) and Laigin (Leinster), burned Uí Cheinnselaig and brought away much booty and cows, and took hostages from it as well as from Laigin. And the foreigners gave him the kingship of Áth Cliath (Dublin), and he made prisoner the sons of Domnall, son of Mael na mBó, in Áth Cliath, and brought back the hostages of Osraige on that occasion." 
      And then, in 1072; "The son of Conchobor Ua Maíl Sechnaill (king of Temuir), Gofraid grandson of Ragnall, i.e. king of Áth Cliath, and Domnall son of Gilla Pátraic, king of Osraige, also submitted to Tairdelbach Ua Briain, king of Mumu, and they gave acknowledgement and high-kingship to him." 
      Turlough O'Brien; (elsewhere known as Tirloch) the grandson of Brian Boru, was styled Monarch of Ireland following his uncle Donnchad's death in Rome in 1074.
