Gabran mac Domangart
Gabran succeeded to the kingship upon his brother's death in 538. Welsh sources claim that Gabran married a certain Luan, daughter of Brychan, the founder of the Welsh kingdom of Brycheiniog. There are problems, however with accepting this as fact, as it appears that the traditions of two Brycheiniogs, one in Wales and the other in northern Britain, were merged by medieval writers. Gabran's forces were defeated by the Picts in 558. He died in the same year, and was succeeded by Comgall's son Conall. Gabran gave his name to the Cenel nGabrain, one of the four divisions of the Dal Riata. Most of the kings of Dal Riata, and later Scotland, were drawn from the Cenel nGabrain.
