Eugenius III possibly married the only daughter of Alpin, son of Wroid (King of the Picts, 775-779). Another theory is that Eugenius III married Fergusia, daughter of Hungus, King of the Picts. Eugenius III reigned 814-827.

Eochaid mac Áeda Find is a spurious King of Dál Riata found in some rare High Medieval king-lists and in older history books. Supposedly a son of Áed Find (died 778) and successor to Áed's brother Fergus mac Echdach , Eochaid is now thought to represent a misplacing of the reign of Eochaid mac Echdach . The reigns of Selbach mac Ferchair , Dúngal mac Selbaig and, perhaps, Alpín mac Echdach , are similarly misplaced in the sources which contain this Eochaid.
