The 10th century "Pictish Chronicle Cronica de Origine Antiquorum Pictorum" records that "Kinadius…filius Alpini, primus Scottorum" assumed the "Dalriete regnum" two years before coming to "Pictaviam" which he for 16 years. The 12th century "Cronica Regum Scottorum" lists "Alpin filius Eochal venenosi iii, Kynedus filius Alpini primus rex Scottorum xvi…" as kings, dated to the 9th century. The Chronicle of John of Fordun records that "Kenneth son of Alpin" succeeded his father in 834, and became king of the Picts in 839 "when they had been overcome," and reigned "nearly sixteen years as sole monarch of these kingdoms." Thereafter he is considered to have succeeded as KENNETH I King of Scotland.

The Annals of Ulster record the death in 858 of "Cinaed son of Ailpín king of the Picts." The 10th century Pictish Chronicle "Cronica de Origine Antiquorum Pictorum" records that "Kinadius…filius Alpini, primus Scottorum" died "Id Feb" from a tumour "in palacio Fothuirtabaicht." The "Chronicle of the Scots and Picts" dated 1177 recordsthat "Kynat mac Alpin" reigned for 16 years, died "in Fethertauethn" and was buried "in Yona insula." The "Chronicle of the Picts and Scots" dated 1251 includes the same information but records his place of death as "Forteviet," and adds that "tres filii…Fergus, Loern, Tenegus" were also buried at Iona. |
