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

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.

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.

Áed, Constantine's father, succeeded Constantine's uncle and namesake Constantine I in 876 but was killed in 878.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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