Riderch II of Alt Clut

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Riderch II of Alt Clut was, according to the Harleian genealogies, the son of Eugein, the son 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]
