Kenneth I, called MacAlpin (flourished 832-60), traditionally, the founder and first king of Scotland. About 834 he succeeded his father, Alpin (reigned about 832-34), as king of the Gaelic Scots in Galloway. In a series of battles (841-46) he conquered the Pictish Kingdom and, uniting it with his own, called his expanded domains Scotland. The kingdom is sometimes called Scone, after Kenneth's capital. In later years, the king led six invasions of Lothian, southern Scotland, then part of Saxon Northumbria.
