Note: The Picts had a rare matrilinear society (i.e., succession passed through female lines). Alpin's mother was a Pictish Princess of the Fortrinn (Verturinones) House, which reigned from at least circa 250, who's brothers reigned as High Kings of Alba (Albany) by the fifth century. They ruled also from pagan times with the throne name of Bruide. -- Jessica
