«b»King of Scotland or Alba,«/b» the united kingdom of the Picts and Scots (862-877), who succeeded his uncle Donald I.
Constantine's reign was occupied with conflicts with the Norsemen. Olaf the White, the Danish king of Dublin, laid waste the country of the Picts and Britons year after year; in the south the Danish leader Halfdan devastated Northumberland and Galloway. Constantine was slain at a battle at Inverdovat in Fife, at the hands of another band of northern marauders. His heir was his brother Aed, who was killed by the Scots after a year and was succeeded by a nephew, Eochaid.
He was also King of the Picts & Scots.

Inverdorat, the Black Cove, Angus.
