Eógan Mac Muiredaig
Eógan mac Muiredaig is named in some Scotland, Scots sources as a king of Dál Riata, probably in the 730s. Presumed to be the son of Muiredach mac Ainbcellaig, and thus a king of the Cenél Loairn, Eógan is not named in any surviving Irish annals, nor does he appear in the Duan Albanach, which passes from Muiredach to Áed Find. The ''Chronicle of the Kings of Dál Riata'' names Eógan son of Muiredach as king after Muiredach, and the king-list in the Chronicle of Melrose includes him. Later genealogies of the Mormaer of Moray, Mormaers of Moray trace their descent from the Cenél Loairn through one Ruadrí, a presumed brother of Eógan's father. Eógan's reign falls in the period when Dál Riata was invaded and conquered by the Picts under Óengus I, Óengus mac Fergusa. The name of his successor is unknown, and the next king to appear in the record is Áed Find of the Cenél nGabráin, some three decades after Eógan's time.

Óengus I
Óengus son of Fergus (; ; died 761) was king of the Picts from 732 until his death in 761. His reign can be reconstructed in some detail from a variety of sources. The unprecedented territorial gains he made from coast to coast, and the legacy he left, mean Óengus can be considered the first king of what would become Scotland. Wresting power from his rivals, Óengus became the chief king in Pictland following a period of civil war in the late 720s. The most powerful ruler in Scotland for more than two decades, kings from Óengus's family dominated Pictland for a century, until defeat at the hands of Vikings in 839 began a new period of instability, ending with the coming to power of another Pictish dynasty, that of Kenneth MacAlpin, Cináed mac Ailpín. Sources and background Surviving Pictish sources for the period are few, limited to king lists, the original of which was prepared in the early 720s, and a number of accounts relating to the foundation of St Andrews, the ...
