Bridei I Of The Picts
Bridei I, also known as Bridei, son of Maelchon, was king of the Picts from 554 to 584. Sources are vague or contradictory regarding him, but it is believed that his court was near Loch Ness and that he may have been a Christian. There were contemporaries claiming the title "king of the Picts". He died in the mid-580s, possibly in battle, and was succeeded by Gartnait son of Domelch. Historical sources Bridei son of Maelchon was king of the Picts until his death around 584–586. Other forms of his name include Brude son of Melcho and, in Irish sources, Bruide son of Maelchú and Bruidhe son of Maelchon. He was first mentioned in the Irish annals from 558 to 560, where the ''Annals of Ulster'' report "the migration before Máelchú's son, king Bruide". An earlier entry, reporting the death of "Bruide son of Máelchú" in the ''Annals of Ulster'' for 505 is presumed to be an error. The Ulster annalist does not say who fled, but the later ''Annals of Tigernach'' refers to "the fl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bridei II Of The Picts
Bruide son of Foith or son of Uuid (died 641) was a king of the Picts from 635 to 641. The ''Pictish Chronicle'' king-list gives him a reign of five years following his brother Gartnait III. His death is reported by the ''Annals of Ulster'' and the ''Annals of Tigernach''. He was followed by another brother, Talorc III, according to the king lists. Bridei II might have been the father of the "Pictish princess" married to Eanfrith of Bernicia, and might explain why their son Talorgan I became the king of the Picts from 653–657.

Bridei III Of The Picts
King Bridei III (or ''Bridei m. Beli''; Old Irish language, O.Ir.: ''Bruide mac Bili'') (616/628?–693) was king of the Picts from 672 until 693. Bridei may have been born as early as 616, but no later than the year 628. He was the son of Beli I of Alt Clut, Beli, List of Kings of Strathclyde, King of Alt Clut. His claim to the Fortrean Kingship came through his paternal grandfather, King Nechtan II of the Picts, Nechtan of the Picts. Nennius' ''Historia Brittonum'' tells us that Bridei was King Ecgfrith of Northumbria, Ecgfrith's ''fratruelis'' (maternal first cousin). Bridei's mother was probably a daughter of King Edwin of Northumbria, Edwin of Deira (kingdom), Deira. Bridei was one of the more expansionist and active of Fortrean monarchs. He attacked Dunnottar Castle, Dunnottar in 680/681, and campaigned against the Orkney, Orcadian sub-kingdom in 682, a campaign so violent that the ''Annals of Ulster'' said that the Orkney Islands were "destroyed" by Bridei ("''Orcades dele ...

Bridei IV Of The Picts
Bruide mac Der-Ilei (died 706) was king of the Picts from 697 until 706. He became king when Taran was deposed in 697. He was the brother of his successor Nechtan. It has been suggested that Bruide's father was Dargart mac Finguine (d. 686) of the Cenél Comgaill, a kingroup in Dál Riata who controlled Cowal and the Isle of Bute. The parentage of his mother, Der-Ilei, is not certainly known. As well as Nechtan, a number of other brothers, half-brothers or foster-brothers of Bruide can be tentatively identified in the Irish annals: Talorgan son of Drest, Congus son of Dargart and Cináed son of Der-Ilei.''Annals of Ulster'', s.a. 712 and 713. Bruide was one of many important men of Ireland and Scotland who guaranteed the Cáin Adomnáin (''Lex Innocentium''; Law of Innocents) at Birr in 697. A battle between the Picts and Saxons in 698 in which Berhtred, son of Beornhaeth, was killed, is reported by the Irish chroniclers. A defeat of the Dál Riata is reported in 704, either ...

The Bridei Chronicles
''The Bridei Chronicles'' is Juliet Marillier's third series of historical fantasy novels. They depict the tutelage by Broichan, rise to power, and reign of King Bridei I, Bridei I of the Picts in the sixth century. Like much of Marillier's work, ''The Bridei Chronicles'' are rooted in historical fact and many of the principal characters are historical personages. However, a strong element of fantasy is also present, and the author's note makes clear that history is only a starting point for her romantic tales. ''The Dark Mirror'' ''The Dark Mirror'' is the first book of ''The Bridei Chronicles'' and tells of Bridei's education under the supervision of Broichan, the king's Druid. Bridei is sent at a very early age by his father Maelchon and mother Anfreda to Broichan at Pitnochie. One night Bridei is woken by the moon and outside discovers a baby of the Fairy, Good Folk, which he takes in and later names Tuala. As the years pass, Bridei and Tuala begin to fall apart as they co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
