Biography
The Chronicle of the Picts reports that Garthnart II became king in 584 after the death of Brude I. This is confirmed by the Irish annals . The Annals of Tigernach narrate the death of Gartnart in 599. Nekhton II became his successor [1] .
Some sources associate Garthnart II with the foundation of the monastery in Aberneti , although there are options with both Nekhton II and Nekhton I [2] .
Perhaps Gartnart II was the son of Aidan [3] . O'Rahilli denied this claim, since in the Irish annals he is called "the son of Domelch" [4] .
The historian Fraser called the existence of Garthnart a “genealogical fiction” created at the beginning of the 8th century to maintain the ambitions of Garthnart Senil, who was trying to establish his power in Kintyre [5] .
