King Domhnall Brecc of Dál Riata — who had pursued a disastrously aggressive foreign policy — was killed at Strathcarron (in the Forth valley) by Owen of Strathclyde. The Gododdin poem references this battle. Domhnall Brecc's death after multiple military defeats was a turning point — Dál Riata never recovered its earlier dominance in the region and its power gradually declined over the following century until the Viking catastrophe of 839.
