The feud between Clann Cholmáin and the Síl nÁedo Sláine of the early 7th century had ended in victory for the Síl nÁedo Sláine who dominated the high kingship of Ireland in the second half of the 7th century. They began to feud among themselves, and Clann Cholmain was caught up in the feud as well. In 662, a member of the cousin line of Clann Cholmáin Bicc, Fáelchú mac Máele Umai was slain at the Battle of Ogamain fighting on the side of Conaing Cuirre mac Congaile of Cnogba and Blathmac mac Áedo Sláine (died 665) while fighting the adherents of Diarmait mac Áedo Sláine (died 665).[7]
Diarmait himself was killed in 689 as part of the old feud by Áed mac Dlúthaig (died 701) of the Fir Cúl Breg sept of Síl nÁedo Sláine. Áed's grandfather Ailill Cruitire mac Áedo Sláine was slain in battle by Diarmait's grandfather Conall Guthbinn in 634.[8]
According to the Book of Leinster [2], Conall Guthbinn was killed by the High King Fínsnechta Fledach mac Dúnchado (died 695) of Brega.[9]
