O'Heerin
O'Heerin () is an Irish surname meaning "grandson or descendant of Uidhrin" ("little grey"). The O'Heerin clan of Leinster originates in the ancient Kingdom of Uí Failghe corresponding to the modern County Offaly, the territory given by the second-century king Cathair Mór to his eldest son Ros Failgeach. Uidhrin O'Maelmuire was an 11th-century Ui Neill chief ruling Cenél Fearadhaigh, now the barony of Clogher in County Tyrone in Northern Ireland. His son and grandson also ruled as chiefs, before Mac Cathmhaoil in the 12th century. It is unknown if these chiefs were related to the Leinster clan. The name next appears with the historian Giolla na Naomh Ó hUidhrín (O'Heerin) who died in 1420. His addition to Seán Mór Ó Dubhagáin (O'Dugan)'s " Triallam timcheall na Fodla" commences with "Tuilleadh feasa ar Éirinn óigh Tuilleadh feasa ar Éirinn óigh ("More knowledge on the entirety of Ireland") is a medieval Gaelic- Irish topographical text, composed by Giolla na Naomh ...

Leinster
Leinster ( ; or ) is one of the four provinces of Ireland, in the southeast of Ireland. The modern province comprises the ancient Kingdoms of Meath, Leinster and Osraige, which existed during Gaelic Ireland. Following the 12th-century Norman invasion of Ireland, the historic "fifths" of Leinster and Meath gradually merged, mainly due to the impact of the Pale, which straddled both, thereby forming the present-day province of Leinster. The ancient kingdoms were shired into a number of counties for administrative and judicial purposes. In later centuries, local government legislation has prompted further sub-division of the historic counties. Leinster has no official function for local-government purposes. However, it is an officially recognised subdivision of Ireland and is listed on ISO 3166-2 as one of the four provinces of Ireland. "IE-L" is attributed to Leinster as its ''country sub-division'' code. Leinster had a population of 2,858,501 according to the prelim ...

Ros Failgeach Mac Cathair Mór
Rus Failge (''fl.'' AD 507–514), also known as Ros Failgeach, was the King of the Uí Failge of what became County Offaly. As the eponymous ancestor of the Uí Failge, he may be the son of the high king of Ireland, Cathair Mór, said to have lived in the early 2 cd century. This is the ancestor listed in the genealogies, though chronologically impossible. The ''Book of Leinster'' king list names an early king Failge Rot mac Cathair. The Uí Failge appear to have had an early leadership among the Laigin tribes. This is testified by the early Irish poem ''Timna Cathaír Máir'' ("The Testament of Cathair Mór) where Rus Failge is given the succession to his father. Failge appears as the opponent of Fiachu mac Néill of the Ui Neill, founder of the Cenél Fiachach branch. In 507 Fiachu was defeated by Failge at the Battle of Frémainn (Frewin Hill, near Mullingar, County Westmeath). Fiachu had a false prophecy that he would win this battle and desired revenge.
