Dumnagual IV of Alt Clut

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dumnagual IV of Alt Clut was, according to the Harleian genealogies, the son of Riderch, the grandson of Eugein, and the great-grandson of King Dumnagual III of Alt Clut.[1] He is known only from this source, and there is no direct evidence he was king of Alt Clut (the region around Dumbarton Rock), although he is usually regarded as such by scholars.[2] The Chronicle of the Kings of Alba reported the burning of Dunblane by the Britons in the year 849,[3] and it is possible that Dumnagual was the ruler who was responsible, although it is equally possible that his son Artgal was the ruler responsible.
