note:
supposed wife (very uncertain) Spontana [Ref: HenryII eoch0002 4/30/2007]
Research Notes:
known to be Pictish, because she and Eochaidh had a son named Alpin, a Pictish name, and that this Alpin ruled over both his father's people (Scots) and his mother's people (Picts) [Ref: Jared Olar SGM 4/15/1996]

In Hector Boece's CHRONICLE OF SCOTLAND (written in the 1500's A.D. and full of a humongous gob of legend and fiction) says that a Scottish king named "Eugenius" married a Pictish princess named "Spondana, daughter of Garnardus, King of the Picts." [Ref: Jared Olar SGM 4/15/1996]

if there is any truth to Boece's story that Spontana existed (itself unlikely), then we should also accept his statement that this woman died while pregnant in the year after her marriage [Ref: HenryII eoch0003 4/30/2007]
