	The Heroic Age: Artúr mac Aedan of Dalriada, N/B
		The royal court of Strathclyde was the closest foreign power center to Dalriada and relations must have been strained due to this proximity and Dalriadic control of the entry into the Firth of Clyde, a vital communication and trading route for Strathclyde.
		According to a poem on the birth of Brandub mac Echnach and Aedan, "Aedan was born near the Forth and [it] refers to him as the king of the Forth" (Bannerman 1974:85).
		Brude son of Maelchon was probably the overlord of Dalriada during the reign of Aedan's predecessor Conall and he severely defeated Aedan's father in battle in the year of his death, 558 (Bannerman 1974:78–79).

	Oengus
		The seizure of Brude while in sanctuary two years later gave Oengus the excuse he needed to take advantage of Dalriada`s internal divisions and launch a massive strike right at the heart of Scottish territory.
		Oengus, son of Fergus was the Picts greatest military leader, (the Irish form of his name reads—Onuist, son of Uurgist.
		Oengus won his way to the throne of Pictland in a dramatic succession of victories over a period of time of two years, which held the interest of Irish annalists.

		The word `Dalriada' therefore signifies 'the territory of the descendants of Cairbre Riada.
		As early as the 6th century Dalriada was divided among three tribes: the Cineal Gabran (son of Fergus), the Cineal Loth and the Cineal Angus.

		The Picts used a matrilineal system to choose their rulers and by the time Rome left Britain in the 4th Century AD the bloodlines of the seven tribes were deeply entwined, leaving the Kingdom intact.
		It was on one of these occasions in 739 AD when Oengus (Angus) Mac (Son of) Fergus laid waste to the Scottish capital of Dunnadd and then proceeded to Ireland where he won two large battles in 741 AD.

		The balance of this period is not well recorded, although it is believed that the rise of Christianity and the power of Columba and his successors exercised in non-secular matters encouraged relative peace and prosperity between Dalriada and her neighbors, the Picts to the east and north, and the Britons to the south.
		Dalriada and the Picts fought unsuccessfully for independence, the Picts suffering a massive defeat in which their dead were reputed to lie so thick in two rivers that the Northumbrians could walk dry-shod from bank to bank.
		Oengus continued his aggressive expansion southward until defeated by the Strathcylde Britons at the battle of Catohic (Mocetauc) near Glasgow in 750 AD In 768 AD, King Aed Fin lead a Dalriadian army into the southern Pictish province of Fortriu and fought a battle the outcome of which is not known.

	The Heroic Age: Artúr mac Aedan of Dalriada
		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.
		This assertion is based on Whitley Stokes's (1905:53) suggested identification of Muirgein as "Muirgein, daughter of Aedan, in Belach Gabrain." The suggestions for the location of Belach Gabráin are not Dalriadan at all.

		The dark age fortifications on top of the isolated crag of Dunadd, on the edge of the Crinan Moss, were probably the capital of the ancient kingdom of Dalriada.
		Dalriada was established by Irish immigrants, or raiders, from county Antrim, Ireland around 500 AD.
		Now Kenneth's sovereignty of Dalriada was regarded as an obstacle to his becoming Ard-righ (High King) of Alban just as there is was sometimes a tendency to prevent the merging of two ancient noble families or houses.

	Evidence of the Existence of Arthur
		By what can only be described as a stroke of good fortune, while researching a translation of an 8th century AD manuscript, "The Martyrology of Oengus the Culdee", I found a reference to Morgan, daughter of King Aidan, the sister or half-sister of Arthur (Arturius).
		To return to the first point of comparison, however, it is almost impossible to emphasise the importance of finding that Arthur (Arturius) had a sister called Morgan ("The Martyrology of Oengus the Culdee").
		Finding a genuine reference to a genuine Arthur is difficult enough, and to find another with a sister called Morgan, I believe would be impossible.

		The Norsemen had by that year conquered and settled Shetland, the Outer Hebrides, and as far south as the mouth of the Clyde.
		The brutalizing defeat at the hands of the Vikings in 839 not only killed most of the Pictish nobility, including the King of Picts and Scots Uven Mac Angus II, his brother Bran, and "numberless others", but also opened Mac Alpin's claim to the vacant Pictish throne, via his mother, who was a Pictish princess.
		His Pictish mother was descended from the royal house of Fortrenn, and his great-grand uncle, Alpin Mac Eachaidh had actually reigned as King of Picts until deposed by Oengus I. It is thus that Kenneth Mac Alpin was one of several nobles with a claim to the crown of Picts and Scots.

	A History of Scotland Presented by Scottish Radiance - The Making of a Kingdom
		Yet, even if Óengus won by conquest the overlordship of Dalriada in 741, by 750 he is said in the Annals of Ulster to have lost it, perhaps because of the intervention of Teudubr, King of Strathclyde.
		The evidence for a successful Pictish assault on Dalriada in the mid-eighth century and for a Dalriadic take-over of Pictland in the mid-ninth century can be assembled, but it is more useful to think of two kingdoms coming more closely together in a process which was often acrimonious and on several occasions hostile.
		The story of the increasing merging of the Scots of Dalriada and the Picts thus, of necessity, has to be told without reference to the impact made on their relations by their mutually closest neighbour, the kingdom of Strathclyde.

		The threefold division of Dalriada under the legendary brothers Fergus, Oengus and Lorn may reflect subkingdoms within Scottish Dalriada and Dalriada in Ireland could be seen as a fourth subkingdom.
		While the Angles fighting for Dalriada could be explained away as fulfilling the obligations of an exile to his host, similar explanations would not work for the relationship between the British and Mercia and there is no indication that the foreign warriors in Y Gododdin were exiles.
		It is possible that Dalriada passed under the hegemony of Owen son of Beli of Strathclyde for a short period after the defeat of Domnall Brecc in December 642.
