In his article, Sellar rejected as "preposterous fiction" the claim
that Fergus was the same person as the king of Dalriada of that name
who reigned from 778 until 781. His exact line of descent from the
Ui Maic Uais is unknown. (The traditional genealogy of Fergus is
chronologically impossible by several hundred years. This genealogy
gives his father as ERC MAC CAIRTHIND [RIN 9331].)
