  • Notes 
    • Senchus Fer n Alban Domangart, moreover, had two sons i. Gabran and Comgell, two sons of Fedelm, daughter of Brion, son of Eocho Mugmedon.

      Reign of Domangart, son of Fergus Mor #1, son of Erc (or son of Mac Misi Mor, son of Fergus?) Born in Scotland. He married Fedelmia, daughter of Eochy Mogmedon. Died in 506. Father of Gabhran, #5. (501–507) The Tripartite Life of St. Patrick says that Domangart was present at Patrick's death bed. The Annals of the Four Masters note that, in the year 462, "Domhangort, son of Nissi" died. According to O'Donovan's notes, this Domanghort was King of Alba.

      Wikipedia
      Domangart Réti was king of Dál Riata in the early 6th century, following the death of his father, Fergus Mór.

      He had at least two sons: Comgall and Gabrán, both of whom became kings in succession. The Tripartite Life of St. Patrick states that he was present at the death of the saint, c. 493. Domangart died around 507 and was succeeded by Comgall.

      His byname, Réti, appears in Adomnán's Life of Saint Columba, in the form Corcu Réti, perhaps a synonym for Dál Riata. Corcu, a Primitive Irish language term for a kin group, usually combined with the name of a divine or mythical ancestor, is apparently similar to the term Dál. Alternatively, rather that representing an alternative name for all of Dál Riata, it has been suggested Corcu Réti was the name given to the kin group which later divided to form the Cenél nGabráin of Kintyre and the Cenél Comgaill of Cowal, thus excluding the Cenél nÓengusa of Islay and the Cenél Loairn of middle and northern Argyll.
