Cé (Pictish territory)

Cé was a Pictish territory recorded during the Early Medieval period and located in the area of modern-day Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

The author of the Pictish Chronicle records that the Cé was formed after the division of Alba among the seven sons of Cruithne.

[4] Adomnán's Life of Columba records Columba in the late 6th century baptising a man called Artbranan, described as the "chief commander of the warband of the region of Cé" (Latin: Primarius Geonae cohortis).

In the far north and the Northern Isles was the kingdom of Cat, which later gave the name to the county of Caithness.

[9] By the 6th century, the Pictish people were divided into the larger kingdoms of the Northern and Southern Picts.
