Domnall Brecc "the Speckled"

Andre Hendelser og Egenskaper:

• Yrke: Konge av Scotland

Notater:

Domnall Brecc succeeded to the kingship in 629, when his predecessor, Connad Cerr, was killed in Ireland after a three month reign.

Domnall was either incompetent, unlucky or both; he never won a battle. His first defeat came in 635 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 Dal Riata completely lost control of their Irish possessions. It was probably about this point that Domnall was demoted to the position of joint king with his third cousin Ferchar, son of Connad Cerr. Domnall was defeated yet again, 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 king Ferchar.

Eochaid Buide "Yellow-Haired" succeeded to the kingship upon his father's death in 606. All his older brothers had been killed.

Acceded about 574. Consecrated by his cousin St. Columba. In 575 Aedan attended the Convention of Druim Cett in Ireland, which apparently convened to decide the political relationship between Dal Riata and the kings of the Northern Ui Neill in Ireland, whose power was growing. In 581 he led an expedition to the Orkney islands, and he won a victory at the Isle of Man in the following year. In 590, he won a battle against the Maetae, his British neighbours, but lost two of his sons in the battle. In 596, in the first battle between Scots and English, two more of his sons were slain. In 600, he lead an army against the English of Northumbria, but was decisively defeated at Degsastan. He was victorious in a battle against the Picts sometime between 596 and 606.

Aedan's wife, Domnach was a daughter of Maelgwyn (Malgo) Hir "the Tall", Ruler of Gwynedd (shown elsewhere in this genealogy. He actually had at least three wifes, seven sons and several daughters, but names of all are not known.
