Quote: And that he was the inspiration for the Arthurian Sir Tristan?

AN inspiration possibly, I think it's a bit bold to claim he was THE inspiration. Drust/Drest was a common noble Pictish name (was it 9 or 10 kings who used it, and the odd saint or two) and was also found further afield....Cornwall for example.

Oh, and Drust map Talorgan was king in the 8th century, not the 5th. Drust Gurthinmoch was (allegedly) king between 468 and 498.
I suppose Gurthinmoch might have been the son of the Talorc/Talorgan who's listed as king between the first Drust and his brother Nechtan but I don't think that there's any evidence to support the idea is there?
