Eochaid Buid mac Aedan
Eochaid succeeded to the kingship upon his father's death in 606. Adomnan's _Life of Columba_ notes that Columba, (correctly of course) prophesied the death of Eochaid's older brother's, and Eochaid's succession. Eochaid’s reign appears to have been quiet until the end, but in 627, the forces of Dal Riata, led by Eochaid's successor, Connad Cerr, were victorious in a battle in Ireland. Eochaid died in 629, and was succeeded by his second cousin Connad Cerr.
