(Redirected from Drest VI of the Picts)
Drest (Drest mac Domnal or Drest mac Dúngail; died 677) was king of the Picts from 663 until 672.
He succeeded his brother Gartnait IV on the latter's death in 662.[1] The Pictish Chronicle king lists give him a reign of six or seven years. He is presumed to have been the leader of the failed Pictish Revolt against Ecgfrith of Northumbria in 671.[2]
The Annals of Ulster and the Annals of Tigernach for 671 record that he was deposed as king, presumably by Bridei.[3] He died in 677.[4]
