Maol Chalvim II

Maol Chalvim II

Maol Chalvim II - Kenneth II’s son, and later on King of Scotland from 1005 to 1034.

History

He was much more aware of Constantine’s true nature than was his father. After Kenneth’s murder, Maol Chalvim was forced to flee the court to stay out of Constantine’s reach. In 997, he and his cousin Kenneth overthrew Constantine, and Kenneth became king as Kenneth III. Eight years later, in 1005, Maol Chalvim overthrew him in turn to become King of Scotland as Maol Chalvim II. He had three daughters, who each married a powerful lord; two of these daughters were the mothers of Macbeth and Duncan, by which they both had claims to the Scottish throne.

{Maol Chalvim II, also known as Malcolm II, was a real Scottish king, and a strong one. He was particularly noted for extending the boundaries of Scotland southwards and consolidating his rule over it. His history went pretty much the same way as that of his "Gargoyles" counterpart.}
