Domnall Brecc "the Speckled"

• 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.

Domangart succeeded to the kingship in 660, when the joint kingship of his uncle Conall Crandomna and Dunchad son of Duban ended with Conall's death. Nothing about Domangart's reign is mentioned by the sources until he was killed in 673, and succeeded by his cousin Maelduin.

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).
