The first king was Aengus Osrithe (fl. 2nd c.) In the 5th c, the Deisi of Munster conquered the south of the kingdom. In the 7th c, the descendants of Aengus recovered their lands and subsequently were often at war with Leinster. In the 9th century, King Cearbhall (or Cerball; English: Carroll) allied himself with the Norse against both Munster, Leinster, and Meath. His dynasts were later known as the mac Gillápadraig (English: Fitzpatrick), and Donnchad mac Gillápadraig was briefly King of Leinster in the 1030s. Around 1103, the ruling dynasty were slaughtered and the province splintered into thirds. In the 1160s, the King of Leinster Diarmait mac Murchadha conquered half the kingdom, was ousted by Domnall mac Donnchada mac Gillapátraig and fled to Wales, saw his heir blinded by Domnall, and invaded again with the Welsh and Normans. After the Norman invasion, the territory was held first under Strongbow's son Marshall, Earl of Pembroke, then his heirs the Butlers as Earls of Ormonde.
