  Dalriadic Scots (500-846 AD) - DBA 61a
The balance of this period is not well recorded, although it is believed that the rise of Christianity and the power of Columba and his successors exercised in non-secular matters encouraged relative peace and prosperity between Dalriada and her neighbors, the Picts to the east and north, and the Britons to the south.
Unable to resist, Dalriada and the Pictish kingdoms were forced to swear fealty to the Northumbrian bretwaldas.
Dalriada and the Picts fought unsuccessfully for independence, the Picts suffering a massive defeat in which their dead were reputed to lie so thick in two rivers that the Northumbrians could walk dry-shod from bank to bank.

 The Tribe of Loarn
Amongst the kings of Dalriada, the succession alternated between the descendants of Erc, with those of Fergus dominating.

  Mac Alpin's Treason
That the Scots' aim was to free Dalriada from Pictish domination and establish Scottish rule over the Picts is clearly evident by the actions of Kenneth MacAlpin's father, known as Alpin, who in 834 AD, as the Picts faced the new Viking threat in the north, rebelled against his Pictish King of Scots and Picts.
This ruler of both Pictland and Dalriada was Oengus II, and according to the Chronicles of Huntingdon, the subject of Alpin's rebellion.
The Scottish kings' dominion was essentially limited to Fortrenn, the Mearns and Dalriada, as the rest of the Pictish lands were under the yoke of the Vikings.

His formidable army was divided into two parts; with the one he himself laid waste the whole of Dalriada, burnt the fort of Dunadd, carried off an immense booty, and cast the two sons of Selvac, Dungal and Feradach, into chains.
In the meantime, his brother, Talorcan, opposed Muredach, the king of Dalriada, with the other division of the army, and a battle was fought between them on the banks of the Linne Loch, in which Talorcan was victorious, and Muredach was obliged to fly.
He almost annihilated the Scots of Dalriada; and yet it was his power and his victories which laid the germs of that revolution which resulted in the overthrow of the Pictish influence in Scotland.

Dungal and Alpin are the immediate predecessors of Kenneth the Conqueror in reality.
For an outrage on his son he invaded Dalriada and captured Dungal, King of Lorn, and possibly of Dalriada also, in 735, and in 740 he gave Dalriada a “smiting.” In the same year a battle was fought in Ireland between the Cruithnig and Dalriads of that country.
While he dies as “King of the Picts,” his successor (his brother) dies as “King of Fortrenn.” This dynasty had shrunk to its original measure of power; and with it also tumble the theories built on it by Pinkerton and Skene.

The early Scots were a post-Roman Gaelic-speaking people who invaded and settled the west coast, known then as Dalriada, having travelled over the sea from Ireland, and before that, it is fancifully suggested, although not as yet proven, the Middle East.
The original pre-Roman inhabitants were collectively known as Picts, because their language was pictorial and, through colonisation and marriage, and because they had no written language with which to record what was happening to them, they simply disappeared.
In the Sixth century three Irish brother-chieftains crossed over from Ireland and founded the little Kingdom of Dalriada, in the present County of Argyll, which was ultimately to develop into the Kingdom of Scotland.
