Malcolm III CANMORE (b. c. 1031--d. Nov. 13, 1093, near Alnwick, Northumberland, England.), king of Scotland from 1058 to 1093, founder of the dynasty that consolidated royal power in the Scottish kingdom.
The son of King Duncan I (reigned 1034-40), Malcolm lived in exile in England during part of the reign of his father's murderer, Macbeth (reigned 1040-57). Malcolm killed Macbeth in battle in 1057 and then ascended the throne. After the conquest of England by William the Conqueror, in 1066, Malcolm gave refuge to the Anglo-Saxon prince Edgar the Aetheling and his sisters, one of whom, Margaret (later St. Margaret), became his second wife.
Malcolm acknowledged the overlordship of William in 1072 but nevertheless soon violated his feudal obligations and made five raids into England. During the last of these invasions he was killed by the forces of King William II Rufus (reigned 1087-1100). Except for a brief interval after Malcolm's death, the Scottish throne remained in his family until the death of Queen Margaret, the Maid of Norway, in 1290. Of Malcolm's six sons by Margaret, three succeeded to the throne: Edgar (reigned 1097-1107), Alexander I (1107-24), and David I (1124-53). [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97]
According to Brian Tompsett, "interred at Escorial, Madrid, Spain."
Malcolm III built Kindrochit Castle, Braemar, Aberdeenshire between 1057-1093.
Note:
What's with these death dates? Malcolm, his wife and two sons all died within 3 days of one another. Was there an overthrow? A plague? Interesting. Oops, just looked it up: Malcolm was assassinated in 1093 (apparently along with his wife and two sons), replaced by Donaldbane, who was deposed by Duncan II, (assassinated) replaced by Donaldbane (again) who was again deposed, this time by King Edgar. Duncan I was assassinated by Macbeth (as described by Shakespeare). All in all an astonishingly stormy period:
Duncan I 1034-1040 assassinated
Macbeth 1040-1057 assassinated
Lulach 1057-1058 died
Malcolm III 1058-1093 assassinated
Donaldbane 1093-1094 deposed
Duncan II May-Nov 1094 assassinated
Donaldbane (again) 1094-1097 deposed
Edgar 1097-1107 died
Alexander I 1107-1124 [son of Malcolm III]
David (Saint) 1124-1153 d. [son of Malcolm III]
Malcolm IV 1153-1165 d. [son of Malcolm III]
Begs the question--why was their daughter Margaret left unscathed? 7 years later, she married Henri Beauclerc the king of England. Why Alexander, David (Saint) and Edgar, all left alive, who went on to become kings of Scotland in their own right?
