Eugein II of Alt Clut

Eugein II of Alt Clut

Eugein II of Alt Clut was, according to the "Harleian genealogies", the son of king Dumnagual III of Alt Clut. ["Harleian genealogy of the Kings of Alt Clut", [http://www.kmatthews.org.uk/history/harleian_genealogies/5.html here] .] He is known only from this source, and there is no direct evidence he was king, although he is usually regarded as such by scholars. [Alan MacQuarrie, "The Kings of Strathclyde", in A. Grant & K.Stringer (eds.) "Medieval Scotland: Crown, Lordship and Community, Essays Presented to G.W.S. Barrow", (Edinburgh, 1993), p. 12.] The "Annals of Ulster" report the "burning of Ail Cluaithe" in the year 780, [AU 780.1, [http://www.ucc.ie/celt/published/T100001A/text349.html here] ] and as Eugein is the only known possibility as king for the later eighth century, it is possible that he was the ruler at the time.
