King Alpin [Elphin] of Dalriada was killed in the battle for the city; while Muredach, the rival-king, was chased out of the country and fled to Ireland for refuge.
After that, the kings of Dalriada who had until then lived peacefully as neighbors of the Picts turned their policy of expansion against the Scottish natives and obtained territories in Scotland by force or treaty from the Picts.

The Dalriada expansion westward and northward across Alba and into the lands of the Picts continued relatively unabated until the 10th Century.
As noted before, the expansion of Dalriada was accomplished not so much by invasion, as by the joining together in marriage of the Dalriadans and the Picts.

 The Heroic Age: Artúr mac Aedan of Dalriada   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Scottish Dalriada was confined to the western coast of modern Scotland, including Arran, Jura, Islay, Mull, and numerous other smaller islands, with its seat at Dunadd in Argyll (Nieke and Duncan 1988:7).
From 574 to 606/8, Dalriada was ruled by one of its most dynamic and successful kings, Aedan mac Gabran (Bannerman 1974:80–91), the probable father of Artúr.
It is difficult to believe that a prince of Dalriada could be the seed for the Arthurian legend without bringing some reflections of his homeland and his powerful and popular father, Aedan, with him.

Amongst the kings of Dalriada, the succession alternated between the descendants of Erc, with those of Fergus dominating.
Two sons, and then two grandsons of Ferchar Fota came to the throne, but after this it remained firmly in the hands of the descendants of Fergus.
At the time of Ferchar Fota's reign, Dalriada was a weakened kingdom; the throne was fleetingly held by the various claimants, and the Scots were dominated by the Picts.

 Family Origins in Cowal and Knapdale   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
According to the genealogies Suibhne and Ferchar were brothers, and it is interesting to note, tending to confirm this relationship, that Dugall, son of Suibhne, witnesses a charter of Laumon, grandson of Ferchar.
If Suibhne and Ferchar were in fact brothers and if this is the point at which the MacLachlan line branches off from the MacSweens and the Lamonts, it seems unlikely that the name of the father of Suibhne and Ferchar, and probably of Gilchrist as well, that is 'Donnsleibhe', should not have been accurately preserved.
The Lamont descendants of Ferchar, son of Donnsleibhe, controlled much of Cowal and also held land on the opposite shore of Loch Fyne - according to clan tradition they controlled more territory before the Wars of Independence than they ever did afterwards, when their possessions can be more definitely charted (McKechnie 1938: 50-1).

 The Lordship of Badenoch
As in most of Scotland, we have doubtless to deal, first, with a pre-Celtic race or races, possibly leaving remnants of its tongue in such a river name as Feshie, then the Pictish or Caledonian race of Celtic extraction, and lastly, the Gaelic race who imposed their language and rule upon the previous peoples.
The clan traditions are supported in the matter of a western origin for the Clan Chattan by the genealogies given in the 1467 MS., which deduces the chief line from Ferchar Fota, King of Dalriada, in the seventh century.
Ferchar ninth is given as son of Lachlan in the Mackintosh history, whereas the 1467 list makes him son of William, not grandson.

 Bonwick's Irish Druids - THE LIA FAIL
Upon this, W. Skene has stated--"The two legends at all events are quite antagonistic to each other, and there is one historic fact certain as to each.
First, the Lia Fail, or Irish Stone, did not leave Tara, but was still there in the eleventh century; and secondly, the Scotch one was not in Argyle during the existence of the Irish colony of the Dalriada, nor was used in the inauguration of their kings."
O'Flaherty, confounding its asserted removal from Iona to Scone in the ninth century, affirmed it was sent then by Aodh Finliath to his father-in-law, Kenneth Mac Alpin.
