Notater:

Was the founder of Dal Riata dynasty of Argyll and Kintyre (Scotland). He came with his brothers, Angus and Loarn, from Ireland and established a settlement in Scotland. Acceded 490.

The Dal Riata, the people from which the Scottish kings are descended from, were originally settled on the north east coast of Ireland. Perhaps as early as the third century, and no later than the fifth century, they began to settle on the west coast of what is now Scotland. It is in the late fifth century that the names begin to take on some historical credibility. In any case, the ruling dynasty of the Dal Riata had established itself in the area corresponding to modern Argyll by the late fifth century. Almost all historians, with one or two notable exceptions, accept unbroken descent from Fergus Mor, the first king of Dal Riata, to the present day. Most historians believe that the long line of Irish Monarchs back to Adam were fabricated by medieval monks. Stuart begins his line with Eochaid Muinremur, Fergus' grand father.

Notater:

King of Scottish Dalriada. Gabran's forces were defeated by the Picts in 558. He died in the same year, and was succeeded by Comgall's son Conall.

Gabran gave his name to the Cenel nGabrain, one of the four divisions of the Dal Riata. Most of the kings of Dal Riata, and later Scotland, were drawn from the Cenel nGabrain. Gabran's wife, Luan, was a daughter of Brychan II, King of Brycheiniog, shown elsewhere in this genealogy.

Notater:

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.

Eochaid Buide "Yellow-Haired" succeeded to the kingship upon his father's death in 606. All his older brothers had been killed. Eochaid's reign appears to have been quiet until the end, but in 627, the forces of Dal Riata, led by Eochaid's successor, Connad Cerr, were victorious in a battle in Ireland.

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.

Also called Eochaid "Rianamhail". Eochaid was not the successor to his father. Throughout the previous generations, the kingship bounced around between brothers and cousins. He was killed in battle about 697 after ruling probably three years.

Eochaid succeeded to a kingship in turmoil in 697. Eochaid became king of Dal Riata in 726, when his predecessor (Cenel Loairn) was 'ousted from the kingship'. He survived a Cenel Loairn attack on his authority in 727, led by Selbach son of Ferchar Fota, and managed to hold his position without challenge until his death in 733. Following Eochaid's death, it appears that the kingship was shared between his brother Alpin, and Muiredach, the Cenel Loairn claimant, until Dal Riata was subjugated by Oengus, king of the Picts, in 736.

Eochaid's wife, Spondana was a daughter of Entfidich, Irish Chieftan, who married a daughter of Bili map Nechtan, King of Strathclyde (shown elsewhere in this genealogy).

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.
