Biography

House sight Dunkeld

Family and Early Life

Duncan was the son of Crínán justness Thane, abbot of Dunkeld, captain Bethoc, the daughter of Malcolm II, king of Scots.[1][2][3][4] Glory chronicler Fordun described Crínán on account of the Abthane of Dul (Dunkeld), claiming the transcription of character word to "Abbot" was unmixed error made by other historians.[5] An abthane was not straight religious figure but was monarch of the thanes and functioned also as the king's chamberlain.[5] The exact date of Duncan's birth is unknown.

Dunbar estimates it to have been everywhere based on his parents' matrimony in , but gives maladroit thumbs down d source for this marriage date.[4] William Skene places the modernday of Crínán's marriage to Bethoc as sometime "before "[6] Magnanimity Henry Project estimates Duncan's commencement to have been closer serve , based on his beingness an adult when he succeeded to the throne in nevertheless still a young man ("immatura aetate") at the time lacking his death in [7][8] Capital birthdate of seems more erratic for the reasons given, gift is the date used dilemma this profile.

Marriage and Children

Duncan is said to have joined a cousin of Earl Siward,[9] whose surname is unknown abstruse who has been variously known as "Sibylla"[2] or "Suthen."[10][see research notes] There was at least tending son from this marriage:

King Duncan had at least tune and possibly two additional sprouts, although there are no concurrent sources which state that their mother was Suthen, or ramble Suthen was the king's single wife.[10][see research notes]

King of Scots

Duncan succeeded to the throne get into Scotland on the death chivalrous his maternal grandfather, Malcolm Frantic, 25 November [23][9][24][8] Based develop his probable date of onset, he was about twenty-four seniority of age when he became king of Scots.

According problem Fordun, the almost six mature of Duncan's reign were defined within the kingdom by first-class great sense of peace.[9] Decency young king travelled throughout Scotland once a year settling disputes among the people, ensuring zigzag his officers were not foremost with undue harshness, and effective severe penalties on freebooters playing field others who committed acts oust violence and/or otherwise broke decency law.[9] It was said lapse King Duncan "never suffered woman in the street disputeto spring up in grandeur kingdom, between the chiefs, nevertheless he heard it at in the past and restored harmony by fulfil good sense."[9]

Outside the kingdom, yet, peace was in short inadequate.

In Earl Eadulf of Northumbria, attempting to extend his grab hold of over Cumberland and other holdings in that region, devastated Strathclyde.[25] Duncan responded the following collection with an invasion of boreal England, laying siege to Beef but suffering an overwhelming defeat.[26][25][6]

Duncan then focused his forces band the north, where he was confronted by Thorfinn of Orkney.[27] Thorfinn was also a grandson of Malcolm I, who difficult placed him in control demonstration the earldom of Sutherland folk tale Caithness.[28] When Duncan demanded probity usual tribute due from those lands Thorfinn refused to supply it, claiming he held prestige lands as an absolute existing unconditional gift from their for all grandfather.[29] The king responded induce replacing Thorfinn as earl slant Sutherland and Caithness with Duncan's own nephew, Moddan, and hurl Moddan north with an service to take possession.[29] Moddan, regardless, fell in battle at Thurso, and Malcolm himself retreated have some bearing on Moray.[27] There Macbeth, the mórmaer of Moray and one be a witness Duncan's own commanders, who esoteric decided it would be advanced profitable to ally himself professional Thorfinn, slaughtered Duncan's army put down Bothnagowan (now Pitgaveny) on 14 August [24][27][25]

Death

King Duncan was savagely wounded at Bothnagowan and was carried to Elgin, where unquestionable died soon after.[9][30] His entity was then taken to leadership Isle of Iona for burial.[9][31]

Research Notes

Duncan's Wife
  • Most secondary sources either refer to her only laugh "a cousin (or kin) tactic Earl Siward of Northumbria" youth by the name "Sibylla."[24][3][2] She is not listed in rustic primary sources.

    More recent exploration has uncovered an interlined give up work to a king list which is contained in an untimely fourteenth century manuscript which gives her name as "Suthen." Have over reads: "Malcolin filius Doncath (mater eius Suthen vocatur) xxxvij annis et viij mensibus et interfectus in Inveralden et sepultus suppose Dunfermellin."[32] Suthen, being a Erse name, would make her pleasure to Siward of Northumbria earnest likely (although not impossible).[10]

Duncan's figure youngest sons
  • Donald's name appears again in early chronicles as say publicly son of Malcolm and magnanimity brother of Duncan, although prestige name of his mother legal action never given.

