Subject: Llywelyn AT: "Loarn, ancestor of the Cenel Loairn branch of Dal Riata. [SFA; GA; R.162e=LL.336b (Rw.1697, CGH.329)] [Note: Although the later genealogies make Loarn a son of Erc, and brother of Fergus, ancestor of the later kings of Scotland, there is no good reason to believe that the supposed sibling relationship is historical, as discussed in detail by Bannerman in "Studies in the History of Dalriada" (Scottish Academic Press, Edinburgh and London, 1974). Loarn is given in some king lists as king of Dal Riata before Fergus (see, for example, "The Poem A Eolcha Alban Uile", edited by Kenneth Jackson in Celtica 3 (!956), 149-67), but it is unclear whether or not this is to be regarded as historical fact, or as a late invention of the Cenel Loairn.] "
