The Chronicle of the Kings of Alba was compiled in Cináed's reign, but many of the place names mentioned are entirely corrupt, if not fictitious.[1] Whatever the reality, the Chronicle states that "[h]e immediately plundered [Strathclyde] in part. Kenneth's infantry were slain with very great slaughter in Moin Uacoruar." The Chronicle further states that Cináed plundered Northumbria three times, first as far as Stainmore, then to Cluiam and lastly to the River Dee by Chester. These raids may belong to around 980, when the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records attacks on Cheshire.[2] 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 973, the Chronicle of Melrose reports that Cináed, with Máel Coluim mac Domnaill, the King of Strathclyde, "Maccus, king of very many islands" (i.e. the King of Man and the Isles Magnus Haraldsson, called Maccus mac Arailt) and other kings, Welsh and Norse, came to Chester to acknowledge the overlordship of the English king Edgar.[3] It may be that Edgar here regulated the frontier between the southern lands of the kingdom of Alba and the northern lands of his English kingdom. Cumbria was English, the western frontier lay on the Solway. In the east, the frontier lay somewhere in later Lothian, south of Edinburgh.[4] The Chronicle of Melrose is a medieval chronicle from the Cottonian Manuscript, Faustina B. ix within the British Museum. ...

The Annals of Tigernach, in an aside, name three of the Mormaers of Alba in Cináed's reign in entry in 976: Cellach mac Fíndgaine, Cellach mac Baireda and Donnchad mac Morgaínd.

The Mormaerdoms or kingdoms ruled by the two Cellachs cannot be identified. The Annals of Tigernach (abbr. ...

The feud which had persisted since the death of Idulb mac Causantín between his descendants and Cináed's family persisted. In 977 the Annals of Ulster report that "Amlaíb mac Iduilb, i.e. King of Scotland, was killed by Cináed mac Domnaill." The Annals of Tigernach give the correct name of Amlaíb's killer: Cináed mac Maíl Coluim. Thus, even if only for a short time, Cináed mac Maíl Coluim had been overthrown by the brother of the previous king.[5] Indulf (Scottish: Idulb mac CausantÃn) was king of Scotland from 954 until 962, although there is no record of his coronation, if there ever was one. ...

Adam of Bremen tells that Sweyn Forkbeard found in exile in Scotland at this time, but whether this was with Cináed, or one of the other kings in Scotland, is unknown. Also at this time, Njal's Saga, the Orkneyinga saga and other sources recount wars between "the Scots" and the Northmen, but these are more probably wars between Sigurd Hlodvisson, Earl of Orkney, and the Mormaers, or Kings, of Moray.[6] Adam of Bremen (also: Adam Bremensis) was one of the most important German medieval chroniclers. ...

The Chronicle says that Cináed founded a great monastery at Brechin. The Royal Burgh of Brechin is a burgh in Angus, Scotland. ...
Cináed was killed in 995, the Annals of Ulster say "by deceit" and the Annals of Tigernach say "by his subjects". Some later sources, such as the Chronicle of Melrose, John of Fordun and Andrew of Wyntoun provide more details, accurately or not. The simplest account is that he was killed by his own men in Fettercairn, through the treachery of Finnguala (or Fimberhele) daughter of Cuncar, Mormaer of Angus, in revenge for the killing of her only son.[7] The Chronicle of Melrose is a medieval chronicle from the Cottonian Manuscript, Faustina B. ix within the British Museum. ...

Cináed's son Máel Coluim was later king of Alba. Cináed may have had a second son, named either Dúngal or Gille Coemgáin.[9] Sources differ as to whether Boite mac Cináeda should be counted a son of this Cináed or of Cináed mac Duib.[10] Máel Coluim mac Cináeda (anglicised Malcolm II) (c. ...
