Malcolm II of Scotland
Malcolm II of Scotland (Máel Coluim mac Cináeda) (c. 954 – November 25, 1 034) was King of Scotland (Alba) from 1005 to 1034. He was the son of K ing Kenneth II and first cousin of his predecessor, King Kenneth III (C ináed mac Duib), who was murdered by Malcolm at the Battle of Monzievai rd in 1005. He was the last king of the House of Alpin.
His rule was contested for ten years during the reign of Kenneth III bu t Malcolm finally gained the throne after Kenneth's death. It appears t hat he only ruled part of Scotland during his reign, in opposition to l eaders from Moray such as Findláech mac Ruadrí (d. 1020, probably fathe r of Macbeth), and Máel Coluim mac Máel Brigte (d. 1029), both of whom w ere also called kings of Alba (and therefore Scotland) in the Irish ann als, though neither are called kings of Scotland in modern texts. In 10 06, Malcolm was defeated by Northumbrian forces at Durham. The English t hen became preoccupied with the Danish allowing Malcolm to march south, a venging the loss at Durham by winning the Battle of Carham against the A nglo-Saxons in 1018 and, thereby, regaining Lothian. Thirteen years lat er, however, Canute, king of England, Denmark, and Norway, travelled to S cotland. What happened is lost to time, but claims that Malcolm submitt ed to Canute seem very unlikely. However, Canute seems to have recognis ed Malcolm's possession of Lothian.
In the west, Malcolm made an alliance with King Owen the Bald of Strath clyde and together they defeated King Canute at the Battle of Carham in 1 018. At the same time, the marriage of his daughter to Sigurd the Stout , Norse Earl of Orkney, extended Malcolm's influence to the far north. H e battled to expand his kingdom, gaining land down to the River Tweed a nd in Strathclyde. When King Owen died without an heir, Malcolm claimed S trathclyde for his grandson, Duncan. This caused dissent throughout the k ingdom of Strathclyde which resulted in Malcolm's murder at Glamis in 1 034. He was buried on the Isle of Iona shortly after.
As the last of the House of Alpin, he did not have any sons to succeed h im. He, therefore, arranged good marriages for his daughters. One daugh ter married Earl Sigurd of Orkney and their son Thorfinn brought the la nds of Caithness and Sutherland under the control of the King of Alba. H is elder daughter, Bethoc, married the Abbot of Dunkeld and their son b ecame Duncan I(c.1010-1040), who succeeded Malcolm upon his death in 10 34.
After Malcolm II's reign, Scottish succession changed to be based on th e principle of direct descent. (Previously, succession was determined b y tanistry - during a king's lifetime an heir was chosen and known as t anaiste rig - 'second to the king'.)
