    • Name: Máel Coluim mac Cináeda
    • Royalty & Nobility: Between 1005 and 1034; King of the Scots

    Notes:

    To the Irish annals which recorded his death, Malcolm was ard rí Alban, High King of Scotland. In the same way that Brian Bóruma, High King of Ireland, was not the only king in Ireland, Malcolm was one of several kings within the geographical boundaries of modern Scotland: his fellow kings included the king of Strathclyde, who ruled much of the south-west, various Norse-Gael kings on the western coast and the Hebrides and, nearest and most dangerous rivals, the kings or Mormaers of Moray. To the south, in the Kingdom of England, the Earls of Bernicia and Northumbria, whose predecessors as kings of Northumbria had once ruled most of southern Scotland, still controlled large parts of the southeast. Malcolm demonstrated a rare ability to survive among early Scottish kings by reigning for twenty-nine years. He was a clever and ambitious man.

    Died:
    Possibly murdered in a hunting lodge at Glamis Castle

    • Royalty & Nobility: Princess of Scotland
    • Web Address: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/MacAlpin-33

    Notes:

    Bethóc was the eldest daughter of the Malcolm II of Scotland, who had no known surviving sons. She married Crínán, Abbot of Dunkeld. Their older son, Donnchad I, ascended to the throne of Scotland around 1034. Malcolm's youngest daughter married Sigurd Hlodvirsson, Earl of Orkney.[1] Early writers have asserted that Máel Coluim also designated Donnchad as his successor under the rules of tanistry because there were other possible claimants to the throne.

    In this period, the Scottish throne still passed in Picto-Gaelic matrilineal fashion, from brother to brother, uncle to nephew, and cousin to cousin.

    Bethóc married DUNKELD, Crínán of about 1005. Crínán was born about 975 in Atholl, Perthshire, Scotland; died in 1045 in Dunkeld, Perthshire, Scotland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Differentiator: He is the historical basis of the "King Duncan" in Shakespeare's play Macbeth
    • Relation to Me: 30 GGF
    • Name: Donnchad mac Crinain (Modern Gaelic: Donnchadh mac Crìonain;[2] anglicised as Duncan I, and nicknamed An t-Ilgarach, "the Diseased" or "the Sick"
    • Royalty & Nobility: Between 1034 and 1040; King of Scotland

    Notes:

    Unlike the "King Duncan" of Shakespeare's Macbeth, the historical Duncan appears to have been a young man. He followed his grandfather Malcolm as king after the latter's death on 25 November 1034, without apparent opposition. He may have been Malcolm's acknowledged successor or Tànaiste as the succession appears to have been uneventful.
