  Notater	Eochaid succeeded to a kingship in turmoil in 697. Eochaid became king of Dal Riata in 726, when his predecessor (Cenel Loairn) was 'ousted from the kingship'. He survived a Cenel Loairn attack on his authority in 727, led by Selbach son of Ferchar Fota, and managed to hold his position without challenge until his death in 733. Following Eochaid's death, it appears that the kingship was shared between his brother Alpin, and Muiredach, the Cenel Loairn claimant, until Dal Riata was subjugated by Oengus, king of the Picts, in 736. Eochaid's wife, Spondana was a daughter of Entfidich, Irish Chieftan, who married a daughter of Bili map Nechtan, King of Strathclyde (shown elsewhere in this genealogy).
