Kenneth I of Scotland - Scotland Kenneth I the Hardy (ca. 810-858; Kenneth mac Alpin) succeeded his father, Alpin II, to the throne of Dalriada. He soon obtained the Pictish throne in 843 and became the first king to rule the Picts of Pictavia and the Scots of Dalriada. It is possible that intermarriage with the Picts helped secure Kenneth's throne. The joint kingdom was known as Alba from the Latin for white. Recalling the peculiarity of a matrilineal succession which governed Pictish crowns, it is evident that Kenneth Mac Alpin grounded his claims to the Pictish crown from his mother's bloodlines. In 839, the Picts suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of the Vikings. The Norsemen had conquered and settled Shetland, the Outer Hebrides and as far south as the mouth of the Clyde..

While the Romans represented a common enemy the Picts and Scots supported each other, however, with the Romans' departure the two sides were left to compete with each other for power and territory. Wars between Caledonia and Dalriada were numerous between 300 AD and 840 AD - the Picts frequently coming out on top; Dalriada often being ruled by the Picts. In the early 9th century, when the.
