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
