	Giric of Scotland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Giric of Scotland was king of Scotland from 878 to 889.
		Little is known of this reign; Eochaid may have been a minor and Giric his guardian; or Giric may have been a usurper.
		Little personal or governmental information is known of Giric, except that he himself was killed in battle at Dundurn in Perthshire by his distant cousin, Donald, nephew of Aed and Giric's successor.

	Giric of Scotland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A.A.M. Duncan argued that the association of Giric and Eochaid in the kingship is spurious, that Giric alone was king of the Picts, which he claimed as the son of daughter of Cináed mac Ailpín, and that the report that he was Eochaid's guardian (alumpnus) is a misreading of uncle (auunculus).
		Smyth proposed that Giric was a nephew of Cináed mac Ailpín, the son of his brother Domnall, which appears to rest on what is probably a scribal error.
		Finally, Hudson has suggested that Giric, rather than being a member of Cenél nGabráin dynasty of Cináed mac Ailpín and his kin, was a member of the northern Cenél Loairn descended dynasty of Moray, and accepts the existence of Giric's supposed brother Causantín.

	Eochaid of Scotland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		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.
		In order to become king, he joined forces with his first cousin once removed Giric to take the throne by force from his uncle, Aed.
		However once he had the throne, he found that he was stuck in a joint rulership over Scotland with Giric, and there is evidence to suggest that it wasn't a good relationship.

	Scottish Monarchs - Kings and Queens of Scotland - Eochaid and Giric. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Giric was probably of Pictish descent, he may represent the last attempt to reassert the Pictish succession, a legh-righ, able to reign only in conjunction with Eochaid, thus making the title of his line more legitimate by allying himself with a member of the House of Alpin.
		Giric annexed the Cumbrian district South of the Solway to the Kingdom of Strathclyde.
		Eochaid and Giric tried to strengthen their position by conciliating the Scottish Church, which they freed from the various exactions and services to which it had been until then liable to.

	Eochaid & Giric Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland
		Having used Giric to clear his path to the Crown of the Picts and Scots, Eochaid found he had to share it with Giric, and the two embarked on an uneasy 11 year joint reign.
		Giric was buried in the graveyard at Saint Oran's Chapel on the Isle of Iona.
		Giric went on to achieve posthumous fame of sorts as Gregory the Great when in the 1100s he became the subject of myths that he had single handedly freed the Scots from the Picts and conquered Ireland and much of England.

	Eochaid - Cunnan
		Eochaid was king of Scotland between 878 and 889, in concert with Giric.
		On Aedh's demise, Eochaid seized the throne with Giric, a cousin, who was also descended from Alpin (and who, like Eochaid, may have known more about Aedh's death (unfortunate and violent) than history has managed to retain).
		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.

		By the time Giric and his men crashed through the gates, only six Visharian soldiers were ready, but were no match for Giric’s swift axe as he hewed through the wall of flesh.

	Eochaid of Scotland - GigaDictionary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Duan Albanach omits both Eochaid and Giric, jumping from "Aodh, of the white flowers" (Áed mac Cináeda) to "Domhnal, son of Cusaintin the fair" (Domnall mac Causantín).
		The Prophecy is not without its critics, and the entry which is assumed to identify Eochaid, calling him the Briton of the Clyde, refers to his mother as "the woman of Dún Guaire (Bamburgh)", which raises unanswered questions.
		David Dumville, relying on the Chronicle alone, appears to accept that Eochaid was king, while Archie Duncan, arguing from the same source, flatly rejects the idea that Eochaid was king and attributes the supposed joint reign to Giric, and to Giric alone.
