	General History of the Highlands - Uniting of Scots and Picts - AD 843
		This event, no doubt, hastened the downfall of the Pictish monarchy; and as the Picts were unable to resist the arms of Kenneth, the Scottish king, he carried into execution, in the year 843, a project he had long entertained, of uniting the Scots and Picts, and placing both crowns on his head.
		The Picts were recognised as a distict people even in the tenth century, but before the twelfth they lost their characteristic nominal distinction by being amalgamated with the Scots, their conquerors.
		The Picts certainly appear to have suffered severe defeat, but the likelihood is that after Kenneth succeeded to the throne, a gradual fusion of the two people took place, so that in course of time they became essentially one speaking language, oveying the same laws, and following the same manners and customs.

		By 685, when King Bridei mac Bile defeated Northumbrian invaders at the battle of Nechtansmere, or Dunnichen Moss, in Angus, there was one high king of the Picts, whose centre of power lay at Fortriu in Strathearn but whose authority stretched over a group of peoples from the Forth to beyond the Moray Firth.

	Nechtan IV of the Picts at AllExperts
		On this basis, and because Bede mentions that the Picts allowed for matrilineal succession in exceptional cases, it is thought that Der-Ilei was Nechtan's mother; this presumption is considerably older than the identification of Nechtan's father.
		Other brothers and half-brothers of Nechtan and Bridei would include Ciniod or CinÃ¡ed, killed in 713, Talorgan son of Drest, a half-brother or foster-brother, held captive by Nechtan in the same year, and perhaps Congas son of Dar Gart who died in 712.
		A number of later figures, including the Talorgan son of Drest, king of Atholl, executed by drowning in 739, and the Talorgan son of Congus, defeated in 731 and likewise drowned in 734, and his unnamed brother, may be associated with Nechtan's family.
