Killed in battle about 643.
Domnall Brecc “the Speckled” King of Scots of Argyll (d. 642) (son of
Eochaidh Buid). Domnall Brecc succeeded to the kingship in 629, when his
predecessor, Conna d Cerr, was killed in Ireland after a 3-month reign.
Domnall was either inco mpetent, unlucky, or both; he never won a
battle. His first defeat came in 6 35 in a battle which was possibly
against the Picts. In 637, he was defeated at the battle of Mag Rath in
Ireland, and from this point on, the Kings of D al Riata completely lost
control of their Irish possessions. It was probably at about this point,
that Domnall was demoted to the position of joint King with his 3rd
cousin Ferchar, son of Connad Cerr. Domnall was defeated yet ag ain,
possibly by the Picts, in 638. He finally met his death in 642, at the
hands of the Britons of Strathclyde. He was succeeded by his joint
Ki ng Ferchar.
