''[[Ríthe Dhál Riada|Rí Dhál Riada]] in iarthar na [[Albain|hAlban]] ba ea '''Dúngal Dúnghal mac SelbaigSealbhaigh ''' was ([[kingMeán-Ghaeilge]] of'''Dúngal [[Dálmac Riata]]Selbaig'''). HisH is reign can best be placed in the years 723 to 726, beginning with the abdication of his father, [[Selbach mac Ferchair|Sealbhach mac Fearchair]], who entered a monastery, and ending with the rise of [[Eochaid mac Echdach|Eochaidh mac Eochach]] of the CenélChineál nGabráinGhabhráin. The High Medieval praise poem ''[[Duan Albanach]]'' names Dúngal '''the Impetuous''', and claims that he ruled for seven years.

'' For over a generation before DúngalDúnghal's reign, the [[Cenél Loairn|Cineál Loairn]], to which he belonged, and theCineál CenélGhabhráin nGabráin had contested for control of Dál RiataRiada. It seems that Dúngal's father had finally managed to defeat his rivals shortly before he abdicated. For whatever reason, DúngalDúnghal soon lost power to the Cenél nGabráin. His father left the monastery and attempted to restore his son, but failed.

'' While DúngalDúnghal was no longer king of Dál RiataRiada after 726, it may be that he remained ruler of the CenélCineál Loairn. Certainly he retained some following. In 731, he burned Tairpert Boitir, most probably [[Tarbert, Kintyre|Tarbert]] on [[Loch Fyne]] which was in the lands of the CenélCineál nGabráinGhabhráin and possibly a [[portage]] site.

'' In 733, the [[Annála Uladh]] report that Dúngal profaned [[Tory IslandToraigh]] by forcibly removing Bruide, who is presumed to be the son of [[Óengus I of the Picts|Óengus mac Fergusa]], king of the [[PictsCruithnigh]]. This entry is followed by the statement that Dúngal's cousin, [[Muiredach mac Ainbcellaig|Muireadhach mac Ainfhaichilligh]], became king of the Cenél Loairn, and it seems probable that the rise of MuiredachMuireadhach, and DúngalDúnghal's epithet, stem from his doings on Tory Island.

'' In 734, DúngalDúnghal fled to Ireland, "to escape the power of Óengus". Dúngal Dúnghal later returned to Scotland, and was captured in 736, along with his brother FeredachFeareadhach, by Óengus. TheirT heir subsequent fates are unknown.
