Giric

Giric mac Dúngail (Modern Gaelic: Griogair mac Dhunghail (born c 832, Scotland), known in English simply as Giric, and nicknamed Mac Rath, ("Son of Fortune"); fl. c. 878–889) was a king of the Picts or the king of Alba. The Irish annals record nothing of Giric's reign, nor do Anglo-Saxon writings add anything, and the meagre information which survives is contradictory. Modern historians disagree as to whether Giric was sole king, or ruled jointly with Eochaid, on his ancestry, and if he should be considered a Pictish king, or the first king of Alba.
