Suibne Mac Cináeda (map)
Suibne mac Cináeda (died 1034) was an eleventh-century ruler of the ''Gall Gaidheil'', a population of mixed Norsemen, Scandinavian and Gaels, Gaelic ethnicity. There is little known of Suibne as he is only attested in three sources that record the year of his death. He seems to have ruled in a region where ''Gall Gaidheil'' are known to have dwelt: either the Hebrides, the Firth of Clyde region, or somewhere along the south-western coast of Scotland from the Firth of Clyde southwards into Galloway. Suibne's patronym, meaning "son of ''Cináed''", may indicate that he was a member of the royal Alpínid dynasty.

However, the real importance of the chronicle is for the period 489–766, 973–1003 and 1018–1178. These three fragments survive from the 14th-century MS Rawlinson B 488. The coverage of the period 766 to 973 is lost, but is thought to survive in abbreviated form in the '' Chronicon Scottorum'' (abbr. CT). The latter is defective for the period 718 to 804, but as much of its content is derived from the hypothetical '' Chronicle of Ireland'' (itself partly derived from the ''Iona Chronicle''), of which the '' Annals of Ulster'' (abbr. AU) and ''Annals of Inisfallen'' (abbr. AI) are also derived, we have some idea of what the entries co ...
