Drest VI
Drest was king of the Picts from 663 until 672.
He succeeded his brother Gartnait IV on the latter's death in 662. The Pictish Chronicle king lists give him a reign of six or seven years. He is presumed to have been the leader of the failed Pictish Revolt against Ecgfrith of Northumbria in 671.
The Annals of Ulster and the Annals of Tigernach for 671 record that he was deposed as king, presumably by Bridei. He died in 677.
