Whether Boite mac Cináeda was a son of this Cináed, or of Cináed mac Maíl Coluim, is uncertain, although most propose this Cináed.

Notes

  1. ^ Duncan, p. 22; Smyth, pp. 220–221 and 225, prefers to assume that Giric mac Cináeda meic Duib ruled jointly with his father; also Early Sources, p.522, note 4.
  2. ^ Early Sources, p.520, note 5; Smyth, pp. 221–222, makes Gille Coemgáin the son of this Cináed without explanation.
  3. ^ Annals of Ulster and Chronicon Scotorum, s.a. 1005; the various versions of the Chronicle of the Kings of Alba and the Prophecy of Berchán agree on the site of the battle; Early Sources, pp 522–524. Duncan, p. 22, suggests that the killer's name should be read as Giric mac Cináeda, a brother of Máel Coluim. If not, this Cináed's son Giric was presumably also killed at about this time.
  4. ^ This Cináed and Boite's son, Smyth, pp. 220–221; Duncan, p. 32. See also Early Sources, p. 571, note 7.
