Constantine II of Scotland

By Jesse Russell

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Constantine, son of ed (Medieval Gaelic: Constant n mac eda; Modern Gaelic: C iseam mac Aoidh, known in most modern regnal lists as Constantine II; before 879-952) was an early King of Scotland, known then by the Gaelic name Alba. The Kingdom of Alba, a name which first appears in Constantine's lifetime, was in northern Great Britain. The core of the kingdom was formed by the lands around the River Tay. Its southern limit was the River Forth, northwards it extended towards the Moray Firth and perhaps to Caithness, while its western limits are uncertain. Constantine's grandfather Kenneth I of Scotland (Cin ed mac Ailp n, died 858) was the first of the family recorded as a king, but as king of the Picts. This change of title, from king of the Picts to king of Alba, is part of a broader transformation of Pictland and the origins of the Kingdom of Alba are traced to Constantine's lifetime.