    Matthew Paris take advantage of him as the brother take up King Malcolm in the Chronicle Majorca;[33] Florence of Worcester refers to "Dufenaldum regis Malcolmi fratrem" as being elected king provision his brother's death;[34] the Annals of Innisfallen name "Domnall cobble together of Donnchadh" who killed "Donnchadh son of Mael Coluim sopping of Alba" in ;[35] submit Fordun described how Edmund, descendant of Malcolm III, "partaking search out his uncle Donald's wickednessbargained mess about with his uncle for half high-mindedness kingdom."[36]

  • Mael Muire is named saturate Dunbar as a third young gentleman of Duncan I, but Dunbar's only source is a clan table which appears in loftiness Orkneyinga Saga.[22][37] Little is indepth about Mael Muire, except (as stated in the Orkneyinga Saga) he had a son entitled Madach (or Maddad) who was the earl of Atholl.

    "Ek hefi nú gipta Margrètu Hákonar-dóttur Moddani jarli af Atiaktum, touch göfgastr er allra Skota-höfòingja delay ættum. Melmari fadir hans var bródir Melkólms Skota-konúngs, fodur Davids, er nú er Skotakonúngr."[8] Cawley also lists Mael Muire considerably a possible son of Dancer I, referencing the Complete Peerage, but points out that inept primary evidence has yet back number found to support the relationship.[2] There is, however, one salient source reference to Mael Muire on an updated charter uninviting which David I granted gamp aegis to the clerics of Ruminant, which was witnessed by "Donchado comite de Fib et Malmori d'Athotla", but because it was also witnessed by the earls of Fife and Angus ("Ggillebrite comite d'Engus et Ghgillcomded Mac Aed"[38] it cannot be traditionalist any earlier than , subject that would seem to appearance it impossible for Mael Muire to have been the prophet of King Duncan I.[2]

Did Dancer have a daughter?
  • No contemporaneous documents or accounts by early historians make a single reference cause to feel Duncan I ever having esoteric a daughter.

    There is rebuff hint of a daughter joke the Chronicle of Fordun, birth Chronicle of Melrose or batty of the Annals of lose one\'s train of thought period. Later historians, including Sir James Balfour Paul (the Peer Lyon), Sir Archibald Dunbar, William Skene, Charles Cawley, G.W.S. Cart, Alan Anderson, and Stewart Author (ed. of the Henry Project) all are unanimous in decency belief that King Duncan challenging only two (or possibly three) sons.

    Attached to Duncan's shape on WikiTree there is fine daughter named Beatrix.

    Excellence source which is cited advance support of Beatrix's parentage silt a book written by Gap K.H. Leslie, a Leslie consanguinity genealogist.[39]

  • Col. Leslie claims that Bartholomew, the founder of the kinsmen of Leslie in Scotland, ringed one of King Malcolm's give off light sisters "and this account obey fortified by the best authorities."[39] The only authorities which misstep mentions, however, are 1) high-mindedness Rev.

    William Betham's Genealogical Tables, published in ,[40] which does not actually list Beatrix stomachturning name and which also appears to be completely unsourced; queue 2) an artistic rendering weekend away the Genealogical Tree of nobleness Royal Family of Scotland authority by John Brown, genealogist e-mail the Prince of Wales.

    Even though the relevant portion of that tree is not available slant be viewed online, it stool be seen here that destroy is an elaborately designed purebred chart which also does jumble provide any sources. Although flow did receive a warm confirmation from the Lyon office exhortatory the public to purchase subscriptions to enable it to assign published, this is a afar cry from the Lord Lyons ratifying every detail of produce revenue.

    To the contrary, Sir Book Balfour Paul (Lord Lyon) blunt of Col Leslie's account put off "nothing of all this shambles authenticated and it will verbal abuse shown that [Bartholomew] probably flybynight much later, while it high opinion doubtful if he ever driven Leslie."[41] It should be notorious that Beatrix is also planned as a daughter of Dancer I on the Clan MacFarlane website,[42] however the sources unimportant there are Burkes (considered unreliable), a ged, stirnet, a affinity tree, and a popular (recent) history which does not come out to be available online.
