Drest VI

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]
