	Picts
		The Picts were probably tributary to Northumbria until the reign of Bridei map Beli, when the Anglians suffered a defeat at the battle of Dunnichen which halted their expansion northwards.
		In the reign of CÃnaed's grandson, CaustantÃn mac Ãeda (900–943), the kingdom of the Picts became the kingdom of Alba.
		The Picts are often said to have practised matrilineal succession on the basis of Irish legends and a statement in Bede 's history.

	Drest VII of the Picts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Drest was king of the Picts from 724 until 726 or 729.
		A number of Nechtan's sons are reported to have died, so that Drest, whether a nephew, a son-in-law or cousin may have been Nechtan's nearest male kin.
		By 728 it appears that Drest, Nechtan, AlpÃn and Ã“engus mac Fergusa were engaged in a war for the Pictish throne.

	Uniting of Scots & Picts - 843
		Nechtan next tried his strength with Ungus, in 728, at a place called Monacurna by the Annalists - possibly Moncur in the Carse of Gowrie - but he was defeated, and many of his followers perished.
		This event, no doubt, hastened the downfall of the Pictish monarchy; and as the Picts were unable to resist the arms of Kenneth, the Scottish king, he carried into execution, in the year 843, a project he had long entertained, of uniting the Scots and Picts, and placing both crowns on his head.
		The Picts were recognised as a distict people even in the tenth century, but before the twelfth they lost their characteristic nominal distinction by being amalgamated with the Scots, their conquerors.

		King Nechtan son of Der-Ilei abdicated to enter a monastery in 724 and was imprisoned by his successor Drest in 726.
		In 740, a war between the Picts and the Northumbrians is reported, during which Æthelbald, King of Mercia, took advantage of the absence of Eadberht of Northumbria to ravage his lands, and perhaps burn York.
		Battles between the Picts and the Britons of Alt Clut, or Strathclyde, are recorded in 744 and again in 750, when Kyle was taken from Alt Clut by Eadberht of Northumbria.

	Picts & Scots
		The Picts were probably the descendants of the original inhabitants of the northern part of Britain, the people who erected the megaliths at Brodgar, Calanais (Callanish), Stenness and Maes Howe and the earlier chambered cairns at Clava near Culloden.
		King lists of the Picts and Scots are notoriously unreliable, since most were written with a political or dynastic aim in mind - either to establish a family's right to rule, or to deny it.
		He ruled over the 'Northern Picts' as several annals from that time refer to the kingdom of the Picts as being divided by the range of the Mounth into northern and southern kingdoms.

		On this basis, and because Bede mentions that the Picts allowed for matrilineal succession in exceptional cases, it is thought that Der-Ilei was Nechtan's mother.
		Bede's claim that Nechtan dedicated his kingdom to Saint Peter has led to Nechtan being linked to the Peterkirks at Rosemarkie, Duffus, Restenneth and elsewhere in north-east Scotland.
		A battle between Óengus's army and Nechtan's enemies at Monith Carno (perhaps Cairn o' Mount, near Fettercairn) ended with the defeat of Nechtan's enemies, among whom are named Biceot son of Moneit, Finguine son of Drostan and Feroth son of Finguine.

	The Pictish Kings
		In the beginning of time, there was a Pict king named Cruithne, son of Cing, and Cruithne reigned for 100 years.
		We are also told that Columba needed interpreters to speak to the king, clear evidence that the Picts did not speak the Celtic language of the Irish and Scots (or at the very least not the Gael version of the Celtic tongue).
		The Picts won that day, and massacred the entire English Anglo-Saxon host including its proud king as well as "cleansing" the land by killing or enslaving the remaining Northumbrians who had settled in Pictland.

		The Picts were a confederation of tribes in central and northern Scotland from the 3rd century to the 10th century.
		The reported expulsion of Ionan monks and clergy by Nechtan in 717 may have been related to the controversy over the dating of Easter, and the manner of tonsure, where Nechtan appears to have supported the Roman usages, but may equally have been intended to increase royal power over the church.Bede, IV, cc.

		The Pictish kingdom that emerged in the 6th Century AD was actually a combination of a number of iron-age tribes known to the Romans as the Picts, the Epidii and the Caledonii.

		A small land and thinly populated, her skeptical and occasionaly dour children are legendary the world over as soldiers, merchants, doctors, explorers, engineers, and inventors; any trade, in fact, that requires considerable self-discipline combined with a flare of creativity.
		Eventually, the Scots were able to suborn the Picts by marrying Pictish royal women, inheriting the kingdom, and passing it on to their patrilineal heirs.
		Nevertheless, the Picts have retained a strong grip on the imagination of succeeding generations, albeit the fact that even the Scots themselves didn't know their opponent's name; the Gaels simply refered to them as "An Cruithain", Scottish for "the painted ones, the ones who tattoo themselves"...

	Egbert; Concise History of Seventh Century Ireland
		During the reign of Ecgfrith “while the kingdom was still weak, the bestial tribes of the Picts had a fierce contempt for subjection to the Saxon, and threatened to throw off themselves, the yoke of slavery...”[30] But Ecgfrith attacked and defeated the Picts.
		This is the same Nechtan who wrote the Letter to Ceolfrith of Wearmouth Jarrow seeking guidance on the Easter question, which subsequently led to the Picts adopting the Roman practise and severing relations with Iona.
		The case for the letter which Nechtan king of the Picts wrote to Ceolfrith’s having been drafted by Egbert, is very systematically and convincingly made by Duncan.

		Thus dedicated to St. Brigid, the Picts seem to have adopted her name for their kings, many of whom are named Bridei (as in St. Bride).
		Of course, since the pagan king ministered to by St. Columba was himself named Bridei, an association with the pagan Brigid seems likely to have been the true antecedent, and thus we have another case of classic syncretism between the pagan and the Christian.
		Comgall was the founding abbot of the biggest monastery in ireland, Bangor, which he founded in 558 in the territory of the Irish "Picts" (Cruithne) in the Ards of Ulster (east coast of County Down).

	McNitt Family History
		The ancient Picts, whose lost language is at the root of the McNitt name, migrated from Continental Europe in the area of what is now Austria and the Czech Republic, at about the time Romulus is said to have founded Rome -- roughly 700 BC.
		By 1000 AD a tribe, or "clann," descending from the Picts -- although now unmistakably Scottish in their speech, customs and religion -- was well established along the valley of the river Tay in the Central Highlands north of Edinburgh, living in rough stone cots, tending sheep and farming what fertile soil could be found.
		While King Nechtan, and our relationship to him, may be more legend than fact, it is a fact that in 1164, King Malcolm IV gave the MacNauchtan Clan control of lands in the Highlands to the west of Strathtay, in return for aid in controlling the rebellious MacDougalls.

	The Easter Question; Concise History of Seventh Century Ireland
		Ceolfrid’s letter to Nechtan is an invaluable source for the orthodox view of Easter for the early period: “The solemn festival comprises no more than seven nights and the same number of days.
		Ceolfrid’s letter to Necthan the king of the Picts is our primary source for the involvement of Egbert because it presupposes a letter from Nechtan to Ceolfrid which Duncan argues was written by Egbert.
		Egbert had convinced Nechtan of the desirability of so doing, but although armed with a dossier of letters from Iona (see Egbert, Iona and the Picts), and though he was already in possession of the Dionysiac tables,[62] he lacked up to date arguments from the “apostolic see” for the catholic Easter.
