Encyclopedia > Giric of Scotland

Giric of Scotland was king of Scotland from 878 to 889. He ruled jointly with his second cousin Eochaid.


Little is known of this reign; Eochaid may have been a minor and Giric his guardian; or Giric may have been a usurper. Both appear in the lists of kings for the period. He claimed joint rulership with his cousin Eochaid by murdering his first cousin, Aed. Eochaid would otherwise not have become king, because he was descended from the royal line via a woman as per the traditions of the Picts but not Scots.


Little personal or governmental information is known of Giric, except that he himself was killed in battle at Dundurn in Perthshire by his distant cousin, Donald, nephew of Aed and Giric's successor.

Giric of Scotland at AllExperts (630 words)
Duncan argued that the association of Giric and Eochaid in the kingship is spurious, that Giric alone was king of the Picts, which he claimed as the son of daughter of Cináed mac Ailpín, and that the report that he was Eochaid's guardian (alumpnus) is a misreading of uncle (auunculus).
Smyth proposed that Giric was a nephew of Cináed mac Ailpín, the son of his brother Domnall, which appears to rest on what is probably a scribal error.
Finally, Hudson has suggested that Giric, rather than being a member of Cenél nGabráin dynasty of Cináed mac Ailpín and his kin, was a member of the northern Cenél Loairn descended dynasty of Moray, and accepts the existence of Giric's supposed brother Causantín.
