biographical and/or anecdotal:
HBJ which
is generally well-researched quotes:
In 498 A.D., with five of his brothers, he
went into Scotland with a complete army to assist his grandfather *Eóghanr
(Loarn or Owen) Find macNéill King of Dalraide, in overcoming his enemies,
the Picts. Upon the King's death, Fergus was unanimously elected king, and
became the first absolute king of Scotland, of the Milesian race.
This sounds
like a Victorian romance however and it is more likely according to "Biographical
Encyclopedia of the Kings & Queens of Great Britain" by Mike Ashley
That
his father was Earc of Dalriada. His name (MacEarc) indicates this as well.
