The conventional account would insert two generations between Áed Find and Domangart: Eochaid mac Echdach, father of Áed Find, who died c. 733, and his father Eochaid.

He succeeded Áed Find.

The reigns of Aéd and Díthorba are missing in the Lebor Gabála Érenn – after the previous High King, Lugaid Laigdech, is killed by Áed, a dinsenchas story about the founding of Emain Macha is interpolated, followed by the reign of Cimbáeth, who is said to have succeeded Díthorba and ruled for twenty-eight years.

When Áed succeeded him is not recorded, but it might have been in 855.

Constantine, son of Áed ( Medieval Gaelic: Constantín mac Áeda ; Modern Gaelic: Còiseam mac Aoidh, known in most modern regnal lists as Constantine II ; before 879 – 952 ) was an early King of Scotland, known then by the Gaelic name Alba.

The same style is used of Kenneth's brother Donald I ( Domnall mac Ailpín ) and sons Constantine I ( Constantín mac Cináeda ) and Áed ( Áed mac Cináeda ).

Woolf suggests that Constantine and his cousin Donald may have passed Giric's reign in exile in Ireland where their aunt Máel Muire was wife of two successive High Kings of Ireland, Áed Findliath and Flann Sinna.

The laws of Áed Find are entirely lost, but it has been assumed that, like the laws attributed to Giric and Constantine II ( Causantín mac Áeda ), these related to the church and in particular to granting the privileges and immunities common elsewhere.

* Áed Whitefoot succeeds Constantine I of Scotland.

One descended from Causantín mac Cináeda ( Constantine I, reigned 862-877 ), the other from his brother Áed mac Cináeda ( reigned 877-878 ).

While Constantine III of Scotland ( reigned 995-997 ) did manage to rise to the throne, he was the last known descendant of Áed.

One descended from Causantín mac Cináeda ( Constantine I, reigned 862-877 ), the other from his brother Áed mac Cináeda ( reigned 877-878 ).

His royal ancestors included Áed himself, Constantine II of Scotland ( reigned 900-943 ), Indulf ( reigned 954-962 ), and Cuilén ( reigned 967-971 ).

Constantine is not known to have any descendants and he was the last of the line of Áed ( Áed mac Cináeda ) to have been king.

The Duan Albanach omits both Eochaid and Giric, jumping from " Aodh, of the white flowers " ( King Áed mac Cináeda ) to " Domhnal, son of Cusaintin the fair " ( Donald II, son of Constantine I ( Domnall mac Causantín )).

This is usually read as meaning Áed Find and the Pictish king Ciniod I, who is called " Cinadhon " in the notice of his death in 775.

Áed mac Cináeda ( died 878 ) was a son of Cináed mac Ailpín (" Kenneth MacAlpin ").

He was nicknamed Áed of the White Flowers, the Wing-footed () or the white-foot ().

The Annals of Ulster say that in 878: " Áed mac Cináeda, king of the Picts, was killed by his associates.

This says that Áed reigned one year and was killed by his successor Giric in Strathallan and other king lists have the same report.

The idea that Domnall II of Strathclyde was a son of Áed, based on a confusing entry in the Chronicle of the Kings of Alba, is contested.

Áed Findliath was married to Causantín's sister Máel Muire.

According to the Chronicle, Áed was followed by Eochaid, a grandson of Kenneth MacAlpin, who is somehow connected with Giric, but all other lists say that Giric ruled after Áed and make great claims for him.

This is followed by an undated entry which was formerly read as " In his time Domnall Dyfnwal, king of the Britons died, and Domnall son of Áed was elected ".

Leaving aside the shadowy kings before Áedán son of Gabrán, the genealogy is certainly flawed insofar as Áed Find, who died c. 778, could not reasonably be the son of Domangart, who was killed c. 673.

During the century in which the lists correspond well with the annals, the succession to the kingship of Alba was held in an alternating fashion by two branches of the descendants of Kenneth MacAlpin, one descended from Kenneth's son Constantín, Clann Constantín mac Cináeda, and one from Constantín's brother Áed, Clann Áeda mac Cináeda.

The kingdom of Dál Riata was located on the western coast of Scotland, and Viking incursions destroyed it after the death of its previous king, Áed mac Boanta in 839, according to the Annals of Ulster.

Some scholars have seen no revival of Dál Riata after the long period of foreign domination ( after 637 to around 750 or 760 ), while others have seen a revival of Dál Riata under Áed Find ( 736-778 ), and later Kenneth MacAlpin ( Cináed mac Ailpín, who is claimed in some sources to have taken the kingship there in c. 840 following the disastrous defeat of the Pictish army by the Danes ): some even claim that the kingship of Fortriu was usurped by the Dál Riata several generations before MacAlpin ( 800-858 ).

He was apparently followed by the last named king of Dál Riata Áed mac Boanta, who was killed in the great Pictish defeat of 839 at the hands of the Vikings.

Macha Mong Ruad (" red mane "), daughter of Áed Rúad, was, according to medieval legend and historical tradition, the only queen in the List of High Kings of Ireland.

His given name was Áed.

Áed Find ( Áed the White ) or Áed mac Echdach ( before 736 – 778 ) was king of Dál Riata ( modern western Scotland ).

The dominance of Fortriu came to an end in 839 with a defeat by Viking armies reported by the Annals of Ulster in which King Uen of Fortriu and his brother Bran, Constantín's nephews, together with the king of Dál Riata, Áed mac Boanta, " and others almost innumerable " were killed.

The king of Fortriu Eógan mac Óengusa, the king of Dál Riata Áed mac Boanta, and many more, were killed in a major battle against the Vikings in 839.

The descendants of Cináed were ousted in 878 when Áed mac Cináeda was killed by Giric mac Dúngail.

He was killed in 565, probably at Ráith Bec in Mag Line ( Moylinny, near Larne ) in Ulster by Áed Dub mac Suibni, king of the Cruthin.

He ruled for seven years, until he was killed by Airgetmar's grandson Áed Rúad.

A lament for Áed mac Cináeda, a Pictish king who died in 878, suggests Kintyre may have been lost to his kingdom at that time.

* Áed of Scotland ( died 878 ), king of the Picts

The Chronicle of the Kings of Alba says of Áed: " Edus held the same the kingdom for one year.

" Tradition, reported by George Chalmers in his Caledonia ( 1807 ), and by the New Statistical Account ( 1834 – 1845 ), has it that the early-historic mound of the Cunninghillock by Inverurie is the burial place of Áed.

It is uncertain which, if any, of the Prophecy of Bercháns kings should be taken to be Áed.

William Forbes Skene presumed that the following verses referred to Áed: 129.

While Amlaíb and Auisle were in north Britain, the Annals of Ulster record that Áed Findliath, High King of Ireland, took advantage of their absence to destroy the longphorts along the northern coasts of Ireland.

No kings are known by name after Áed mac Boanta.

The entry for the reign between Áed and Donald II is corrupt in the Chronicle of the Kings of Alba, and in this case the Chronicle is at variance with every other king list.

The entry in question is now read as "... Dynfwal ... and Domnall son Áed king of Ailech died ", this Domnall being a son of Áed Findliath who died on 915 .< ref > Domnall's death is recorded by the Annals of Ulster.
