Eochaid MUINREMUR (c. 400- )

1 Eochaid MUINREMUR^1,2 (c. 400- ) [14596]. Born c. 0400.³

Pictish Sourcebook: Documents of Medieval Legend and Dark Age History by J. M. P. Calisa, 2002 cites several documents that state that Erc's father was Eochaid Muinremur. Another son (brother to Erc) was named Olchu. Also Eochaid Muinremur was said to have married Fergusa (or Feidelmid). Though there are a couple variations of the supposed father of Eochaid Muinremur shown here, No other reliable information seems to support these, so at least for the moment, we are unable to trace this part of the line any further.

Glenochel: A Descriptive Poem in Two Volumes by James Kennedy, 1810, also states that Eochaid Muinremur (shown as Eocha Munrahmar here) was the father of Erc and Olchu as follows:

"About the commencement of the sixth century, the Caledonian crown seems to have, again devolved on an Irish king. This was Olchu, the son of Eocha Munrahmar, prince of Dalriada in Ulster, who sent Loarn, Fergus, and Angus, the sons of his brother Erc, to assume the sovereign power. They landed in Kintyre, during A.D. 503, and immediately erected separate governments. Loarn occupied the district still known by his name: the portion of Fergus was Kintyre, while that of Angus, was Ila. The death of his brothers soon left Fergus sole monarch of the Caledonian Scots, till A.D. 506, when his decease left Domangart, his son, in possession of his throne."
