Macbeth
Macbeth
King of Scotland from 1040. The son of Findlaech, hereditary ruler of Moray and Ross, he was commander of the forces of Duncan I, King of Scotland, whom he killed in battle in 1040. His reign was prosperous until Duncan's son Malcolm III led an invasion and killed him at Lumphanan in Aberdeenshire.
He was probably the grandson of Kenneth II and married Gruoch, the granddaughter of Kenneth III.
