Ferat son of Bargoit (died 842?) was king of the Picts, perhaps from 839 onwards.
No two versions of the king-lists known as the Pictish Chronicle give exactly the same version of his name.[1] Ferat, or Uurad in Pictish, is the most common reading, but Feradach may be intended.[2]
Thomas Owen Clancy's interpretation of the Drosten Stone would make Ferat one of only two Pictish monarchs, the other being Caustantín mac Fergusa, whose name is read on a Pictish stone.
His sons may have included Bruide, Ciniod and Drest who contested for power in Pictland with kin groups led by Bruide son of Fokel and Cináed mac Ailpín.
