	The Heroic Age: Politics of Exile in Early Northumbria
		Throughout the 590s, according to Adomnan and the Irish annals, Aedan was at war with both the southern Picts and the "Saxons" (Bannerman 1974:83-85; Kirby 1991:71).
		Aedan survived the battle since he reigned another five years (Bannerman 1974:86-87), which suggests that Aedan and Æthelfrith had come to terms after the battle.
		While it is likely that Æthelfrith became the northern overking when he defeated Aedan at Degsastan in 603, he would have still needed a powerful ally to give him the security he needed to conquer Deira and turn his attentions even further south.

		In Pictavia, the passing of King Brude mac Maelcon (583 AD) saw renewal of the traditional split between the Northern and Southern kingdoms, with power shifting to the southern Kingdom first under Garntnait mac Domnach and then in 595 AD by Nectan nepos Uerb of Forfar, who ruled the fractious Picts for 20 years.
		Under Aedan mac Gabran, the Dalraidic Scots waged almost continual war on the Picts from 584-597 AD, successfully repelling Pictish sea raiders from the Orkneys and striking overland to defeat the Maetae at Leithri (Miathi) in 590 AD to reclaim Manau Goddodin, as well as driving Irish contenders from their lodgments on Inys Manaw.
		King Aedan of Dalriada was overlord of the Dal Raitans who remained in northern Ireland, and was entitled to taxes and possession of the Dal Raitan fleet.
