Talorgan II of the Picts

Talorgan II of the Picts

Talorgan (Scottish Gaelic: "Talorgen mac Óengusa") was a king of the Picts. The Annals of Ulster report the death of "Dub Tholargg" (Black Talorcen) "king of the Picts on this side of the Mounth" in 782. He is presumed to have been the son of Óengus mac Fergusa. He was succeeded by his son Drest.
