Eochaidh King of Scots (d. 733)  (son of Eochaidh “Crook Nose”). E ochaidh
became King of Dal Riata in 726, when his Cenel Loairn predecessor wa s
ousted from the kingship.  He survived a Cenel Loairn attack on his
autho rity in 727, led by Selbach son of Ferchar Fota, and managed to hold
his posi tion without challenge until his death in 733. Following
Eochaidh's death, it appears that the kingship was shared between his
brother Alpin, and Muiredac h, the Cenel Loairn claimant, until the Dal
Riata was subjugated by Oengus, K ing of the Picts, in 736.
