Eugein II of Alt Clut
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eugein II of Alt Clut was, according to the Harleian genealogies, the son of king Dumnagual III of Alt Clut.[1] He is known only from this source, and there is no direct evidence he was king, although he is usually regarded as such by scholars.[2] The Annals of Ulster report the "burning of Ail Cluaithe" in the year 780,[3] and as Eugein is the only known possibility as king for the later eighth century, it is possible that he was the ruler at the time.
