Malcolm violated the established system of succession whereby thekingship alternated between two branches of the royal family. UponMalcolm's death, Duncan succeeded peacefully, but he soon faced therivalry of Macbeth, Mormaor (subking) of Moray, who probably had a betterclaim to the throne. Duncan besieged Durham unsuccessfully in 1039 and inthe following year was murdered by Macbeth near Elgin, Moray. Duncan'selder son later killed Macbeth and ruled as King Malcolm III Canmore.
