Scotland from about 842 to 1286 The period (1040 to 1107) saw the kingdom of Scotland take on its recognisable medieval shape born geographically and constitutionally. The rivalry between the Moray line of the royal house (represented by Macbeth (1040-57) and his step-son Lulach (105758» and the direct descendants of Kenneth MacAlpin (represented by Malcolm 11' s grandson Duncan I. (1034-40) and his sons Malcolm III Canmore (1058-93) and Donald Ban (1093. 1094-97) was marked by old-fashioned slayings of Duncan I al Pitgaveny. of Macbeth at Lumphanan and of Lulach al Essie. The anti-foreign reaction which followed Malcolm Ill's death in 1093 entailed the killing of Duncan 11 at Mondynes in the interests of Donald Ban who in turn was fatally wounded at Rescobie. The way was clear for Edgar (1097-1 107) to exploit the territorial advantages built up under the two Malcolms and rule effectively from the northern Highlands to the Tweed. But in the 1090s the king of Scots lost English Cumbria to William Rufus and the Western Isles to Magnus Barelegs king of Norway. / o ~slern Isles \j~Udreyrar) M o R A (to Norway) ( y ~ f) C?Transcribers who have contributed to this page.
