Uurad
Uurad or Ferat son of Bargoit (died 842) was king of the Picts, from 839 to 842. No two versions of the king lists, known as the Pictish Chronicle, give exactly the same version of his name. Ferat, or Uurad in Pictish language, Pictish, is the most common reading, but Feradach may be intended. The interpretation of Thomas Owen Clancy of the Drosten Stone would make Ferat one of only two Pictish monarchs, the other being Caustantín mac Fergusa, whose name is read on a Pictish stone. One version of the origin tale of St Andrews states that it was written by one Thana son of Dudabrach, at Meigle, in the reign of "Pherath son of Bergeth".''Early Sources'', p. 266, note 2. His sons may have included Bridei VI, Bridei, Ciniod II, Ciniod, and Drest X, Drest, who contested for power in Pictland with kin groups led by Bridei VII, Bruide son of Fokel, and Kenneth MacAlpin (Cináed mac Ailpín).

King Of The Picts
The list of kings of the Picts is based on the Pictish Chronicle king lists. These are late documents and do not record the dates when the kings reigned. The various surviving lists disagree in places as to the names of kings, and the lengths of their reigns. A large portion of the lists, not reproduced here, belongs with the Scottish mythology, Caledonian or Irish mythology. The latter parts of the lists can largely be reconciled with other sources. Pictish kings Pictish kings ruled in northern and eastern Scotland. In 843 tradition records the replacement of the Pictish kingdom by the Kingdom of Alba, although the Irish annals continue to use ''Picts'' and ''Fortriu'' for half a century after 843. The king lists are thought to have been compiled in the early 8th century, probably by 724, placing them in the reigns of the sons of Der-Ilei, Bridei IV of the Picts, Bridei and Nechtan IV of the Picts, Nechtan.Woolf, "Pictish matriliny reconsidered", p. 153.

Kenneth MacAlpin
Kenneth MacAlpin (; ; 810 – 13 February 858) or Kenneth I was King of Dál Riada (841–850), and King of the Picts (848–858), of likely Gaelic origin. According to the traditional account, he inherited the throne of Dál Riada from his father Alpín mac Echdach, founder of the Alpínid dynasty. Kenneth I conquered the kingdom of the Picts in 843–850 and began a campaign to seize Kingdom of Scotland#Origins: 400–943, all of Scotland and assimilate the Picts, for which he was posthumously nicknamed ''An Ferbasach'' ("The Conqueror"). He fought the Celtic Britons, Britons of the Kingdom of Strathclyde and the invading Scandinavian Scotland, Vikings from Scandinavia. Forteviot became the capital of his kingdom and Kenneth relocated relics, including the Stone of Scone from an Iona Abbey, abandoned abbey on Iona, to his new domain. Kenneth I is traditionally considered the founder of Scotland, which was then known as Alba in Gaelic, although like his immediate successors, h ...

Eóganan Mac Óengusa
Uuen son of Onuist (; died 839), commonly referred to by the hypocoristic ''Eóganán'', was king of the Picts between A.D. 837–839. Life Uuen was a son of Onuist II on ofUurguist rguist(in Gaelic: Óengus II mac Fergusa (Óengus II), died 834) and succeeded his cousin Drest mac Caustantín (Drest IX) as king in 837. The sole notice of Uuen in the Irish annals is the report of his death, together with his brother Bran and "Áed mac Boanta, and others almost innumerable" in a battle of 839 fought by the men of Fortriu against Vikings in 839. This defeat appears to have ended the century-long domination of Pictland by the descendants of Onuist I on ofWrguist (in Gaelic: Óengus I mac Fergusa). If the annalistic record is short, there are other traditions relating to Uuen. He is named by the St Andrews foundation tale as one of the sons of Onuist who met with Saint Regulus at Forteviot when the Saint supposedly brought the relics of Saint Andrew to Scotland.

Drest X
Drest (Scottish Gaelic: ''Drust''; Latin: ''Durst'') was king of the Picts from 845 to 848, a rival of Kenneth MacAlpin (Cináed mac Ailpín). According to the Pictish Chronicle, he was the son of Uurad (also spelled Vurad, Ferant, Ferat). Drest X was killed at Scone in the event known in history as MacAlpin's Treason. He was the last king of the Picts. With such scant information about Drest, this detail is enticing: In the ancient graveyard of St Vigeans in Forfarshire, within which there exist many most interesting early Celtic monuments, there is to be found one old stone which is possessed of this singularity: that on it there is engraved the only inscription in the ordinary character of the Celtic manuscript which is to be found in Scotland outside the bounds of Iona Iona (; , sometimes simply ''Ì'') is an island in the Inner Hebrides, off the Ross of Mull on the western coast of Scotland.

Ciniod (Scottish Gaelic: ''Cináed'') was king of the Picts, in modern Scotland, ruling circa 843. His name is given as Kineth in the king lists of the Pictish Chronicle.

Drosten Stone
The Drosten Stone is a carved Pictish stone of the 9th century at St Vigeans, near Arbroath, Scotland. In academic contexts it is sometimes called ''St Vigeans 1''. Inscription The Drosten Stone is a Class 2 cross-slab: a flat rectangular stone with a cross carved on one side and symbols on the other. The stone is unusual in having a non-ogham inscription. The inscription is read as:DROSTEN:IPEUORET TFORCUS Thomas Owen Clancy has interpreted the text as Goidelic, giving ''Drosten, i ré Uoret ett Forcus'' (Drosten, in the time of Uoret, and Forcus). Clancy notes three possibilities for the origin of the stone. One is as a monument to a noble or ecclesiastic called Drosten, a common Pictish name related to Tristan, who died in the reign of Uoret and Fergus. The second possibility is a dedication to the popular Pictish Saint Drostan, or perhaps to Saints Drostan and Fergus. The final possibility noted by Clancy is that Drosten and Fergus had the stone made. Clancy believes the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alan Orr Anderson
Alan Orr Anderson (1879–1958) was a Scottish historian and compiler. The son of Rev. John Anderson and Ann Masson, he was born in 1879. He was educated at Royal High School, Edinburgh, and the University of Edinburgh. In 1908, after five years of work sponsored by the Carnegie Trust, he published ''Scottish Annals from English Chroniclers'', a reasonably comprehensive compilation of sources about Scottish history before 1286 written either in England or by chroniclers born in England. Fourteen years later, he was able to publish the 2-volume work entitled ''Early Sources of Scottish History, A.D. 500 to 1286'', a similar but larger collection of sources, this time taken from non-English (mostly Gaelic) material. To a certain extent, the latter work overlapped with the compilations published by Skene's ''Chronicles of the Picts and Scots'' (Edinburgh, 1867), but both of Anderson's compilations differed from Skene's in that all were translated into English.
