 The Heroic Age: Oswald and the Irish
The relationship between Oswald of Bernicia and the Irish kingdom of Dalriada (Dál Riata) is of critical importance to the understanding of his reign, and, indeed, to the history of seventh century Britain.
Stancliffe (1995:48) believes that Cadwallon allowed Eanfrith to become king but it seems more possible that they were allowed to return by their Dalriadan and Pictish hosts who could have refused to release them from their service.
We know that the Ionan church had baptized Eanfrith but we do not have a good understanding of other ties between him and Eochaid's kindred since he was possibly given refuge in Pictland [36], although Eochaid was memorialized in the Annals of Ulster as the King of Picts.
