"This family was prominent in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquitaine">Aquitaine</a>, an area with a name that also has its roots in <i>acquae </i>("waters") or <i>acqs</i>, as indeed does the town name of Dax, west of Toulouse, which stems from <i>d'Acqs</i>. Here, Merovingian kingly branches that evolved from the Fisher Kings became Counts of Toulouse and Narbonne, also Princes of the Septimanian Midi (the territory between France and Spain). </div>
<br />
<div>
"Another family branch, related through the female line, was granted the Celtic Church heritage of Avallon, with Viviane del Acqs acknowledged as the hereditary High Queen in the early 6th Century. Subsequently, in Brittany, a corresponding male branch of the Provencal House del Acqs became the Comtes (Counts) de Leon d'Acqs in descent from Viviane I's granddaughter Morgaine." (p. 112)</div>

<br />
<br />
<div>
One of the sons of the Scottish King Aidan of Dalriada was named Arthur (<a href="http://www.kingarthurlegend.com/kingdom-of-manann.html">Arthuir Mac Aidan</a>), and this Arthur is a strong candidate for the real King Arthur behind the ancient legend.</div>
<br />
<div>
Traditionally, the Arthurian legends are divided among the Matter of Britain (Wales and Cornwall), and the Matter of France (Brittany and Acquitaine).</div>
<br />
<div>
However, some revisionists have argued that there is such a thing as the Matter of Scotland -- a respectable body of sources pointing to Scotland as the birthplace of the real-life King Arthur.</div>
<br />
<div>
Prince Arthur Mac Aidan stands high on their list of candidates for King Arthur for the following reasons:</div>
<br />
<ul>
<li>His name is right</li>
<br />
<li>The time period (6th Century) is right</li>
<br />
<li>Arthuir MacAidan was a war lord who fought against Northumbrians and Picts</li>
<br />
<li>Arthuir is said to have used a Roman fort called Camelon near Falkirk</li>
<br />
<li>Arthuir had a sister called Morgan (like the legendary King Arthur)</li>
<br />
<li>Arthuir's brother was named Euwen (Owain)</li>
<br />
<li>Arthuir was a contemporary of Myrddin Wyllt, a mystic madman (model for Merlin)</li>
<br />
<li>Arthuir's father, Aidan, was buried on the Island of Iona</li>
<br />
<li>Arthuir himself was buried (582 A.D.) at a place called Invalone (Avalon?), an island near the river of Forth</li>
<br />
<li>Several local sites carry the name Arthur (Loch Arthur, bin Arthur, Arthur's seat)</li>
<br />
<li>The Kingdom of Strathclyde had close cultural and linguistic links to Wales</li>
<br />
<li>Refugees from Strathclyde may have carried their legends to Wales ca. 1000.</li>
</ul>

<div>
From Mike Ashley's <i>Mammoth Book of British Kings and Queens</i> p. 199</div>
<br />
"According to Admonan's <i>Life of Columba</i>, Columba identified Eochaid as the successor to Aedan mac Gabhran, even though he was one of Aedan's younger sons, recognizing that the elder sons would be killed in battle. This prophecy happened before the battle against the Maetae in around 590, at which time Eochaid was still young enough to sit on Columba's lap, which suggests he was probably born around the year 583 or 584."<br />

<br />
<div>
"The official genealogy of the Kings of Dalriada, declaimed by the royal Sennachie at the Scottish Coronation, traces their succession from <b>Fergus Mor MacErc</b> (circa 496), a scion of the Royal House of the Kings of Ireland, down to the above mentioned.</div>
<br />
<div>
"The Royal House of Scotland arose from the union in 843 of the Kingdom of the Scots, Dalriada with Caledonia, the kingdom of the Picts, which latter comprised the northern and eastern parts of the country. The Kings of the Picts, <b>Ard Righ Albann</b>, according to their chroniclers, derived from <b>Cruithne</b>, King of the Picts (from whose seven younger sons the original Seven Earls or provincial Kings of Caledonia were deduced) through seventy kings (of whom the 49th, <b>Brude MacMaelcon</b>, 565, and <b>Nectan MacDerili,</b> 596-617, were converted to Christianity), to the 71st, <b>Constantine MacAngus</b>, whose successor, Angus II (821-833) had a son <b>Eoghain MacAngus</b> (73rd) and a daughter, Fergusia, married to Eocha, of the Royal House of Dalriada, and had <b>Alpin</b>, who claimed the Pictish throne on Eoghain's death in 839, and was father of <b>Kenneth MacAlpin</b>, of whom presently as 74th <b>Ard Righ Albann</b>."</div>
