 | We are also told that Columba needed interpreters to speak to the king, clear evidence that the Picts did not speak the Celtic language of the Irish and Scots (or at the very least not the Gael version of the Celtic tongue). |
| Bridei was succeeded by Gartnait IV, the 37th king in the list, who reigned for about 20 years. |
| Bridei was followed by Taran, son of Enfidach and he was in form followed by Brude/Bridei IV, possibly the grandson of the Brude of Nechtansmere fame. |

Story of Scotland: Scots, Picts, Angles & Britons (6517 words) |

| Bridei was more successful than his predecessors were against the Angles and his fleet nearly destroyed the growing power of Orkney in 682. |
| As it was, the Angles age of heroic kings faded, and the Picts reclaimed Lothian. |
