Run of Alt Clut Totally Explained

Everything about Run Of Alt Clut totally explained

Run of Alt Clut was the ruler of Alt Clut (modern Dumbarton Rock, Scotland) and Strathclyde (the "Clyde Valley"), probably from the death of Artgal in 872 until 878. According to the Harleian genealogies, he was the son of Artgal, his predecessor as king. Run is in fact the last king of the north to appear in the Welsh genealogy, and this fact probably means that the pedigree was Run's own. Run was married to the daughter of Kenneth MacAlpin (Cináed mac Ailpín), perhaps at the instigation of Kenneth's son Constantine I (Causantín mac Cináeda). The marriage produced Eochaid, who, with Giric, possibly held overlordship of Scotland after the death of Run's brother-in-law, Áed (Áed mac Cináeda), until their deposition by King Donald II (Domnall mac Causantín). To what extent Run ever ruled independently from his Scottish overlords is unknown, and that he reigned at all is just an educated guess, although the Chronicle of the Kings of Alba does specify that his son Eochaid ruled as "King of the Britons". If Run did indeed reign, it may have been during Run's reign the church of Saint Constantine at Govan was founded. Run's death is unrecorded, but it was probably in 878 when we know Eochaid became king.
