Alpín died on 20 July or in August 834 when he was either killed while fighting the Picts in Galloway or beheaded after the battle. [5] His place of burial is not recorded. His son Kenneth MacAlpin succeeded him.
The House of Alpin, also known as the Alpinid dynasty, Clann Chináeda, and Clann Chinaeda meic Ailpín, was the kin-group which ruled in Pictland, possibly Dál Riata, and then the kingdom of Alba from Constantine II (Causantín mac Áeda) in the 940s until the death of Malcolm II (Máel Coluim mac Cináeda) in 1034.
A son of Cináed mac Ailpín ("Kenneth MacAlpin"), he succeeded his uncle Domnall mac Ailpín as Pictish king following the latter's death on 13 April 862. It is likely that the reign of Causantín witnessed increased activity by Vikings, based in Ireland, Northumbria and northern Britain. He died fighting one such invasion.
The Annals of Ulster says that, in 878, "Áed mac Cináeda, king of the Picts, was killed by his associates."
