Eugein Eugein II of Alternate Clut
Edit Profile
Career
Dumnagual is presumed to be the monarch who submitted to the joint army of Kings Óengus I of the Picts and Eadberht of Northumbria in 756. After this event, Alternate Clut seems to have remained under foreign power and the royal line is known exclusively through the Harlein genealogies for more than a century. If Eugein was king, he may have been in power during the "burning of Ail Cluaithe" recorded in the Annals of Ulster as having occurred in 780.
According to Harleian, he was the father of Riderch World War II
