  relative Connad Cerr was killed in Ireland after a three month reign [Ref:

  1995]
  
  635: lost a battle which was possibly against the Picts [Ref: Davidson 1995]
  
  637: he was defeated at the battle of Mag Rath in Ireland, and from this
  point on the kings of Dal Riata completely lost control of their possessions
  [Ref: Davidson 1995]
  
  about 637: demoted to position of joint king with his third cousin Ferchar,
  son of Connad Cerr. [Ref: Davidson 1995]
  
  killed in battle against Britons at Strathcarron [Ref: Moncreiffe p20]
  killed at the battle of Strathcarron [Ref: Weis AR #170] his death was
  triumphantly recorded in one rescension of 'Y Goddodin,' a famous
  seventh-century Old Welsh poem [Ref: Davidson 1995]
