Óengus II dei Pitti

Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera.

Óengus mac Fergusa, Onuist, Hungus o Angus (fl. IX secolo), è stato re dei Pitti dall'820 all'834.

La tradizione lo associa col culto di Sant'Andrea e con la bandiera della Scozia. La sua famiglia discenderebbe da re Óengus mac Fergusa, che era probabilmente originaria di Circinn (da alcuni studi collocata nella regione storica di Mearns)[1]. Óengus, insieme al fratello, figlio di Eogán e nipote di Domnall, viene incluso nei Duan Albanach. Si pensa che il nipote di Óengus, Domnall, regnasse sulla Dál Riata proprio in questo stesso periodo (ca. 811835)[2] Óengus morì nell'834 e questo è l'unico evento del suo regno ricordato dalle fonti annalistiche irlandesi, insieme al fatto che a lui succedette il nipote Drest mac Caustantín. Il figlio di Óengus, Eogán, salì in seguito sul trono e fu ucciso in battaglia dai Vichinghi insieme al fratello nell'839.
