Everything about Ceretic Of Alt Clut totally explained
Ceretic Guletic of Alt Clut was a
king of Alt Clut (modern
Dumbarton) in the
fifth century. He appears in the writings of
St. Patrick with the Latin name
Corocticus, and this appearance in a contemporary historical source makes him the first historical king. Of Patrick's two surviving letters, one is addressed to this Corocticus, and in it Patrick lambasts the
milites Coroctici ("
warband of Ceretic") for his involvement with the
Picts and the
Scots, and for selling newly-Christianized Gaels into the hands of the Picts. Ceretic's dates therefore depend on the conclusions of the vast scholarship devoted to discovering the
floruit of St Patrick, but the sometime in the fifth century is probably safe. Ceretic appears also in the
Harleian genealogies of the rulers of Alt Clut, from which we know his father (Cynloyp), grandfather (Cinhil) and great-grandfather (Cluim). It is from the latter source that we get his nickname,
Guletic ("Land-holder"). In the
Book of Armagh, he's called
Coirthech rex Aloo, "Ceretic, King of the Height [ofthe Clyde]"
