Giric
Giric mac Dúngail (Modern Gaelic: ''Griogair mac Dhunghail'' (born c 832, Scotland),〔''Giric mac Dúngail'' is the Mediaeval form.〕 known in English simply as Giric, and nicknamed Mac Rath, ("Son of Fortune");〔Skene, ''Chronicles'', p. 87.〕 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.
Although little is now known of Giric, he appears to have been regarded as an important figure in Scotland in the High Middle Ages and the Late Middle Ages. Scots chroniclers such as John of Fordun, Andrew of Wyntoun, Hector Boece and the humanist scholar George Buchanan wrote of Giric as "King Gregory the Great" and told how he had conquered half of England and Ireland too.
==Background==
The sources for the succession in what later became the Kingdom of Alba are meagre and confused following the peak of Viking devastation in 875-6. The descendants of Kenneth MacAlpin (Cináed mac Ailpín) in the male line lost the kingship between 878 and 889. Two names of possible kings in this period are Eochaid and Giric. Giric is very obscure; he may have been Eochaid's guardian; and he may have lost power following a solar eclipse.
The ''Chronicle of Melrose'' and some versions of the ''Chronicle of the Kings of Alba'' say that Giric died at Dundurn in Strathearn.
