Pip killed Botulf's son and heir prince Bardolf in battle, later receiving blows to the left arm and thigh.

He repelled an invasion led by Botulf's younger brother Begald, killing him in the process, and a year later orchestrated an invasion against King Botulf on the outskirts of the Hissingard, becoming King of the Staynish after the defeat of King Botulf at the battle of Kasilly Rock in 972.
