	Talorcan of the Picts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was the son of Eanfrith of Bernicia, who had fled into exile among the Picts after his father, Aethelfrith, king of Northumbria, was killed around the year 616.
		Talorcan became king in 653; in the next year, he defeated and killed Dunchad, king of the Dalriada Scots, in battle at Strath Ethairt.
		He seems to have been friendly towards Oswiu of Northumbria, and it is possible he was a puppet of Oswiu, the most powerful king of Great Britain at the time.

	Oswiu of Northumbria
		He succeeded in making the majority of the Britons, Picts and Scots tributary to him.
		At Gilling in 651 he caused the murder of Oswine, a relative of Edwin who had become king of Deira, and a few years later took possession of that kingdom.
		About this time he is thought by many to have obtained some footing in the kingdom of the Picts through their king Talorcan, the son of his brother Eanfrith.

	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).
		Regardless, Talorcan was killed, as was the British king Tewdur, Son of Beli at the battle of Mocetwawc.

	A Consideration of Pictish Names -- Section II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The original probably had an additional section before this last describing the destruction of the Picts and the "treacherous slaughter of their nobles at a meeting with the Scots", for a summary of these events is found in that place in Ranulph Higden's 14th century "Polichronicon" in a section clearly derived from the Pictish Chronicle.
		All of these factors lead one to the conclusion that the development of the "origin-legend" of the Picts involving Cruithne and his sons did not occur until the region was primarily Goedelic rather than Brythonic-speaking.
		One Talorcan is the son of Enfret (Anglo-Saxon "Eanfrith", a king of Bernicia), the brother of Oswy (a king of Northumberland).

		Pict tribe, called the "Epidi", (because of their allegiance to a horse goddess), settled in Ulster during the period of the migration of La Tene tribes from Celtic Europe.
		Pict Kings knew full well, because of the mountainous nature of their country, and the semi-isolation of its far flung settlements, that strong regional chiefs meant a stronger, more resilient people, as long as they were loyal to their High King in Abernethy.
		The Pict king was among those slain, but the Picts notified that they did not hold the death of their monarch as deciding the issue of the war, for they quickly proceeded to elect another in his stead.

		Thirty years ago Frederick Wainwright (1955) wrote that at the heart "of the problem of the Picts" was the question of "who were the Picts and where did they come from?" He said one should not speak of Picts before A.D. 297, when we first have evidence of the name.
		It may be that the Picts practised another system of succession, tanistry, in which during the lifetime of a king his successor was elected from a close royal kindred.
		An initial reading of recent studies of the Picts leads me to a similar conclusion about them, namely that there is no evidence to dispute the claim that their uniquely Pictish culture was a local development.

		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"...

		Edwin then became king of Northumbria, and Eanfrith, who was, according to Bede, the eldest of Aethelfrith's sons, went into exile to the north.
		Eanfrith married a Pictish princess and had a son, Talorcan, who later became a king of the Picts (653–657).
		Edwin was killed by the army of Cadwallon ap Cadfan of Gwynedd and Penda of Mercia at the Battle of Hatfield Chase on October 12, 632 (or 633), and Eanfrith, taking the opportunity to return home, became king of Bernicia.

	A History of Scotland Presented by Scottish Radiance - The Making of a Kingdom
		The King of Picts whom the Dalriadic king, Áed Find, fought in 768 was called Ciniod or Kenneth, son of Dérile; but that was a Gaelic name, as was that of the Pictish king, Óengus son of Fergus who had devastated Dalriada in the 730s.
		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 political purpose of kings of the Picts was clear enough, for by the seventh century they had largely achieved by these means a modus vivendi with their three main neighbours.

	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).
		The hostility between the Picts and Aedan is corroborated in Scéla Cano meic Gartnáin, which also implies Aedan married a Pictish princess (Bannerman 1974:86).

	A Consideration of Pictish Names: Analysis
		There are a wide variety of "origin legends" for the Picts, most of which seem to be motivated by a desire to connect them with every known appearance of the term "Picti" or "Pictones" (never mind that these are Latin terms) or with the custom of painting or tattooing the body.
		It is also possible that the names refer accurately to the kings' fathers, but that the insistance on using a patronym in the records, rather than some other relationship, is dictated by later (or foreign) sensibilities.
		It is also perfectly possible that while the method of inheritance remained the same, the Picts themselves had adopted Celtic ideas of naming to the extent of perfering patronyms to some system that made more functional sense in their society.

		After a long series of battles with the wild Picts, and after purging the land of the idolatrous superstition of the Druids and enforcing Christianity, he died.
		Before continuing the remarkable history of the wild Picts which culminated in 503 in Scotland, we should continue with the line of Scottish kings who now sat on the throne over the Cruithne (or the Agathyrsi Picts).
		Those wild Picts were the people who left the many strange and intriguing remains in the Northern Isles of Britain -- the mounds, the flint knives, the stonehewn tombs, the carvings.

	The Heroic Age: Oswald and the Irish
		The expulsion of Drest in 672 when the Picts rebelled against Oswiu's son and successor Ecgfrith [69] and the slaying of Domangart in 673 [70] suggests that both were closely tied to Oswiu or may have fallen in a wide revolt against the hegemony of Ecgfrith, Oswiu's son and successor.
		The claims of Talorcan, Gartnait and Drest to the Pictish throne would have been enhanced, if as suggested here, they were the nephews of Oswiu, who we should probably perceive as overlord of Pictland from the 650s to 670.
		After 685, the Picts, Scots and Northern Britons all regained their independence from Northumbria and Bede records that Ecgfrith's successor, his brother Aldfrith (Flann Fina) restored the kingdom within narrower bounds (Bede 4.26, McClure and Collins 1994: 222).

	The Heroic Age: Politics of Exile in Early Northumbria, N/B
		Smyth (1984:65) has speculated that Gwid was a son of Nechtan of the Strathclyde dynasty and king of Picts based on the occurrence of a Gwid son of "Peithan" in the poem Y Gododdin.
		Smyth (1984: 58-65) seeks to make this identification because he believes the Picts practiced a strictly paternal succession and this identification would support the sons of Wid/Gwid as the grandsons of Neithon of Strathclyde, King of Picts and paternal cousins of Bridei son of Beli son of Nechtan, King of Picts 672-693.
		However, Molly Miller (1982:151-153) has shown that the Picts practiced a form of mixed maternal and paternal succession whereby brothers inherited when possible, as is also found in the patrilinear succession among contemporary Anglo-Saxons, but maternal succession was used when the throne passed to the next generation.

		The last King of Albany, or the Picts, Drust X, fell in the Battle of Forteviot fighting the Scots under their chief/king Kenneth MacAlpin, the first King of Scotland, in AD 848.
		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.
		And, after more than 300 years of almost constant warfare, with numerous setbacks, the Scots overcame the Picts, who were also under attack by the Gaels, Angles, and Danes, and forged a new nation, that is, the Kingdom of Scotland, in 844.

		The reign of Drust son of Talorcan roughly corresponded with that of the Dal Riadan king Eochaid and a Drust who flourished 665-72 was a contemporary of Eochaid son of Domangart (information courtesy Dr. Katharine Simms, Trinity College Dublin, Jean Wright-Popescul and Robert C. Eickwort).
