Individual:
AlpÃn mac Echdach may refer to two persons, or to one, or to none. The first person is a pres umed king of DÃíl Riata in the late 730s. The second is the father of CinÃíed mac AilpÃn. The name AlpÃn is taken to be a Pictish one, derived from the Anglo-Saxon name Ãåelfwine; AlpÃn's patronymic means son of Eochaid or son of Eochu. AlpÃn father of King CinÃíed: Medieval invention Irish annals such as the Annals of Ulster and the Annals of Innisfallen name CinÃíed's father as one AlpÃn. This much is reasonably certain. The Chronicle of the Kings of Alba usually begins with CinÃíed, but some variants include a reference to CinÃíed's father: "[AlpÃn] was killed in Galloway, after he had entirely destroyed and devastated it. And then the kingdom of the Scots was transferred to the kingdom [variant: land] of the Picts." John of Fordun (IV, ii) calls CinÃíed's father "Alpin son of Achay" (AlpÃn son of Eochu) and has him killed in war with the Picts; Andrew of Wyntoun's version mixes Fordun's war with the Picts with the Chronicle version which has him killed in Galloway. -----------------------------------------
AlpÃn of DÃíl Riata: Medieval confusion The genealogies produced for Kings of Scots in the Hi gh Middle Ages traced their ancestry through CinÃíed mac AilpÃn, through the Cenél nGabrÃíin of DÃíl Riata to Fergus Mór, and then to legendary Irish kings such as Conaire Mor. These genealogies, perhaps oral in origin, were subjected to some regularisation by the scribes who copied them into sources such as the Chronicle of Melrose, the Poppleton Manuscript and the like. Either by accident, or by design, a number of kings were misplaced, being moved from the early 8th century to the late 8th and early 9th century. ------------------------------------------- Leo van de Pas: Whether Celtic or Norse in origin, the pagan kings of Scotland were considered to be sacred beings. At his inauguration each king had to go through various religious rituals, as a result of which he and his people felt that the Lucky Spirit of the community entered and dwelt in the kings body, hence the belief that the royal families descended from the gods. Since this Lucky Spirit's human manifestation could not be allowed to decay, such kings were periodically sacrificed or slain by their rightful successors. Alpin, son of Eochaid IV 'the Poisonous', King of Dalriada, became King of Kintyre in March 834, only to be killed in battle with the Picts in Galloway in August the same year.
