When Tuathal had subdued the revolting clans, he is said to have founded a new province called Midhe or ” Meath,” by cutting off portions of the other provinces. The centre of this new Kingdom was the palace of Tara (Cej.rii.Aif), while other royal palaces were those of Uisneach, Tlachtgha (the Hill of Ward), and Taillte (Teltown). To Tuathal may therefore be ascribed the foundation of the Kingdom of Meath, and the establishment of the great dynasty of Tara, which ruled the clans of the great open plain from the sea to the Shannon, and afterwards sent out branches to rule over the clans of more than half of Ireland.
