  Eochaid of Scotland   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Eochaid of Scotland, also called Eochu or Eochaidh, was king of Scotland from 878 to 889.
Eochaid was not eligible to take the throne of Scotland using the normal tanistry system, because he was descended from the daughter of the royal line.
It has been suggested that Eochaid employed the services of his first cousin Donald, with whom he thought he was on better terms, to remove Giric from the throne.

Eochaid hears nothing, and is both puzzled and troubled as she turns from him, and rises from her seat, with outstretched arms, straining towards the distant voices.
Etain complains of weariness and announces her intention to retire, but Eochaid entreats her not to leave him, confessing that in spite of all the rejoicing he is "sore wrought by dreams and premonitions," expressed by a sinister little chromatic passage in the orchestra.
When Eochaid was offered his heart's desire, he could have gained the right to follow Etain to her immortal home, had he been content to sacrifice himself for her welfare, but because his love is selfish, he loses her objectively, and, though erroneously, feels that he has lost her irrevocably.

Eochaid Feidleach, the son of Finn, the son of Rogen Ruad, the son of Easamain Eamnab of the seed of Rifad Scot from the tower of Nimrod; for it is of the race of Rifad Scot was every invasion which seized Ireland except Cesair only.
Eochaid Dala took up the yoke of battle across Meath, over the green-streamed Shannon, and brought Meadb and Connacht safe with him through dint of fighting, so that he was not dared from the Boyne to the Shannon.
Eochaid Dala grew jealous because of this, and all the Fir Domnand shared in his jealousy through affection, so that they thought to banish Ailill, and all the Erna who were with him, out of Connacht; but Meadb did not permit the doing of that deed, for she loved Ailill better than Eochaid.

 Eochaid - Cunnan
Eochaid was king of Scotland between 878 and 889, in concert with Giric.
Eochaid came to the throne after the unfortunate death -- the unfortunate and violent death -- the unfortunate, violent and probably non-accidental death -- of his uncle Aedh.
Their joint rule was apparently less than ideal for Eochaid, and one version has it that he then collaborated with Donald to remove Giric from the throne.

And Eochaid came to that place to take the maiden thence, and this was the way that he took; for as he crossed over the ground where men hold the assembly of Bri Leith, he saw the maiden at the brink of the spring.
And afterwards Eochaid came back from his royal progress, and he was grateful for that his brother's life had been preserved, and he gave all thanks to Etain for the great deed she had done while he was away from his palace.
And when at last the armies of Eochaid came by digging to the borders of the fairy mansion, Mider sent to the side of the palace sixty women all in the shape of Etain, and so like to her that none could tell which was the queen.

Eochaid was the son of Eochaid II, who was murdered in 697.

It has been conjectured that subsequently shared the kingdom with Eochaid is not clear, but certainly upon Eochaid's death in 733 (and since he was only in his late thirties his death may be suspicious) he claimed the throne.
