		Dal Riata was the name given to a kingdom established (according to some accounts) by a son of Conair Moir, a descendant of Milesius, who reigned as Ard Righ between 177 and 212 AD.
		The Dal Riata allied themselves with the Dal nAraide in Eire, and it is believed that Cairpre Riata and a number of his kinsmen made a journey to Alba, perhaps to further cement the relationship between the two kingdoms.
		Then, in 637 the Irish Dal Riata was destroyed with the defeat of the army of Domnall Brecc, the grandson of Aidan Mac Gabhran by the Ui Neill at the battle of Mag Rath.

	Dalriada (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The Dal Riada were originally a tribe of North Antrim in Ireland, but from as early as the third century, and especially during the late fifth century there had been a steady settlement of the adjacent coastal and island areas of Scotland by these Dal Riada Scots.
		The Scottish part of the tribal kingdom of Dal Riada was known as Argyll which means "coastland of the Gaels", for by this time the population of Ireland had long been Gaelic-speaking, and the Dal Riada considered them selves to be Gaels in the general sense, though nonetheless kin in the context of ethno-dynastic politics.
		Dal Riata originally was confined to the northeast coast of Ireland in what is now County Antrim, west of the Kintyre peninsula.

		The sea-roads of Argyll - the Kingdom of Dál Riata
		His grandson, Domnall Brecc, was a less successful ruler of Dál Riata, losing several battles and finally allowing his kingdom to become so weak that the Scottish part was made subject to the power of Northumbrian kings, while he probably lost the Irish part altogether.
		Dál Riata's subjection to Northumbria seems to have lasted from the 630s until the year 685, when the Northumbrian forces were destroyed by the Pictish army at the battle of Nechtansmere.

		The Scots Kingdom of Dal Riata is the perfect example of history mislaid and mistold.
		Dal Riata was based in Argyll, and its centre was the hillfort of Dunadd.
		Therefore, when we consider the Kingdom of Dal Riata in relation to its nearest neighbours, we must turn away from England and the Pictish east of Scotland, and instead look towards the Hebrides, Ireland, Scandinavia, and even France.

	Mid-Argyll Theme 14 of Travels in Time
		This control was not maintained, however, and Dál Riata lost their grip of Pictland for a while, but finally the Scots and the Picts were united under the power of another king of Dál Riata, Cinaed mac Ailpín.
		Dál Riata was crushed as a political and military force, by the king of the Picts - hardly suggestive that it was about to take over Pictland.
		In this case, when Cinaed moved the relics of Columba to his great church at Dunkeld, far from representing the Dál Riata's triumph, this signalled the ultimate collapse of her integrity when even her patron saint was absorbed by the all-powerful Pictish church.

		In 695, Domnall Donn, the king of Dal Riata and Eochaidh's father's cousin was killed by the Cenel Loairn (Lorn), a rival branch of the Dal Riata.
		Eochaidh became King of Dal Riata in 726, when his Cenel Loairn predecessor was ousted from the kingship.
		Following Eochaidh's death, it appears that the kingship was shared between his brother Alpin, and Muiredach, the Cenel Loairn claimant, until the Dal Riata was subjugated by Oengus, King of the Picts, in 736.
