Everything about Eugein I Of Alt Clut totally explained
Eugein I of Alt Clut (or
Eugein map Beli) was the ruler of Alt Clut (modern
Dumbarton Rock), sometime in the mid
seventh century. According to the
Harleian genealogies, he was the son of
Beli, presumably his predecessor as king. This would make him the brother or half-brother of King
Bridei III of the Picts, the victor at the
Battle of Dunnichen. A stanza interpolated in the poem
Y Gododdin, often known as the "Strathcarron interpolation" or simply
The Battle of Stratcarron calls him "Nwython's grandson", the slayer of "Dyfnwal Frych" (for example
Domnall Brecc), the ruler of "Pentir" (for example
Kintyre, or
Dál Riata). The
Annals of Ulster tell us that Domnall Brecc was killed at the battle of
Srath Caruin, by
Hoan, rex Britonum ("
king of the Britons"). The latter is without doubt Eugein map Beli. We don't know exactly when he died, but he was certainly dead by
658, when another king of Alt Clut,
Guret, has his death recorded by the
Annals of Ulster..
