Finguine was the great-grandson of
Conall mac Comgaill, and the father of
Dargart mac Finguine, who was in turn the father of
Bridei son of Der-Ilei and
Naiton son of Der-Ilei, both 8th-century kings of
Fortriu and of the
Picts. Finguine may after 671 have formed a three-way alliance with
Bridei son of Beli, king of Pictish
Fortriu, and Bridei's nephew
Eugein, who was king of the
British kingdom of
Alt Clut. This coalition may have been behind the siege of
Dunadd in 682, that saw Finguine eclipse
Máel Dúin mac Conaill of
Cenél nGabráin. Finguine's death is reported in the
Annals of Ulster. He was the last significant dynastic figure of Cenél Comgaill, though it remained prominent in Argyll politics over the following generation, probably because of the influence of Finguine's grandchildren as kings of Fortriu. ==References==
