When Drust deposed Nechtan for rulership of the Picts in 724 he cast the kingdom into a period of anarchy where other tribal chieftains fought for supremacy, including those of neighboring kingdoms. The kingdom of Dal Riata was also in the midst of a dynastic struggle between the descendents of Fergus and those of Loarn. Through the various marriages and inter-marriages of his forebears Alpin had as much claim on the Pictish throne as he did on that of Dal Riata. Quite what happened is not clear, but it is evident that there was intense squabbling for both thrones amongst some seven or eight contenders. In the space of the year 726 Dungal was deposed from Dal Riata and Drust, whom he supported, from rulership of the Picts. Alpin defeated Drust and claimed rulership of the Picts which he held for nearly two years, despite further opposition from Drust and Angus. By 728, Angus proved the more powerful contender and defeated Alpin at the battle of Monid Croib where Alpin own son was killed. Alpin endeavored to hang on to the kingdom, but he was again defeated, this time by Nechtan at Moncrieffe Hill, and Alpin fled back to the safety of his brother's kingdom. When Alpin's brother Eochaid died in 733, Alpin assumed rulership of Dal Riata, but he was faced with opposition from Muiredach of the dynasty of Loarn. For three years civil war raged between the Scots which was only concluded when Angus, now in charge of the Picts and growing in might, invaded Dal Riata and convincingly defeated both Alpin and Muiredach. From 736 until 750 the kingdoms of the Picts and the Scots were united. Alpin's fate is now known -- he either died in battle or fled to Ireland.
