Guret of Alt Clut
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guret of Alt Clut (Uurad or Gurad) was the ruler of Alt Clut (modern Dumbarton Rock), for sometime in the mid seventh century. Guret is not mentioned in the Harleian genealogies, and he is known only from his obiturary 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.[1] MacQuarrie has conjectured that he was a son or brother of Eugein I of Alt Clut,[2] but he has no evidence for this.
