Bridei, son of maelgwyn ( welsh king of Gwynedd) ruled as pictish king in inverness from about 554- 584 apparently in his 8th year of rule he was baptised by columba there is no reason to suggest he was not christain before hand as you stated.
I may be wrong here but once the picts and the scotts came together in union under kenneth macalpin in 843 it is thought that the pictish lineage system changed from the female line as it had always been to the male line like the scotts. This would account for changes on the symbol stones after that point and maybe even the demise of the 'z' and 'v' symbols as if they were female lineages and as has been suggested the stones represent marriages of different famillies the female name would be obscured by the new dominant male lineage.It is just a thought probably crap !
caroline (probably of pictish origin what ever a pict is) x
