Lebor Gabála Érenn (Macalister), Vol. 5

p. 331 Thereafter Feidlimid Rechtmar took the kingship of Ireland, in the reign of Marcus Antoninus, against Cú Corb, twice; Cú Corb fell the third time in battle, resisting the Boroma, at the hands of Feidlimid Rechtmar.

p. 367 Then Diarmait son of Fergus Cerrbél son of Conall Cremthainn son of Níall Naí-giallach took the kinghip of Ireland for the space of twenty-two years, and set many battles for the sake of the Boroma, till Ailill son of Dúnlaing king of Laigin fell at his hands, and he exacted the Boroma by force. Then the strength of Cormac son of Ailill king of Laigen increased, and he said that he would not pay the Boroma but would give battle. Thereafter Diarmait convened an assembly of Leth Cuinn with him against the Laigen, and the battle of Dún Masc was waged against the Laigen and it was empty after the rout of its people. The king of Laigen went out from the battle. So Diarmait exacted the Boroma so long as he lived without a battle.

The History of Ireland (Geoffrey Keating), Vol. 2

pp. 257-259 It was this Tuathal Teachtmhar of whom we are speaking who imposed, the Boraimhe on the people of Leinster, as a tax to avenge the death of his two daughters, whose names were Fithir and Dairine. Now, there was a king over Leinster whose name was Eochaidh Aincheann, and he married Dairine, daughter of Tuathal Teachtmhar, and took her to Leinster to his own fortress, that is to Magh Luadhat; and some time after that he went to Tara and told Tuathal thatDairine had died, and asked him to give him his other daughter, that is Fithir, and Tuathal gave her to him, and he took her to Leinster to his own fortress; and when Fithir saw her sister Dairine alive before her, her soul quitted her body suddenly through shame; and Dairine having come to lament her died of her grief on the spot. And it was to relate this that the poet composed the following stanza:

Fithir and Dairine
Two daughters of princely Tuathal;
Fithir died of shame,
Dairine died of her grief.

Now when Tuathal heard of the death of the two ladies he became enraged, and sent out messengers in all directions to the nobles of Ireland to complain of the treachery which the king of Leinster had practised against him; and accordingly the nobles of Ireland gave aid in warriors and auxiliaries to Tuathal with a view to avenge this outrage; and when Tuathal resolved to plunder and despoil the people of Leinster though they were unable to meet him in the field, they agreed to pay a tribute, themselves, and their descendants to Tuathal, and to each king who should succeed him, as a retribution for the death of these ladies.
The following is the amount of the tribute that was paid every second year by the Leinstermen to the kings of Ireland as a penalty for the death of the children of Tuathal, namely, three score hundred cows, three score hundred ounces of silver, three score hundred mantles, three score hundred hogs, three score hundred wethers, three score hundred bronze caldrons. And this tribute was thus divided:—a third part of it to the men of Connaught, a third to the Oirghialla, and a third to the Ui Neill. The tract entitled Boraimhe Laighean speaks thus in the following verses:

Three score hundred kine with spancels,
Gifts without fault,
With three score hundred ounces
Of silver in addition.

With three score hundred fine mantles
Of largest measure,
With three score hundred large hogs
Of lusty strength,

With three score hundred wethers,
Generous gift,
With three score hundred brazen caldrons
As a bright ornament.

A third part to the men of Connaught,
The ancient law,
A third part to the Oirghilla,
A third to the Ui Neill.

This was the tribute called Boraimhe Laighean, and it was in force during the reigns of forty kings who ruled Ireland, that is from the time of Tuathal Teachtmhar to the time that Fionnachta held the sovereignty of Ireland as the poet says in this stanza:

There were forty kings
Who carried off the Boromha
From the time of Tuathal Tlachtgha
To the time of Fear Fionnachta.

It was Moling who got it remitted by means of the respite until Monday which he got from Fionnachta; but the Monday Moling meant was the Monday of the Day of Judgment. The Leinstermen paid this tribute submissively at times, but at other times they would not consent to pay it, whence arose much strife and conflict between both parties, in which a great number of the nobles of Ireland fell on either side.

