House of Dunkeld, Canmore Dynasty
Family and Early Life
Malcolm Dunkeld, born about 1031, was the eldest son of Duncan I, king of Scots, by his wife, whose name is uncertain and who is thought to have been related to Siward, Earl of Northumbria.[1][2][3][4] He had two younger brothers: Donald III, who succeeded him as king of Scots; and Maelmuire, whose son became the first earl of Athol.[5][6]
Malcolm's father, King Duncan, was murdered by Macbeth 14 August 1040 when Malcolm was about nine years old, and the young boy was immediately smuggled out of Scotland for his own safety.[7] He grew up in the court of Edward the Confessor, king of England,[8] and was granted a small estate in Northamptonshire.[9][10] Fourteen years later Siward, with King Edward's support, led an army into Scotland which inflicted heavy losses on Macbeth and placed Malcolm in possession of all lands in Scotland south of the Tay.[9] On 15 August 1057 (almost seventeen years to the day from his father's death) Malcolm killed Macbeth at Lumphanan.[9] The following March, he ambushed and killed Macbeth's stepson Lulach, who had claimed the throne of Scotland for himself after Macbeth's death.[9]
On 25 April 1058 Malcolm was formally crowned at Scone as Malcolm III, king of Scots.[1][5]
First Marriage and Children
Malcolm married (first) about 1059 Ingibjörg, widow of Thorfin Sigurdsson, earl of Orkney, and daughter of Earl Finn Arnason.[1][2][5] [see research notes] There were three sons from this marriage:
Duncan II, king of Scots; b. c 1060;[2] m. Ethelreda (or Octreda) of Dunbar;[11] d. 12 Nov 1094[12]
Malcolm Dunkeld; witnessed a charter of his brother (Duncan II) in 1094[13][14][15]
Donald Dunkeld; d. (violently) 1085[16][2][17][18]
Ingibjörg died 17 February[19][1] 1068/9.[18]
Second Marriage and Children
Malcolm married (second) at Dunfermline, Fife in 1068/9 Margaret, daughter of Edward the Ætheling, by his wife Agatha.[1][20][21] There were eight children from this marriage:
Edward Dunkeld; d. 15/16 Nov 1093[22][23][24]
Edmund Dunkeld, prince of Cumbria and later a monk[25][2][17]
Æthelred Dunkeld, earl of Fife and abbot of Dunkeld[26][2][27]
Edgar Dunkeld, king of Scots; b. c.1074;[28][29] d. 8 Jan 1106/7 (unmarried)[30][31][32]
Alexander I Dunkeld, king of Scots; b. c.1077;[33][34] m. Sybilla, natural daughter of Henry I, king of England;[33][31][35] d. 23 Apr 1124[33][31][36]
David I Dunkeld, king of Scots; m. 1113 Maud Huntingdon;[37][38] d. 24 May 1153[39][37][40]
Maud (or Matilda) Dunkeld, queen of England; m. 11 Nov 1100 Henry I, king of England;[41][27][2] d. 1 May 1118[27][2]
Mary Dunkeld, countess Boulogne and Lens; m. 1102 Eustace III, count of Boulogne and Lens;[42][27][2] d. 31 May 1116[27][2]
Margaret, Queen of Scots, died at Edinburgh Castle 16 November 1093, three days after her husband was killed at Alnwick, and she was buried before the high altar in the church of the Holy Trinity at Dunfermline, Fife.[43][44][1][2]
King of Scots
Malcolm's reign was characterized by his relentless effort to expand Scotland's borders into English Northumbria.[45] Beginning in 1061 he made a total of five (major) raids into Northumbria.[9] These military engagements were conducted in a particularly vicious manner, laying waste to the countryside, burning entire villages, and often carrying away thousands of captives who either died during the hardship of an enforced march to Scotland or, surviving, spent the rest of their lives as English slaves.[46] In 1072, William the Conqueror in retaliation invaded Scotland with a large army and forced Malcolm's submission at Abernethy.[46][47] Under the terms of the treaty signed there Malcolm promised to no longer harbor any of the king's enemies, to recognize King William as his overlord, and to give up his eldest son Duncan as a hostage.[47] King Malcolm, however, was an opportunist who rarely lost an opportunity to attack whenever the English king was abroad, but who refused to fight and became subservient whenever his kingdom was invaded.[48] In 1079 he once again attacked Northumbria, regardless of the fact that his son Duncan was still a hostage in England.[48]
