Notes:

Malcolm II., born about 980, died November 25, 1034. He succeeded to the throne in 1003, and had a troubled reign of about thirty years. He defeated Kenneth IV., at Monievaird in Strathearn, and in consequence became king. His annoyance came from the Danes who, in previous reigns, had made several attempts to effect a settlement in Scotland, but had been defeated in all of them. They had secured a firm footing in England, and the year after Malcolm's accession to the throne, they commenced the most formidable preparations, under their celebrated king, Sweyn, for a new expedition to the Scottish coasts. Malcolm finally defeated this initial invasion in 1010. There was a second attempt made to gain a foothold in Northern England, but it too was defeated. In 1014, another Danish force landed on the coast of Buchan. The Danes on this occasion were led by Sweyn's celebrated son, Canute, afterwards King of England and Denmark, and again they experienced a signal overthrow. A treaty was drawn up which stipulated that the Danes agreed to quit every part of the Scottish coasts, and this was followed by the final departure, the same year, of these invaders from Scotland. Malcolm was next engaged in war with the Northumbrians, and, having in 1018, led his army to Carham, near Werk, on the south bank of the Tweed River, he was met there by Uchtred, Earl of Northumberland, when a desperate battle took place. The victory was claimed by Uchtred, who was, soon after, assassinated, when on his way to pay his obeisance to the great Canute. He killed Kenneth III., son of Dub. He had no sons. Having succeeded as King of Alba in 1005, Malcolm II. secured Lothian by the battle of Carham about 1016 and about the same time obtained Strathclyde for his grandson, Duncan, thus forming the kingdom of Scotland.

Malcolm married Sigurd OF SCOTLAND. Sigurd was born about 985; and died. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Doda (Donada), the younger daughter, married Synel, Lord of Glammis. Another source names the husband Finlaec, mormaer (sub-king) of Moray. They had a son, Macbeth, born about 1005, who died on August 15, 1057, killed by Malcolm III., after Macbeth killed Duncan, Malcolm's father. This same source has Macbeth marrying about 1032, Gruoch. Macbeth was the model on whom Shakespeare based his famous character in "Macbeth."

Notes:

Beatrice was the eldest daughter of Malcolm II, married Crinan the Thane, Lord of the Isles, hereditary Abbot of Dunkeld, born in 975, died in 1045. She was the aunt of Macbeth. They had a son, Duncan.

Berthoc married Crinan I "the Thane" de Mormaer EARL OF DENKELD OF SCOTLAND. Crinan (son of Duncan Mormaer OF ATOLL) was born about 978 in Atholl, Perth, Perthshire, Scotland; died about 1045 in Dunkeld, Payside, Perth, Scotland. [Group Sheet]
