Initially, the family estates of Wye Honing were located north of the Liffey River [2] , however, by the first half of the 9th century, the territory of North Brega was expanded due to the conquest of the lands of Kiannahty , lying south of Boyne .

During the reign of Kummaskah, the poppy Kongalaig made efforts to strengthen his power over Brega, and also conducted military operations aimed at expanding his lands. According to the Irish annals , in 822, at the battle of Carn Conain, he defeated the army of the Kianahnts of Arda, who lived in the territory of the modern county of Louth . The adversary of Kummaskah, King Evdus poppy Tigernayg, fell on the battlefield, and the lands of Kiannahtov Arda were annexed to Naut [4] . Kummaskah instructed his son Kinaed to rule the conquered territories [5] .

In 837, a large Viking fleet entered the Boyne River. In the battle of Inber-on-mBarque (at the mouth of the river), the Normans defeated the army of Ui Neilov , and then once again ravaged the lands of Brega [11] . However, in 839 they were defeated by the Bregians, and their leader Saksolb died in battle [12] [13] .
