Áedán mac Gabráin
Artuir mac Áedán, or Artúr mac Áedáin, was the eldest son of Áedán mac Gabráin, an Irish king of Dál Riata in the late 6th century. Artúr never himself became king of Dál Riata; his brother Eochaid Buide ruled after their father's death. However, Artúr became a war leader when Áedán gave up his role and retired to monastic life, though Áedán was officially still king. Thus it was Artúr who led the Scoti of Dál Riata in a war against the Picts, separate from the later war with Northumbria.