In matters of religion and the church he deferred completely to his Saxon queen, Margaret, trusting her judgment implicitly.[49] He did not himself know how to read, although he spoke three languages (Gaelic, English, and Latin) and served as the queen's interpreter whenever she would summon the clergy to a council.[49] Margaret's influence over Malcolm is also seen in the names which were given to their sons: Edward, the eldest (after her father); Edgar (after her brother); Edmund (after her grandfather); Ethelred (after her great-grandfather); Alexander (after the pope); and David (after a Welsh saint).[50] Although in the long term, Malcolm's marriage to Margaret helped to cement the relationship between Scotland and England (when their eldest daughter Maud married King William's son Henry), in the short term it created a great deal of tension because William suspected Malcolm of planning to eventually place one of his own sons on the English throne.[51]
Death
In 1092, King William II (Rufus) seized Carlisle and built a castle there, which understandably enraged King Malcolm.[52] The two kings agreed to meet at Gloucester to discuss the matter but when Malcolm arrived, Rufus refused to see him.[52] Malcolm vowed to return north immediately and muster his army for yet another raid on Northumbria.[52] On their way home, however, his party was attacked 13 November 1093 on a hill north of Alynwick by a group of men led by Robert de Mowbray, earl of Northumbria.[53] Robert's nephew, Arkil Morel of Bamborough, who was King Malcolm's "god-sib" (i.e. they had stood as god-fathers together, which was considered a very sacred bond whose violation was a 'heinous' sin) is said to have struck the fatal blows that killed both King Malcolm and his eldest son, Edward.[53][54] King Malcolm died (probably ) immediately,[55] Edward was fatally wounded and died several days later at Edwardsisle, in the forrest near Jedburgh.[17]
King Malcolm's body was recovered and given a hasty burial at Tynemouth, but was later moved by his son, King Alexander I, to the church of the Holy Trinity at Dunfermline to be buried near his queen, Margaret.[1][54] During the Reformation, the remains of both Malcolm and Margaret were transferred by Philip II of Spain to the Escorial at Madrid.[9][56]
Research Notes
*Ceann Mór
There are various theories as to how Malcolm earned the nickname "Big Head." He was said to be physically strong and a very large man, a ruthless fighter who led his army in at least five major invasions of English Northumbria.[9] One theory is that his size and aggressive nature gave the impression that he was "a swaggering bully"and that was how he earned the appellation "Big Head."[57] The same nickname, however, was also given to his great-grandson, Malcolm IV, in the twelfth century, and many contemporary historians now believe that Malcolm IV suffered from Paget's disease, causing his head to appear overly large.[9] It is entirely possible that Malcolm III suffered from the same disease. Refuting both these ideas, however, both Prof. G.W.S. Barrow and Charles Cawley assert that Malcolm III was not referred to as Canmore at any time before the thirteenth century....contemporary historical accounts refer only to his florid complexion and long neck,[9][56] so it appears that the nickname was given to him by later chroniclers and was not one that was used during his lifetime.
Ingibjörg
There is much uncertainty about the nature of Malcolm's relationship with Ingibjörg, stemming from the fact that it is only mentioned in the Orkneyinga Saga and not in a single Scottish or English source. This is highly unusual, and has led some historians to speculate that Ingibjörg may have been a concubine rather than a wife. The dates of her first husband's probable death and the birthdates of the sons she had with Malcolm are also difficult to reconcile and have led to questions about their eldest son's legitimacy. Charles Cawley discusses these discrepancies in more detail here.

