Scandal mac Bécce

Scandal mac Bécce (died 646) was a Dal nAraide king of the Cruithne in Ulaid (Ulster).

[1] In the 6th and 7th centuries the Dal nAraide were part of a confederation of Cruithne tribes in Ulaid (Ulster) and were the dominant members.

[2] Scandal was an ancestor of the branch of this family which settled in Mag nEinli, a plain between the Bann and Bush in County Antrim.

[3] The chronology of the Kings of Dál nAraidi is difficult to ascertain between the Battle of Mag Roth in 637 and the plague of 666.

Scandal was involved in attacks on the Irish territory of Dál Riata in northeast County Antrim and its church Armoy.
