    Notes 
    • Eochaid succeeded to a kingship in turmoil in 697. In 695, Domnall Donn, the king of Dal Riata and Eochaid's father's cousin was killed by the Cenel Loairn, a rival branch of the Dal Riata. The Cenel Loairn
      claimant, Ferchar Fota, was then recognized as king of Dal Riata. When Ferchar died in 697, Eochaid briefly held the kingship, until he was, in turn, killed by the Cenel Loairn. Ferchar's son Ainbcellach succeeded in the kingship.
