		He at once designated himself "heir of the kingdom of Scotland," clearly anticipating the vindication of his claim, which was derived from his mother, daughter of Margaret, eldest daughter of David, earl of Huntingdon, brother to kings Malcolm IV and William I the Lion.

		Gaelic dominance of Scotland ended during the reign of King Alexander I of Scotland (1107-1124), and the old Celtic system of matrilineal kingship finally ended and was replaced by a system of primogeniture.

		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 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.
		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.

		He and Eochaid did not, it would appear, get on well, and in 889 Giric died, in battle, fighting a distant cousin Donald, son of King Constantine I, who then exiled Eochaid and took the throne as Donald II
