Dub of Scotland

Dub (c. 928–967), son of Malcolm I, became king of Alba in 962 after Indulf's death; his Gaelic name meant ‘the Black’. He spent his reign fighting Indulf's son Cuilén, defeating him at the ridge of Crup, yet was later driven from the kingdom.

He was killed by the Scots themselves in 967; later legend said he was murdered at Forres and his body hidden under Kinloss bridge. His son Kenneth III later reigned.
