Drest X of The Picts

Drest (Scottish Gaelic: Drust) was king of the Picts from before 845 until 848, a rival of Kenneth MacAlpin (Cináed mac Ailpín). According to the Pictish Chronicle, he was the son of Uurad.

The myth of MacAlpin's Treason was attached to a king named Drest, and it may be this king who is intended. He was the last king of the Picts.

Famous quotes containing the word drest:

    “While they stand at home at the door he is dead already,
    The only son is dead.

    But the mother needs to be better,
    She with thin form presently drest in black,
    By day her meals untouch’d, then at night fitfully sleeping, often waking,
    In the midnight waking, weeping, longing with one deep longing,
    O that she might withdraw unnoticed, silent from life escape and
    withdraw,
    To follow, to seek, to be with her dear dead son.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
