Although nothing is known of Cuildach and Domangart or their descendants, Adomnán mentions a certain Ioan, son of Conall, son of Domnall, " who belonged to the royal lineage of the Cenél nGabráin ", but this is generally read as meaning that Ioan was a kinsman of the Cenél nGabráin, and his grandfather named Domnall is not thought to be the same person as Áedán's brother Domnall.

His succession as king may have been contested ; Adomnán states that Columba had favoured the candidacy of Áedán's brother Eoganán.

Áedán's army also included the Cenél nEógain prince Máel Umai mac Báetáin, who is said by Irish sources to have slain Eanfrith, brother of Æthelfrith.

The purpose of the meeting is not entirely certain, but one agreement made there concerned the status of Áedán's kingdom.

Of Áedán's daughters, less is known.

Áedán's army included the Bernician exile Hering, son of the former Bernician king Hussa ; his participation is mentioned by the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle ( manuscript E, year 603 ), and may indicate dynastic rivalry among the Bernicians.

The surviving Irish annals contain elements of a chronicle kept at Iona from the middle of the 7th century onwards, so that these too are retrospective when dealing with Áedán's time.

The Senchus fer n-Alban records the sub-divisions of Dál Riata in the 7th and 8th centuries, but no record from Áedán's time survives.

Áedán's campaigns on the Isle of Man have sometimes been confused with the battle against the Miathi mentioned by Adomnán.

This campaign was successful, but Áedán's sons Artúr and Eochaid Find were killed in battle according to Adomnán.

The names of Áedán's wives are not recorded, but one was said to be British, and another may have been a Pictish woman named Domelch, if indeed the Gartnait son of Domelch and Gartnait son of Áedán are one and the same.

Dál Riata did expand to include Skye, possibly conquered by Áedán's son Gartnait.

Áedán's byname in later Welsh poetry, Aeddan Fradawg ( Áedán the Treacherous ) does not speak to a favourable reputation among the Britons of Alt Clut, and it may be that he seized control of Alt Clut.

Áedán's dominance came to an end around 604, when his army, including Irish kings and Bernician exiles, was defeated by Æthelfrith at the battle of Degsastan.

Although Æthelfrith commanded an inferior force, according to Bede, he won a crushing victory at a place called Degsastan ; most of Áedán's army was killed, and Áedán himself fled.

The Irish annals record Áedán's campaigns against his neighbours, in Ireland, and in northern Britain, including expeditions to the Orkney Islands, the Isle of Man, and the east coast of Scotland.

The sources for Áedán's life include Bede's Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum ; Irish annals, principally the Annals of Ulster and the Annals of Tigernach ; and Adomnán's Life of Saint Columba.

These were the Cenél nGabráin, named for Áedán's father, who ruled over Kintyre, Cowal and Bute ; the Cenél Loairn of northern Argyll ; and the Cenél nÓengusa of Islay.

Late in Áedán's life, the kingdom of Bernicia would become the greatest power in north Britain.

The most important Cruithne king in Áedán's time was Fiachnae mac Báetáin.

Of the Uí Néill kings, Áed mac Ainmuirech of the Cenél Conaill, Columba's first cousin once removed, was the most important during Áedán's reign.

A Welsh poem states that Áedán's mother was a daughter of King Dumnagual Hen of Alt Clut.

A Welsh triad names Áedán's plundering of Alt Clut as one of the " three unrestrained plunderings of Britain ", and the poem Peiryan Vaban tells of a battle between Áedán and Rhydderch.

Áedán's other sons are named by the Senchus fer n-Alban as Eochaid Find, Tuathal, Bran, Baithéne, Conaing, and Gartnait.

Even less certainly, it has been argued that Gartnait's successor in the Pictish king-lists, Nechtan, was his grandson, and thus Áedán's great-grandson.

An alternative reconstruction made Dúnchad a descendant of Áedán mac Gabráin's passed-over brother Eoganán.

According to biblical scholars, the Torah's genealogy for Levi's descendants, is actually an aetiological myth reflecting the fact that there were four different groups among the levites – the Gershonites, Kohathites, Merarites, and Aaronids ; Aaron – the eponymous ancestor of the Aaronids – couldn't be portrayed as a brother to Gershon, Kohath, and Merari, as the narrative about the birth of Moses ( brother of Aaron ), which textual scholars attribute to the earlier Elohist source, mentions only that both his parents were Levites ( without identifying their names ).
