MALCOLM II (r. 1005-34)
Malcolm, son of Kenneth II, took advantage of the fact that the English were preoccupied wit h Danish raids and marched south, winning the Battle of Carham against the Angles in 1018 and thereby regaining Lothian. Thirteen years later, however, King Canute invaded Scotland, probably because Malcolm had been making alliances with the Danes, and forced the Scottish king to submit to him (submission was a traditional expression of personal homage). However, Canute seems to have recognised Malcolm's possession of Lothian. In the west, Malcolm had the alliance of Strathclyde, whilst the marriage of his daughter to Sigurd the Stout, Norse Earl of Orkney, extended Malcolm's influence to the far north. Malcolm died at Glamis, Angus on 25 November 1034, aged at least 80.

After Malcolm II's reign, Scottish succession was based on the principle of direct descent. ( Previously, succession was determined by tanistry - during a king's lifetime an heir was chosen and known as tanaiste rig - 'second to the king'.

When Malcolm II died in 1034 the succession was disputed. Duncan I, son of MalcolmâÇôs daughter , Bethoc, was the first King of the House of Atholl, but he was later slain by his cousin, Macbeth who seized the throne.

This story is better known to the world than you would expect because of William ShakespeareâÇô s dramatic play. Last weekâÇôs story told of the similarities and differences between "the Scottish Play" and how Macbeth died at the hands of Malcolm Canmore who went on to rule for a turbulent thirty-five years.