Thomas son of Otto[1]
Thomas son of Otto was born in 1231 as he was aged 30 in 1261.[2]
Thomas was the son of Otto or Ottho,[1] who was the son of William.[3]

Maud, aged 11 in 1282;[4] and
Beatrice, aged 8 in 1282;[4]
His father, Otto, died on or before 6 June 41 Henry III [1257], as on that day a Writ regarding Otto alias Ottho son of William was sent to the sheriff of Essex, after which an Inquisition found he held property in Essex: in Belchamp of the king in chief of the honour of Boulogne, and Gestingthorp and Gosfeud held of the earl of Gloucester.[3]
Thomas' brother, William, died before 24 June 1261, and an Inquisition, taken In Essex, found Thomas was his heir to 1 knight's fee in Belchamp Otten, held of the honour of Boulogne of the king, and other property in Gosfeud and Gestlingethorp, held of the earl of Gloucester and of the heir of Ralph de Hodeng'.[2]
On 23 March in 2 Edward I, a Writ regarding Thomas son of Otto instigated Inquisitions in:

Buckingham, where Thomas had held of the inheritance of Beatrice his wife, rents in Lincelade;[1] and
Worcester, where Thomas had held of the inheritance of Beatrice his wife, the manor of Sceldesleye Beucamp;[1]
On 23 March in 2 Edward I, a Writ regarding Thomas son of Otto instigated Inquisitions in:
Essex, where in the hundred of Hengford he held the manor and advowson of the church of Belchamp, of the king in chief of the honour of Boulogne, and the manor and advowson of the church of Gestingthorp and a tenement at Gosfeud of the earl of Gloucester;[1]
Huntingdon, where he held the manor of Hamerton;[1]
Gloucester, where he held property in Wodemonecote.[1]
Extents were taken in response to a writ dated 28 June 10 Edward I [1282], in Essex and Huntingdon, and the juries found that Thomas' next heirs were his three daughters, Joan aged 14, Maud aged 11, and Beatrice, aged 8.[4]

Baldwin IV "the Bearded" (Baudouin IV le Barbu, Balduinus Barbatus)
Marquis of Flanders, 987×8-1035.
Baldwin IV was still a minor when he succeeded his father Arnulf II as count in 987 or 988. In 1006, Baldwin invaded and took Valenciennes, but was driven out in 1007 by the emperor Heinrich II [see, e.g., Thietmar, Chronicon, vi, 22, MGH SS 3: 813-4; Annales Quedlinburgenses, s.a. 1006-7, MGH SS 3: 79; Ann. Bland., s.a. 1007, Grierson (1937), 23; Franz (1940), 238], but not long afterward, Baldwin received Valenciennes as fief from the emperor. Baldwin IV was temporarily driven out of Flanders during a rebellion by his son Baldwin (later Baldwin V), but they were reconciled through the influence of duke Robert of Normandy [GND vi, 6 (vol. 2, pp. 52-5)]. Peace was restored at Audenarde in 1030 ["Comes Balduinus, qui dictus est Barbatus, congregatis marchisiae suae sanctorum corporibus, Bavonis, Wandregisili, Amandi, Vedasti, Bertini, Winnoci, cum aliis innumerabilis sanctorum reliquiis, presente Hugone Noviomensi episcopo cum aliis pluribus episcopis et abbatibus, congregatis totius regni sui primatibus apud Aldenardum, pacem ab omni populo coniuratum firmari fecit." Interpolation to the chronicle of Sigebert of Gembloux, s.a. 1030, Sigeb. auctarium Affligemense, MGH SS 6: 399]. His son Baldwin V succeeded in 1035. Baldwin IV's most common epithet is Barbatus (the Bearded) [Genealogia comitum Flandriae Bertiniana, MGH SS 9: 305], but he is also called Pulchra barba [Flandria generosa, MGH SS 9: 318] or Magnus ["... a Balduino comite, qui ob magnitudinem virium suarum Magnus vel ad distantiam antessorum suorum equivocorum ob proceritatem barbae Barbatus dictus est, ..." Simonis gesta abbatum S. Bertini Sithiensum i, 1, MGH SS 13: 636].
Date of Birth: Say 980×5.
Given that his father was probably not born before 960, this would be a reasonable estimate.
Place of Birth: Unknown.
Date of Death: 29 or 30 May 1035.
