List Of Kings Of The Picts
The list of kings of the Picts is based on the Pictish Chronicle king lists. These are late documents and do not record the dates when the kings reigned. The various surviving lists disagree in places as to the names of kings, and the lengths of their reigns. A large portion of the lists, not reproduced here, belongs with the Caledonian or Irish mythology. The latter parts of the lists can largely be reconciled with other sources. Pictish kings Pictish kings ruled in northern and eastern Scotland. In 843 tradition records the replacement of the Pictish kingdom by the Kingdom of Alba, although the Irish annals continue to use ''Picts'' and ''Fortriu'' for half a century after 843. The king lists are thought to have been compiled in the early 8th century, probably by 724, placing them in the reigns of the sons of Der-Ilei, Bridei and Nechtan.Woolf, "Pictish matriliny reconsidered", p. 153. Irish annals (the Annals of Ulster, Annals of Innisfallen) refer to some kings as ''k ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Áed Mac Cináeda (Oxford Bodleian Library MS Rawlinson B 489, Folio 26r)
Áed mac Cináeda (Scottish Gaelic, Modern Scottish Gaelic: ''Aodh mac Choinnich''; ; Anglicized: Hugh; died 878) was a son of Cináed mac Ailpín. He became king of the Picts in 877, when he succeeded his brother Constantín mac Cináeda. He was nicknamed Áed of the White Flowers, the wing-footed ( la, alipes) or the white-foot ( la, albipes). Sources The ''Chronicle of the Kings of Alba'' says of Áed: "Edus [Áed] held the same [''i.e.'', the kingdom] for one year. The shortness of his reign has bequeathed nothing memorable to history. He was slain in the civitas of Nrurim." Nrurim is unidentified. The Annals of Ulster say that, in 878, "Áed mac Cináeda, king of the Picts, was killed by his associates." Tradition, reported by George Chalmers (antiquarian), George Chalmers in his ''Caledonia'' (1807), and by the Statistical Accounts of Scotland, New Statistical Account (1834–1845), has it that the early-historic mound of the Cunninghillock by Inverurie is the burial pl ...

Galam Cennalath
Galam Cennalath (died 580) was a king of the Picts from 550 to 555. The '' Pictish Chronicle'' king lists have him reign for between two and four years, with one year being jointly with Bridei son of Maelchon according to some versions. Some variants place his reign between Gartnait and Drest son of Girom which may be a copyist's error, or alternatively he may have had two reigns. The death of "Cennalath, King of the Picts" is reported by the '' Annals of Ulster'' and the ''Annals of Tigernach The ''Annals of Tigernach'' (abbr. AT, ga, Annála Tiarnaigh) are chronicles probably originating in Clonmacnoise, Ireland. The language is a mixture of Latin and Old and Middle Irish.

Chronological Synchronism
Chronological synchronism is an event that links two chronologies. For example, it is used in Egyptology to ground Egyptian chronology to other Calendar eras. The main types of chronological synchronism are synchronisms with other historical chronologies and synchronisms with precisely datable astronomical events. Synchronisms with other chronologies often rely on some form of recorded communication between regions. For example, in Egyptology, the earliest such synchronisms appear in the 15th century BC, during the Amarna Period by the considerable quantity of diplomatic correspondence between Amenhotep III and Akhenaten and various ancient Near East The ancient Near East was the home of early civilizations within a region roughly corresponding to the modern Middle East: Mesopotamia (modern Iraq, southeast Turkey, southwest Iran and northeastern Syria), ancient Egypt, ancient Iran (Ela ...ern monarchs; that links Egyptian chronology with other Near Eastern chronologies ...
