Guret of Alt Clut

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Guret of Alt Clut (Uurad or Gurad) was the ruler of "Alt Clut", also known as the Kingdom of Strathclyde in modern-day Scotland, for a period in mid seventh century AD. He is known only from an obituary 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]

There is conjecture that Guret was a son or brother of Eugein I of Alt Clut.[2].
