Drest wasking of the Picts, in modernScotland, from about 834 until 837. He was the son of KingCaustantín and succeeded his uncle,Óengus, to the throne.
The length of his reign is based on the various Pictish king lists, where he is associated withTalorgan son of Uuthoil. Some sources, such asJohn of Fordun, conflate the two kings as "Durstolorger", perhaps under the influence of the earlier "Dubthalorc".
It was once thought that Pictish kings in this period were also kings ofDál Riata, but this is no longer supported.
