RESEARCH NOTES:
843-858: King of the Picts and Scots [Ref: Weis AR #170]
King of Picts and Scots [Ref: Moncreiffe p20]

843-858: King of Dalradia and Scots [Ref: Tapsell p180] last King of Picts
(Drust) ended reign in 848 [Ref: Tapsell p179]

839-840: seized the kingship of Dal Riata, and made a bid for the kingship of
the Picts. Legends suggest he achieved this by trechery, slaying his Pictish
guests at a feast. Whatever the means, Kenneth defeated his last Pictish
rival by 848 [Ref: Davidson 1995]

united both nations through his Piish royal blood [Ref: Moncreiffe p20]

849: celebrated his victory by building a church dedicated to St. Columba
in his new Pictish lands [Ref: Davidson 1995]

succeeded by his brother, Donald [Ref: Davidson 1995]

In 789, the branch of the Cenel nGabrain represented by the descendants of
Fergus Mac EOCHAID took control of the kingship of the Picts. For the next
fifty years, with the exception of one three year period of joint kingship,
they had a monopoly on its power. Since Fergus' descendants also had a claim
to the kingship of Dal Riata, there are also several examples of individuals
holding the two kingships subsequently or even simultaneously. The Pictish
kingship was the gem of eighth and ninth century Scotland, and the success of
the descendants of Fergus in holding it marginalized other branches of the
Cenel nGabrain. It probably explains why the children and grandchildren of
Aed Find are so obscure. It is probable that they would have disappeared from
recorded history were it not for the disaster which befell the descendants of
Fergus in 839 - The heathens (i.e. Vikings) won a battle against the men of
Foirtriu, and Eoganan son of Eongus (the king of the Picts), Bran son of
Oengus, Aed son of Boanta (the king of Dal Riata) and others almost
innumerable fell there. Eoganan and Bran were grandsons of Fergus, and their
death probably left the descendants of Fergus without a viable candidate to
the kingship, leaving a power vacuum in Scotland. This presented a golden
opportunity for other dynasties to assert their position, and the sons of
Alpin were all to happy to seize the moment. [Ref: Davidson 1995]
