Malcolm III of Scotland

Malcolm III, called Canmore or Great Chief (1031–1093), was the eldest son of Duncan I and ruled Scotland for thirty-five years. Exiled as a child after Macbeth killed his father in 1040, he slew Macbeth at Lumphanan in 1057 and killed his successor Lulach the next year to seize the crown.

In 1070 he married Margaret of Wessex, later Saint Margaret, mother of several future kings. After repeated raids into northern England, he was killed at the First Battle of Alnwick in 1093.
