[edit] Identity, king of which Dál Riata ?
His death is not in doubt, nor the fact that he was grandson of Dúnchad. IIRC, Bannerman presumes him to have been king of Irish Dál Riada. If he is the son of Conall Cael mac Dúnchada whose death in Kintyre is reported in A.U. s.a. 681, he may equally have been a Cenél nGabráin king. C.f. Dunchád Becc of Kintyre, and in A.U., s.a. 701: A skirmish in Scí in which Conaing son of Dúnchad and Cuanna's son fell. The text of gloss to the Internet Medieval Sourcebook version of the Cáin Adomnáin makes him a king in Ireland. Thoughts anyone ? Angus McLellan 20:08, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
