Drest VI of the Picts

Drest (died c. 678) (Drest mac Domnal or Drest mac Dúngail) was king of the Picts from 662 to 671.

He succeeded his brother Gartnait IV on the latter's death in 662.^[1] The Pictish Chronicle king lists give him a reign of six or seven years. He is presumed to have been the leader of the failed Pictish Revolt against Ecgfrith of Northumbria in 671.^[2]

The Annals of Ulster and the Annals of Tigernach for 671 record that he was deposed as king, presumably by Bridei.^[3] He died in 677.^[4]
