the following is taken from an Internet posting of Michael R. Davidson of
Edinburgh. Scotland, on 23 Oct 1995:
Aedan mac Gabran
Aedan succeeded to the kingship upon his cousin Conall's death in 574.
There is an entertaining story in Adomnan's _Life of Columba_ which
relates how Columba would have preferred to support Eoganan as king.
According to the life, an angel commanded Columba three times to
support Aedan, and Columba did not relent until the angel struck him
with a scourge. In 575 Aedan attended the Convention of Druim Cett in
Ireland, which apparently convened to decide the political relationship
between Dal Riata and the kings of the Northern Ui Neill in Ireland,
whose power was growing. In 581 he led an expedition to the Orkney
islands, and he won a victory at the Isle of Man in the following year. In
590, he won a battle against the Maetae, his British neighbours, but lost
two of his sons in the battle. In 596, in the first battle between Scots
and English, two more of his sons were slain. In 600, he lead an army
against the English of Northumbria, but was decisively defeated at
Degsastan. He was victorious in a battle against the Picts sometime
between 596 and 606. He died, at the age of seventy-four according to
the annals, in 606, and was succeeded by his son Eochaid Buid. The
_Senchus_ notes that he fathered seven sons, but other sources tell of
two others, Artur and Domangart.
Children:
1. *Eochaid Buid.
2. Eochaid Find, killed 590.
3. Tuathal.
4. Bran, killed 596.
5. Baithine.
6. Conaing, drowned 622.
7. Gartnait. (The same Gartnait that was king of the Picts and died in
599?)
8. Artur, killed 590.
9. Domangart, killed 596.
