Biography

Eochaid mac Áeda Find (Eochaid IV) was possibly a king of Dál Riada. He was supposedly the son of Áed Find.[1] He is however not found in early sources and appears to be added much later. He could be same person as his grandfather Eochaid. [2]

He is described in some sources as King of Scotland, however that is rather overreaching. His description as king of Argyll or Argyllshire is more accurate geographical, however the area at the time was known at that time. He is also described as King of Kintyre.

Eochaid was the husband of "Fergusa" Urgusia.

Here we see ...Cináed son of Alpín son of Eochaid son of Áed Find Celt : Genealogies from Rawlinson B 502: 1696 Genelach Ríg n-Alban - though Wikipedia notes that Eochaid mac Áeda Find is not included in the Duan Albanach, or in the Annals; and only known from later genealogies, where Eochaid mac Áeda may have been listed in error for Eochaid mac Echdach son of Eochaid mac Domangairt [4]

Consider reviewing birthdate of 776 as he would be a father at the age of two. Source on profile, "The Mammoth Book of British Kings and Queens," notes he began his rule at the age of five according to the PMs. "He is described in some sources as King of Scotland, however that is rather overreaching. His description as king of Argyll or Argyllshire is more accurate geographical, however the area at the time was known at that time." could potentially be rewritten.

MacÁeda Find-1 and UNKNOWN-10328 appear to represent the same person because: same name, parent & child - merge needed as part of parallel upload

The last name in this instance should be "MacÁeda Find," not "Find," as Echdach MacÁeda Find is the son of Áeda Find.
