The '''Western Kingdom of the Levantines''' ({{wp|Latin}}: ''Regnum Levantorum Occidentalis'') or the '''Western Levantine Kingdom''' was a successor state of [[Conchobar I|Conchobar's]] [[Levantine Empire|Levantine Empire]] created by the empire's division among the three sons of [[Brian III|Emperor Brian III]] in 917. The western kingdom was given to Brian III's youngest son, [[Aemon the Unworthy|Aemon]], who ruled the kingdom until his death in 947. It would then be inherited by Aemon's only son, [[Lorcan the Last|Lorcan]], who would rule the kingdom until 978 when the now greatly diminished realm was dissolved after Lorcan was captured during a rebellion by the kingdom's {{wp|Scottish people|Carnish}} and {{wp|Gaels|Gaelic}} vassal lords. | The '''Western Kingdom of the Levantines''' ({{wp|Latin}}: ''Regnum Levantorum Occidentalis'') or the '''Western Levantine Kingdom''' was a successor state of [[Conchobar I|Conchobar's]] [[Levantine Empire|Levantine Empire]] created by the empire's division among the three sons of [[Brian III|Emperor Brian III]] in 917.

In 995, [[Duncan the Great|Duncan]], petty king of [[Kingdom of Dunaird|Dunaird]], succeeded in uniting the numerous Carnish lords under his rule. With the Carnish lords once again united under a single ruler, Duncan founded the [[Kingdom of Carna]] becoming its first king and beginning more than a millennia of independent Carnish rule. The founding of the Kingdom of Carna caused Lorcan's eldest son, [[Brian of Colgar|Brian]], to abandon his claim to the lands west of the newly reformed Levantine Empire, recognising that any attempt to re-establish the Western Levantine Kingdom would now be unlikely to succeed. | In 995, [[Duncan the Great|Duncan]], petty king of [[Kingdom of Dunaird|Dunaird]], succeeded in uniting the numerous Carnish lords under his rule.
