Dál Riata and the Vikings

If the Vikings had a great impact on Pictland and in Ireland, in Dál Riata, as in Northumbria, they appear to have entirely replaced the existing kingdom with a new entity. In the case of Dál Riata, this was to be known as the kingdom of the Sudreys, traditionally founded by Ketil Flatnose (Caitill Find in Gaelic) in the middle of the 9th century. The Frankish Annales Bertiniani may record the conquest of the Inner Hebrides, the seaward part of Dál Riata, by Vikings in 847.
Alex Woolf has suggested that there occurred a formal division of Dál Riata between the Norse-Gaelic Uí Ímair and the natives, like those divisions that took place elsewhere in Ireland and Britain, with the Norse controlling most of the islands, and the Gaels controlling the Scottish coast and the more southerly islands. In turn, Woolf suggests that this gave rise to the terms Airer Gaedel and Innse Gall, respectively "the coast of the Gaels" and the "Islands of the foreigners" This week I hope to cover more on this subject with Celtic History Decoded.

There's so much misinformation out there, but this channel has been such a great resource for me on learning how things actually were in Ireland during the middle ages.

Thank you so much man. That is 100% what my goal from the start was. Thank you so much for appreciating the time I have put in to this.

Most of the island clans were just Norse who, much like the Normans in Ireland, Gaelicised. If I recall correctly, the highland warships used were very similar looking to a Viking longship. The MacDonalds are descended from Somerled. My wife is a MacLean, they're from the Isle of Mull with a similar origin. It's pretty wild how much the Norse were willing to adopt the customs of wherever they settled. Your video on the Norse-Gaels was really eye opening how almost identical a Norse-Gaelic person and a native Irish person. Seems like they did in the old "Kingdom of the Isles". Great job, another wonderful vid!

nice post. a note, many of these issues are addressed by higher level Y chromosome DNA testing, especially of deep SNP testing. I study quite a bit of this DNA data coming in. I look at a lot of old Argyll families' DNA, it is certainly majority northern Insular Celt in origin. You can use terminal SNPs haplogroups to ascertain when they settled in Argyll and even follow their migration path prior to. Great discussion, good to hear this.

Very interesting and good comments. I’m in America and have always been interested in family history and where they originated from. These are facts that I know. I have a gran who came here in 1889 from Gloryford Ireland(county Galway) a gfather who came here from Colonsay in 1853, a gfather who immigrated from Ulster who vehemently said he was a Scotsman and not Irish in 1773 whose family was exiled by James I because they refused to stop reiving the borders (Bewcastle and Carlisle area). Fast forward to 2012 and my sister goes to the Mayo Clinic because she has a rare immune disease that is a trait of Norwegian and Scandinavian descent. She gets a DNA done by the Mayo Clinic and low and behold- it comes back as Irish, Scottish and Norwegian ancestry. Your Gael, PICT, Norwegian Dna markers. As you said in the video, some married, some may have been slaves etc. We don’t definitely know how the blood lines intermingled, but it makes sense when you pay attention to who invaded where and settled an area.

I've also been watching Scottish which covers some of this same content. He has been making a series on the people that made Scotland. The latest one is on the Vikings. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n5t-pqeLucnVqqs.html On why the Gaelic language replaced Pictish, he talks about the near antihalation of the Pictish nobility in 839AD, which forced them to merge with together with the Scott's. This could have caused Gaelic to take over if the nobility from Dál Riata were in the majority along with the replacement from Paganism to Christianity.
