| Notes |
- Gabran was the youngest son of Domangart.[1] He served as king of Dal Riata (Dalriadic Scotland) after his brother, Comgall, from about 540 to 560[2] or 537 to 559.[3]
Gabran was the father of Aedan, Eoganan, Cuildeach, Domnall, and Domangart.[4]
Some research say, "Gabran was slain by Brude mac Melcon." And then in the fanaticus.org it states, "In 558 AD, King Brude Mac Maelchon of the Picts resoundly defeated the Dalraidic King Gabran in battle and in that same year Gabran died (whether or not he died in the battle is unclear). No further battles are recorded for 15 years. [5]
Gabrán mac Domangairt, the son of Domangart and Feldelm was a king of Dál Riata. [6]
He is the ancestor of the Cenél nGabráin [7]
