Kings Of Strathclyde
The list of the kings of Strathclyde concerns the kings of Alt Clut, later Strathclyde, a Brythonic kingdom in what is now western Scotland. The kingdom was ruled from Dumbarton Rock, ''Alt Clut'', the Brythonic name of the rock, until around 870 when the rock was captured and sacked by Norse-Gaels from the kingdom of Dublin after a four-month siege. Thereafter the centre of the kingdom moved to Govan, previously a religious centre. The kingdom is also known as Cumbria after 870, and indeed may have ruled parts of the modern English region of Cumbria in the 10th and 11th centuries. In the 11th century the kingdom of Alba conquered Strathclyde. It remained a distinctive area, with different laws, using the Cumbric language alongside Gaelic, until the 12th century. Kings of Alt Clut Various authorities have suggested a king-list as follows: * Ceretic Guletic (410–450) * Dyfnwal Hen/Dumnagual Hen (450–475) * Erbin (475–480) * Cinuit (480–485) * Gereint (485–490) ...

Kingdom Of Strathclyde
Strathclyde (lit. "Strath of the River Clyde", and Strað-Clota in Old English), was a Brittonic successor state of the Roman Empire and one of the early medieval kingdoms of the Britons, located in the region the Welsh tribes referred to as Yr Hen Ogledd (“the Old North"), which comprised the Brythonic-speaking parts of what is now southern Scotland and northern England. The kingdom developed during Britain's post-Roman period. It is also known as ''Alt Clut'', a Brittonic term for Dumbarton Castle, the medieval capital of the region. It may have had its origins with the Damnonii people of Ptolemy's ''Geography''. The language of Strathclyde is known as Cumbric, a language that is closely related to Old Welsh, and, among modern languages, is most closely related to Welsh, Cornish, and Breton. Scottish toponymy and archaeology points to some later settlement by Vikings or Norse–Gaels (see Scandinavian Scotland), although to a lesser degree than in neighbouring Galloway. A ...

Clinoch Of Alt Clut
Clinoch ( cy, Clynog) is thought to have been a ruler of Alt Clut, the Brittonic kingdom later known as Strathclyde, some time in the 6th century. The Harleian genealogies name Clinoch as the son of Dumnagual Hen, his probable predecessor as King of Alt Clut, and the father of Tutagual, his probable successor. The ''Bonedd Gwŷr y Gogledd'', a later genealogy of rulers in the ''Hen Ogledd Yr Hen Ogledd (), in English the Old North, is the historical region which is now Northern England and the southern Scottish Lowlands that was inhabited by the Brittonic people of sub-Roman Britain in the Early Middle Ages.

Beli II Of Alt Clut
Beli II ( cy, Beli ap Elfin; ga, Bile mac Eilphin; died 722) was a king of Alt Clut, the Brittonic kingdom later known as Strathclyde, for some period in the early 8th century. According to the Harleian genealogies, he was the son of Elfin, one of his predecessors as king. The same genealogy makes him father to Teudebur, his probable successor on the throne. His obituary is noted in the ''Brut y Tywysogion ''Brut y Tywysogion'' ( en, Chronicle of the Princes) is one of the most important primary sources for Welsh history.

Dumnagual II Of Alt Clut
Dumnagual II ( owl, Dumnagual; Modern cy, Dyfnwal ab Owain; died 694) was a ruler of the Kingdom of Strathclyde in present-day Scotland for some time in the late seventh century. He is known only from his death notice in the Irish annals. The ''Annals of Ulster'', under the year 694, has ''Domnall m. Auin, rex Alo Cluathe, moritur'' ("Domnall, son of Aun, king of Alt Clut, dies"). Dumnagual is the Old Welsh equivalent of Domnall, and Aun is certainly Eugein, probably to be identified with King Eugein I of Alt Clut Eugein I was a ruler of Alt Clut, the Brittonic kingdom later known as Strathclyde, sometime in the mid-7th century.

Bridei III
King Bridei III (or ''Bridei m. Beli''; 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, King of Alt Clut. His claim to the Fortrean Kingship came through his paternal grandfather, King Nechtan of the Picts. Nennius' ''Historia Brittonum'' tells us that Bridei was King Ecgfrith's ''fratruelis'' (maternal first cousin). Bridei's mother was probably a daughter of King Edwin of Deira. Bridei was one of the more expansionist and active of Fortrean monarchs. He attacked Dunnottar in 680/681, and campaigned against the Orcadian sub-kingdom in 682, a campaign so violent that the '' Annals of Ulster'' said that the Orkney Islands were "destroyed" by Bridei ("''Orcades deletae sunt la Bruide''"). It is also recorded that, in the following year, in 683, war broke out between the Scots of Dál Riata under Máel Dúin mac Conaill and Bridei's Picts. ...

Elfin Of Alt Clut
Elfin was a ruler of Alt Clut, the Brittonic kingdom later known as Strathclyde, sometime in the later 7th century. According to the Harleian genealogies, he was the son of Eugein I, one of his predecessors as king, and the father of Beli II, who ruled some time later. Very little is certainly known of him, though he may be identifiable with other figures attested in the Irish annals, and circumstantial evidence may link him to a number of important events during this time. Identifications Elfin may be identified with the ''Alphin m. Nectin'' listed in the '' Annals of Ulster'' as dying in 693 along with ''Bruide m. Bili'' (''i.e.'', Bridei III of the Picts). It is possible that this Nectin is Neithon of Alt Clut, an earlier King of Alt Clut, and that the Harleian genealogies have Elfin's pedigree wrong.MacQuarrie, p. 10. However, this identification would cause serious incongruities in the dating of the other kings of Alt Clut, as Neithon was the grandfather of Eugein I and is t ...

