The Chronicle of the Kings of Alba says that Domnall reigned for four years, matching the notices in the Annals of Ulster of his brother's death in February 858 and his own in April 862.[1] The Chronicle notes: The Chronicle of the Kings of Alba, or Scottish Chronicle, is a short written chronicle of the Kings of Alba, covering the period from the time of King Cináed I mac AilpÃn (d. ...

In his time the Gaels with their king made the rights and laws of the kingdom, [that are called the laws] of Áed, Eochaid's son in Forteviot.[2] Ãed Find (Aed the White) was king of Dál Riata (modern western Scotland) from before 768 until his death in 778. ...
Forteviot (Scottish Gaelic: Fothair Tabhaicht) (Ordnance Survey grid reference NO052175) is a village in Strathearn, Scotland on the south bank of the River Earn between Dunning and Perth. ...
The laws of Áed Find are entirely lost, but it has been assumed that, like the laws attributed to Giric and Causantín mac Áeda, these related to the church and in particular to granting the privileges and immunities common elsewhere.[3] The significance of Forteviot as the site of this law-making, along with Cináed's death there and Causantín mac Áeda's later gathering at nearby Scone, may point to this as being the heartland of the sons of Alpín's support.

Evil will be Scotland's lot because of [the death of Cináed]; long will it be until his like will come. Long until the king takes [sovereignty], the wanton son of the foreign wife.

He dies of disease.[5] Loch Awe is a large body of water in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. ...
Although Domnall is generally been supposed to have been childless, it has been suggested that Giric was a son of Domnall, reading his patronym as mac Domnaill rather than the commonly supposed mac Dúngail.[6] This, however, is not widely accepted.[7] Giric of Scotland was king of Scotland from 878 to 889. ...
Domnall died, either at the palace of Cinnbelachoir (location unknown), or at Rathinveralmond (also unknown, and may be the same place, presumed to be near the junction of the Almond and the Tay, near Scone).[8] He was buried on Iona.
