- On the Leinstermen's graves Brian Boru lived in Kincora outside Killaloe, the king of Leinster and his men went to Brian Boru to pay him tribute, and while they were there Brian Boru's son Morrogh and the king of Leinster had a dispute over a game of chess. The king left and Brian Boru sent a messenger after him. He got up to him crossing the bridge from Killaloe to Ballina. The king killed the messenger, when Brian Boru heard it he got very vexed and he followed him.
