Dubacan of Angus (Medieval Gaelic: Dubacan mac Indrechtaich) wasMormaer of Angus and the firstmormaer of any of the provinces of theKingdom of Alba to be named individually.[1] He is mentioned asDubucan filius Indrechtaig mormair Oengusa (i.e. "Dubucan son of Indrechtach, Mormaer of Angus") in theChronicle of the Kings of Alba, and it is told that he died along with his lord, Amlaib, son ofConstantine II of Scotland at theBattle of Brunanburh (c. 937).[2]
There is another Dubacan, calledDufagan comes in a spurious foundationcharter forScone Abbey. The latter has no province name, but he is often called Mormaer orEarl of Angus because he shares the same name as Dubacan son of Indrechtach.
Dubacan is considered a probable ancestor ofGilla Brigte of Angus.[3] It is possible that Dubacan was succeeded by a man calledCuncar, although there is no information about their exact relationship.