Mermin Of Alt Clut
Nathaniel David Mermin (; born 30 March 1935) is a solid-state physicist at Cornell University best known for the eponymous Mermin–Wagner theorem, his application of the term " boojum" to superfluidity, his textbook with Neil Ashcroft on solid-state physics, and for contributions to the foundations of quantum mechanics and quantum information science. Education and career Mermin was born in 1935 in New Haven, Connecticut. He obtained a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Harvard University in 1956, graduating ''summa cum laude.'' He remained at Harvard for his graduate studies, earning a PhD in physics in 1961. After holding postdoctoral positions at the University of Birmingham and the University of California, San Diego, he joined the Cornell University faculty in 1964. He became a Cornell professor emeritus in 2006. Early in his career, Mermin worked in statistical physics and condensed-matter physics, including the study of matter at low temperatures, the behavior of e ...

Guret Of Alt Clut
Guret (died 658) was a ruler of Alt Clut, the Brittonic kingdom later known as Strathclyde, during the mid-7th century. He is known only from an obituary note in the '' Annals of Ulster'', which records ''Mors Gureit regis Alo Cluathe'' ("the death of Guret, king of Alt Clut") under the year 658.MacQuarrie, p. 9. He is absent from the Harleian genealogies, which record the names of many other kings of Alt Clut. Historian Alan MacQuarrie suggests that he may have been an otherwise unrecorded brother, or perhaps son, of Eugein I of Alt Clut Eugein I was a ruler of Alt Clut, the Brittonic kingdom later known as Strathclyde, sometime in the mid-7th century.

Eugein I Of Alt Clut
Eugein I was a ruler of Alt Clut, the Brittonic kingdom later known as Strathclyde, sometime in the mid-7th century. According to the Harleian genealogies, he was the son of Beli I, presumably his predecessor as king, and the father of Elfin, who ruled sometime later.MacQuarrie, p. 9. The '' Annals of Ulster'' and the ''Annals of Tigernach'' record another probable son, '' Dumnagual'', who ruled Alt Clut and died in 694.MacQuarrie, p. 10. Eugein was probably the brother or half brother of Bridei III of the Picts, the victor at the Battle of Dun Nechtain. The '' Annals of Ulster'' record that a ''Hoan'' or ''Oan'', King of the Britons, defeated and killed Domnall Brecc of Dál Riata at a place called ''Srath Caruin'' ( Strathcarron) in 642. A stanza interpolated in the poem ''Y Gododdin'', often known as the "Strathcarron interpolation" or simply ''The Battle of Strathcarron'', refers to these events, indicating that the forces of "Nwython's grandson" (i.e., Eugein, the grandson ...

Beli I Of Alt Clut
Beli I was a ruler of Alt Clut, the Brittonic kingdom later known as Strathclyde, some time in the 7th century. Very little is known of him, but his family appears to have been very well connected in northern Britain. The Harleian genealogies name Beli as the son of Neithon, his predecessor as king, and the father of Eugein I, his successor. Beli map Neithon is probably identifiable as the Beli who was the father of Bridei III of the Picts, as the ''Elegy for Bruide mac Bili'' attributed to Adomnán calls Bridei ''mac rígh Ala Cluaithe'' ("son of the King of Alt Clut").MacQuarrie, p. 9. The ''Historia Brittonum'' says that Bridei was the ''fratruelis'' or maternal first cousin of Ecgfrith of Northumbria, indicating that Beli's wife might have been of the Northumbrian nobility, though Bridei must have had some Pictish connection to become king of Fortriu. The ''Annales Cambriae The (Latin for ''Annals of Wales'') is the title given to a complex of Latin chronicles compiled o ...

Neithon Of Alt Clut
Neithon (died c. 621) was a 7th-century ruler of Alt Clut, the Brittonic kingdom later known as Strathclyde. According to the Harleian genealogies, he was the son of Guipno map Dumnagual Hen. Alfred Smyth suggests he is the same man as King Nechtan the Great of the Picts, and perhaps the Nechtan son of Canu the '' Annals of Ulster'' record as having died in 621. The ''Senchus fer n-Alban'' indicate that Gartnait, the son of Áedán mac Gabráin, King of Dál Riata, sired a son named Cano, but unless the Harleian genealogies are to be ignored, this would make Gartnait and Dumnagual Hen the same persons, as the respective fathers of Gartnait and Guipno. However, it is possible that either as an Alt Clut Briton ascending the throne of Pictland, or as a Pict ascending the throne of Alt Clut, his genealogy might have been altered, and it is notable that in the Pictish king-lists he is called "''Nechtan, nepos Uerb''", suggesting that it was a descent from Uerb that mattered in Pictland, ...

Floruit
''Floruit'' (; abbreviated fl. or occasionally flor.; from Latin for "they flourished") denotes a date or period during which a person was known to have been alive or active. In English, the unabbreviated word may also be used as a noun indicating the time when someone flourished. Etymology and use la, flōruit is the third-person singular perfect active indicative of the Latin verb ', ' "to bloom, flower, or flourish", from the noun ', ', "flower". Broadly, the term is employed in reference to the peak of activity for a person or movement. More specifically, it often is used in genealogy and historical writing when a person's birth or death dates are unknown, but some other evidence exists that indicates when they were alive. For example, if there are wills attested by John Jones in 1204, and 1229, and a record of his marriage in 1197, a record concerning him might be written as "John Jones (fl. 1197–1229)". The term is often used in art history when dating the career ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
