Domnall I of Strathclyde

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Domnall I of Strathclyde (Mod. Gaelic: Domhnall; Mod. Welsh: Dyfnwal; Mod. English: Donald) was ruler of the Kingdom of Strathclyde for some period in the early tenth century, and perhaps the late ninth century. He is known only from the Chronicle of the Kings of Alba, which states that "in this time Doneualdus king of the Britons died".[1] "This time" refers to the reign of king Causantín mac Áeda after 908, but before 916.[2] Domnall was presumably a relative of Eochaid, either through the dynasty of Cináed mac Ailpín or the native British dynasty of Run, but nothing of this is known for certain. However, the fact that the Chronicle of the Kings of Alba reports his death, rather than anything else, means we known for certain he was different from Domnall mac Áeda, a later Strathclyde king.
