Aed Find "the Fair" was probably re-established independence from Pictish overlordship, and the kingship of Dal Riata, when the Picts were defeated by the Strathclyde British in 750. He was on the offensive against the Picts by 768, when he raided their territory. Nothing else about his reign is recorded. He was succeeded by his brother Fergus upon his death in 778.

Reign: 839-860. Burke calls him Kenneth II. Kings of Picts & Alba. King of Galloway. See Europäisch Stammtafeln Bund II tafel 67.

Within a year after the death of his cousins in 839, it appears that Kenneth seized the kingship of Dal Riata. There is little historical record for the next eight years, but it appears that Kenneth followed in the footsteps of his cousins, and made a bid for the kingship of the Picts. He was resisted, ineffectualy, by a short-lived dynasty bearing Pictish names. Later legends suggest that Kenneth achieved his success through treachery; slaying his Pictish guests at a feast. Whatever his means, Kenneth defeated his last Pictish rival by 848, and in the following year, he celebrated his victory by building a church dedicated to St. Columba in his new Pictish lands.

It is recorded that Kenneth raided England no fewer than six times. He was succeeded by his brother Donald I.

Donald succeeded to the kingship in 889, when the joint-kings Eochaid and Giric were deposed. Little is known of his reign excepting a battle, probably in 893, when he defeated Viking raiders. He was, in turn, killed by another Viking raid in 900. He was the first king to be called 'ri Alban', or 'King of Scots' upon his death. He was succeeded by his cousin Constantine II, who reigned for 43 years, an incredible period for a early medieval king.

Malcolm became King of Scots in 943, when his predecessor Constantine II abdicated and retired to a monastery. Malcolm seems to have enjoyed friendly relations with his English neighbours. It is recorded that King Edmund of England granted Strathclyde to Malcolm in 945 after ravaging it, and whatever agreement they entered into was renewed by Edmund's brother and successor Eadred in 946. The upshot of this agreement seems to have been cooperation with the English in wresting Northumbria from Viking rule. Malcolm invaded Northumbria twice; in 950 and 952.

Malcolm was killed by his own subjects in 954, and was succeeded by his second cousin Indulf.

Kenneth became King of Scots in 971, when his predecessor Cuilen was killed by the Strathclyde Britons. There are some indications that Kenneth had a joint kingship with Cuilen's brother Olaf until 977, when Olaf was killed. Kenneth led successful raids against Strathclyde in both 971 and 972.

In 973, Kenneth attended a conference of kings at Chester, in England, which was probably organized by Edgar, King of England. Kenneth appears to have had a quiet but successful reign and was killed 'by treachery' in 995, and succeeded by Constantine son of Cuilen, a distant cousin.

It is possible that Kenneth married an Irish woman from Leinster, as a twelfth-century Scottish poem calls his son Malcolm 'son of a woman of the Leinstermen'.

Reign 25 Mar 1005-25 Nov 1034. Malcolm became king of Scots in 1005, after killing his cousin and predecessor Kenneth son of Dub in a battle. He led an attack on Durham, England in 1006, but was decisively defeated after the siege was broken. The most important event of his reign was probably the battle of Carham, which occurred in either 1016 or 1018. Malcolm led an invasion of Northumbria, and his victory pushed the Scottish realm well into traditional English territories. An important consequence of the battle was the death of Owen, the last native king of Strathclyde, which, from this point on, was part of the kingdom of the Scots.

A notable external event was Malcolm's meeting with King Canute of England in 1031.

Malcolm had no sons, but he apparently wanted his descendants to rule the Scots, so he tried to revolutionize succession practices by arranging to have one of his grandsons succeed him. To this end, he had competing claimants of the house of Alpin murdered in the early 1030's. Upon his death he was succeeded by his grandson Duncan.