["Obiit Balduinus, gloriosus marchisus" Ann. Bland., s.a. 1035, 25 (& Ann. Formos., 126, incorrectly in 1034); "Obiit comes Balduinus Barbatus, gloriosus marchysus; in Blandinio sepultus est, et filius eius Baldwinus regnare cepit." Annales Elmarenses, s.a. 1035, 90; "Obiit Balduinus comes, filius Susannæ." Annales Elnonenses, s.a. 1035, 154] The necrology of St. Michael's, Lüneburg, gives 29 May as the date of death [Althoff (1984), 399 (G 55)]. His supposed epitaph gives 30 May, and reads as follows: "I. Hoc tumulo tegitur Balduinus; maxima magni / Arnulphi proles hoc tumulo tegitur. / Quem Susanna sibi genuit regina superbum, / Edidit et puberem quem Susanna sibi. / Maximus heroum regali schemate prodit, / Vir virtute potens, maximus heroum. / Defensor fuerat, vel amator hic monachorum, / Ecclesiaeque Dei defensor fuerat. / Decessit medius trinas Junii ante kalendas: / He! he! cito nimium decessit medius. / Dicito praeteriens: Jesu miserere miselli, / Daque pius veniam, dicito praeteriens. / II. Junius ante suas triduo cecidisse kalendas / Balduinum deflet, quo patre mundus eget: / Ipse fuit princeps Flandrorum sive monarcha, / Inclytus et fortis, regibus ortus avis. / Fama praeclarus, nulli pietate secundus, / Cujus opum nullus aut modus aut numerus. / Nutrivit acies, inimicos terruit orbis, / Praevaluit gladio, nec minus ingenio. / Cultor justitiae, corrector legis iniquae, / Defensor patriae, filius ecclesiae. / Saevus et immanis raptoribus atque superbis, / Sed pius ac mitis multibus atque piis. / Pulchre barbatus, oculis vagus, ore venustus, / Pollens ingenio, blandus et eloquio. / Plorantes igitur nos te, bone Christe, precamur, / Defuncto famulo propitiare tuo." [Adrien de Budt, Chronicon Flandriae, Corpus Chron. Fland. 1: 274-5]
Place of Death: Unknown.
Father: Arnulf II, d. March 988, count of Flanders, 965-988.
Mother: Rozala alias Susanna, d. 13 December 1003, daughter of Berengar II, king of Italy.
["Arnulfus, filius eius ex priori marito Balduino, duxit filiam Berengeri regis Langobardorum, Ruzelam quae et Susanna, ex qua suscepit Balduinum Barbatum." Genealogia comitum Flandriae Bertiniana, MGH SS 9: 306; "Post immaturum Arnulfi iunioris marchionis mortem, cuius avus Magnus exstitit Arnulfus, Balduinus, filius eius, cum matre Rozala derelictus est parvulus. Hic enim est qui postea Prolixae-barbae dictus est Balduinus, cuius mater Rozala filia fuit Berengarii regis Italiae, quae post mortem Arnulfi principis Roberto regi Francorum nupsit, et Susanna dicta mutato nomine, regina regnavit." Ex vita Bertulfi Renticensis, c. 33, MGH SS 15, part 2: 638].
Spouses:
(1) m. Otgiva of Luxemburg, d. 21 February 1030.
["Obiit Odgiva comitissa." Ann. Bland., s.a. 1030, 25; similarly in Ann. Elmarenses, s.a. 1030, 90, Ann. Formos., s.a. 1031, 126]. Her claimed epitaph, which gives a death date of 21 February (9. kal. Mar.), reads as follows: "Preteriens miserere mei, qui vis misereri, / Atque mihi requiem tu deposce piam. / Nona dies Martis me sustulit ante kalendas, / Odgiva iuncta fui Balduino domino." [MGH Poetae Latini 5: 300]. The necrology of St. Michael, Lüneburg, has an entry "Gera com" under 21 February, which Althoff would interpret as "Geva com", and would identify her with Otgiva, noting that her husband Baldwin IV also appears in the necrology [Althoff (1984), 391 (G 17), 399 (G 55)]. See Otgiva's page for a detailed discussion of her parentage.
(2) m. NN, daughter of Richard II, duke of Normandy.
