Aed I of Scotland

Aed (c840-878), sometimes spelt Aodh, became king of Scotland in 877 when he succeeded his brother Constantine I. He was killed shortly after taking the throne by Giric, also known as Gregory the Great, who had conspired with Aed's nephew, Eochaid. Not much is known of Aed, or even if he was actually the one named by Constantine to hold the thrown. Both Giric and Eochaid ruled jointly following Aed's death. His son, Constantine II of Scotland, ruled later.
