Narrative

Name Prefix:<NPFX> King
Name Suffix:<NSFX> Iii, Of Scotland
Colonial and Revolutionary Liuneages of America (973 D2ah) Vol. 2
Called Ceannmor or Canmore, succeeded to the throne of Scotland by the defeat
of Macbeth in 1054. During his reign he carried on almost constant warfare,
most of which was successful. He gave support to his brother-in-law, Edgar
Atheling, in fighting William the Conquorer in Northumbria. In 1072 William
invaded Scotland and succeeded in a temporary conquest of the country,
returning to England after Malcom did homage. Later, in 1091, Malcom raided
Northern England, in return for which William Rufus invaded Scotland and once
more Malcom did homage. In 1092 , when in Gloucester, England, he declined to
do homage and returned to Scotland in anger. He invaded Northumberland in 1093,
but was ambuscaded near the Castle of Alnwick and slain.

called Canmore (Ceanmohr, or Great-head), King of Scotland, was eldest son of Duncan, who was murdered by Macbeth in 1039. After Duncan's death Malcolm fled for safety to his kinsman, Siward, Danish Earl of Northumberland, and continued to live for many years in England. In 1054 Siward, with the sanction of Edward the Confessor <kingedw.html>, led an army into Scotland, encountered Macbeth near Dunsinane, defeated him, and left Malcolm in possession. Macbeth retired into the North, and the contest was only ended in 1056, by his defeat and death at Lumphanan. Malcolm remained at peace with England during the reign of Edward the Confessor, but on the accession of Harold <kingh.html>he favoured the attempt of Tostig. After the battle of Hastings he welcomed to his court Edgar the Atheling <prince.html>, with his mother and two sisters, and soon married one of them, the Princess Margaret. In 1070 he invaded England, ravaged Durham, and carried off so many prisoners that for years after English slaves were found in every hamlet of Scotland. This raid was avenged by a more savage and destructive devastation of Northumbria by William the Conqueror <kingw.html>. Malcolm agreed to do homage, and Edgar left his court, but he continued to give his protection to the English exiles. Disputes arose with William Rufus <kingw.html>, and in 1091 Malcolm again invaded England, but retired without fighting. William invaded Scotland the next year, but peace was made by the mediation of Duke Robert and Edgar. In 1093 Malcolm once more made an incursion into England and besieged Alnwick Castle. He was attacked by Roger de Mowbray and killed in the battle, November 13th of that year. His queen, Margaret, heard the tidings, and died three days later.

Killed at the siege of Alnwick.
Malcolm was buried first at Tynemouth, before being moved to Dunfermline.
A character in Macbeth, as Malcolm, son of Duncan, the King of Scotland--although Shakespeare's chronology had little to do with real life.
---------------------
born c. 1031
died Nov. 13, 1093, near Alnick, Northumberland, Eng.
King of Scotland (1058–93).
The son of King Duncan I, he lived in exile in England after Macbeth murdered his father. He defeated and killed Macbeth in 1057 and was crowned king, founding a dynasty that consolidated royal power in Scotland. He gave refuge to the Anglo-Saxon prince Edgar the Aetheling in 1066. Though he recognized William I as overlord in 1072, Malcolm made five raids into England, during the last of which he was killed.
