Английская Википедия:Drest son of Donuel
Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox royalty Drest son of Donuel (Шаблон:Lang-sga or Шаблон:Lang-sga; died 677) was king of the Picts from Шаблон:Circa 663 until 672. Like his brother and predecessor Gartnait son of Donuel, and Gartnait's predecessor Talorgan son of Eanfrith, he reigned as a puppet king under the Northumbrian king Oswiu.Шаблон:Sfn Gartnait and Drest may have been sons of Domnall Brecc, who was king of Dál Riata from Шаблон:Circa629 until he was killed in 642.Шаблон:Sfn
The length of Drest's reign is uncertain: the Pictish king lists give him a reign of six or seven years, while contemporary Irish annals imply a reign of eight or nine years.Шаблон:Sfn His accession to the kingship may be connected to the Battle of Luith Feirn recorded in the Annals of Ulster as taking place in 664,Шаблон:Sfn or Oswiu may have forced an interregnum on the kingdom from 663-666,Шаблон:Sfn after the death of Drest's brother Gartnait in 663.Шаблон:Sfn Drest's powerbase was probably as king of the northern Pictish kingdom of Fortriu.Шаблон:Sfn
Drest was expelled from his kingdom in 671, an event normally connected with the failed Pictish revolt against Northumbrian rule that culminated in crushing defeat at the hands of Ecgfrith of Northumbria at the Battle of Two Rivers.Шаблон:Sfn Stephen of Ripon records in his Life of St Wilfrid that the Picts had "gathered together innumerable nations (gentes) from every nook and corner in the north",Шаблон:Sfn suggesting that Drest had joined forces with other territories which were otherwise not politically united.Шаблон:Sfn Drest's successor was Ecgfrith's cousin Bridei son of Beli, who would eventually defeat and kill Ecgfrith and overthrow the Northumbrian hegemony at the Battle of Dun Nechtain in 685.Шаблон:Sfn
After his expulsion Drest continued to receive attention from Irish annals, suggesting he remained in the orbit of the Abbey of Iona, until his death in 677.Шаблон:Sfn