The History of Ireland (Geoffrey Keating), Vol. 3

p. 39 It was against Laoghaire that the Leinstermen and Criomhthann, son of Eanna, fought the Battle of Ath Dara, wherein Laoghaire was made prisoner by them, and he gave the sun and moon and stars as sureties that he would fulfil his promise not to exact the Boraimhe from them; but he did not fulfil this promise in their regard. However, to avenge this falsehood Laoghaire was soon afterwards killed by a lightning flash at Greallach Dabhaill beside the Lithfe, as the poet says:

Laoghaire, son of Niall, died
Beside Lithfe, green its land,
The elements of God whose guarantee he had violated
Inflicted the fate of death on the king.

p. 115 It was while Aodh son of Ainmire, held the sovereignty of Ireland that Brandubh, son of Eochaidh, son of Muireadhach, son of Aonghus, son of Feidhlimidh, son of Eanna Cinnsealach, was king of Leinster for one year. And he and the Leinstermen slew Aodh son of Ainmire, in the Battle of Bealach Duin Bolg.

p. 139 Fionnachta Fleadhach, son of Donnchadh, son of Aodh Slaine, of the race of Eireamhon, held the sovereignty of Ireland seven years; and in his reign many banquets and feasts used to take place in Ireland, hence he is called Fionnachta Fleadhach.

p. 141 Here is a stanza that Adhamnan composed for Fionnachta when he remitted the Boraimhe to Molaing:

Fionnachta, son of Donnchadh,
Remitted much to a saint:
Thrice fifty hundred chained cows,
And each cow with her calf.

Soon after that Fionnachta, king of Ireland, was slain by Aodh, son of Duitheach, and by Conghalach, son of Conaing, at Greallach Doluidh.

Vol 2, p. 182 Brandub son of Eochaid, king of Leinster, was slain by Saran, a Leinsterman. ‘This is grievous to me,’ said Moeog, ‘(he was) the head of the poor, and the protector of the weak; and may the hand fall off that smote that true hero.’ Moeog went to Ferns, and proceeded to the tomb of Brandub. ‘Arise,’ said he, ‘in the name of Jesus, and rule thy kingdom.’ Brandubh came forth from the grave, and joined Moeog. ‘Bring me not back to this frail world,’ said he, ‘let me go to heaven now.’ He made his confession to Moeog, who permitted him to go to heaven.
Saran then lay down on Brandub’s grave in deep penitence, and with bitter weeping. His hand fell off from him, as Moeog had previously requested; and he was a good man afterwards till at last he died.

Vol. 2, pp. 223-224 Once upon a time the king of Ireland, Aed son of Ainmire, accompanied by a great force and the king of Connaught, and the northern part of Ireland, with their under-kings, and high chiefs, came to invade and harry Leinster in revenge for the killing of Cumascach son of Ainmire by the Leinstermen on a previous occasion. That is to say, Cumascach, as heir apparent, went on progress in Leinster; and whatever place he came to, he insisted that the lady of the place should be at his disposal during the time of his stay.
He went to the place of Brandub son of Eochaid, and insisted on having his wife to share his bed like other women. So Cumascach was slain by the king of Leinster for this offence; and it was on this account that Aed son of Ainmire invaded Leinster to avenge him; and he would not accept gift or payment from them, but (was determined) to destroy and exterminate them altogether. The king of Leinster then came to his patron and chief soul-friend (confessor), Maedoc the wonder-worker of Ferns, and made his complaint and accusation to him. Maedoc said: ‘There is many a saint and good devout man serving God instantly in thy territory,’ said he, ‘and they must needs intercede for thee. Go then,’ said Maedoc, ‘with strong protection to the battle, confiding in thine own saints and holy ecclesiastics, and I will be zealously on thy side.’
Maedoc made mighty supplication and instant prayer to God on behalf of his earthly lord, Brandub, son of Eochaid. Brandub set out eagerly on the morrow, with firm confidence in God and Maedoc, to fight against the high king of Ireland and the northern division. It is related, moreover, that there were 24,000 cavalry engaged in the battle, besides footmen and fine infantry. So the battle of Belach Duin Bolc was fought between them; and the victory was gained by the king of Leinster on the spot, and the king of Ireland, Aed son of Ainmire, was killed there, and an innumerable company of nobles and gentry of Ireland with him, through the favour of God, and the miracles of Maedoc at that time.
