Notes

"Born: Not Known - Died: 943 - Marriage: Not Known - Offspring: Indulf, Cellach, and a daughter. The eldest son of Aed, Constantine II had one of the longest reigns in early history. Keeping at bay the Danish invaders and securing his hold on Alba, Constantine II even managed to break through passed the Clyde border and into southern Scotland bring him, not only face to face with the English Anglo-Saxons for the first time, but also into conflict. This then started the English / Scottish rivalry. Not only was he successfully defending against their raiding, but also he managed to pull off a lot of his own. This waring was to last for centuries.

When his brother Donald was passed the throne of Strathclyde, after the death of the last British King there in 908, the House of Alpin had at last secured it's entire grip on Scotland.

In 904 he defeated the Norse in the northern regions and they finally withdrew their threat. In 912 he turned his attention to the Scandinavians in the south, but in 915 he himself withdrew and retreated north. In 927 the fighting was ceased as the English had managed to unite the others who were also defending against the Dane's, and that combined army drove them out. Constantine II had now recognized a border between Scotland and England.

Peace reigned between the two kingdoms until King Athelstan of England invaded Scotland and took Constantine's son hostage. Three years passed and Constantine struck back with a vengeance, but it was not enough, and in 937 the Scots were defeated and slaughtered in Brunanburgh. Constantine himself managed to survive.

Defeated and bruised he stopped his fighting and spent more time defending against the, once again, angry Dane's who were driving further north. In 943 having watched his armies defeated and his kingdom getting smaller, he abdicated his throne and spent his remaining years in a monastery. Some say it was not through choice."

Notes

"The great king, Mailcun, reigned among the Britons, i.e., in the district of Guenedota, because his great-great-grandfather, Cunedda, with his twelve sons, had come before from the left-hand part, i.e., from the country which is called Manau Gustodin, one hundred and forty-six years before Mailcun reigned, and expelled the Scots with much slaughter from those countries, and they never returned again to inhabit them."

547 In this year there was a great plague in which Maelgwn, king of Gwynedd, died.
