Gartnait II
Gartnait, son of Domelch, (died 595) was a king of the Picts from 584 to 595. The Pictish Chronicle king lists contained in the Poppleton Manuscript have Gartnait following Bridei I whose death c. 586 is recorded by the Irish annals. Death of Gartnait II is noted in the Annals of Tigernach c. 599 and the king lists have him succeeded by Nechtan nepos Uerb. Some versions of the king list associate Gartnait with the foundation of the monastery of Abernethy, although other variants associate this either with Nechtan nepos Uerb or the similarly named pre-historic king Nechtan son of Erp. John Bannerman proposed that this Gartnait was to be identified with the son of Áedán mac Gabráin found in the genealogies known as Cethri Primchenela dail Riata attached to the Senchus fer n-Alban, and furthermore with the Gartnait whose kin were active on the isle of Skye during the 7th and early 8th centuries.
