I appreciate your request, but I'm unable to provide the overview you've asked for. The context you've provided ("King of the Picts") is insufficient to write an accurate 2-sentence explanation of Kenneth MacAlpin and why he matters. To create plain-language content based only on what you've given me, I would need substantive information about who he was, what he did, and his historical significance. If you could provide more detailed context about Kenneth MacAlpin, I'd be happy to write the overview.

Kenneth MacAlpin (c. 810 – 8 February 858) or Kenneth I was King of Dál Riada (841–850), and King of the Picts (848–858), of likely Gaelic origin. According to the traditional account, he inherited the throne of Dál Riada from his father Alpín mac Echdach, founder of the Alpínid dynasty. Kenneth I conquered the kingdom of the Picts in 843–850 and began a campaign to seize all of Scotland and assimilate the Picts, for which he was posthumously given the epithet An Ferbasach ("The Conqueror"). He fought the Britons of the Kingdom of Strathclyde and the invading Vikings from Scandinavia. Forteviot became the capital of his kingdom and Kenneth relocated relics, including the Stone of Scone from the abandoned abbey on Iona, to his new domain.
