| Son | Malcolm II Unknown+ (b. about 980, d. 25 November 1034) |
Main Events
| Marriage | Kenneth II Unknown was married.1 |
| Burial | Kenneth II's remains were buried in Iona, Argyllshire, Scotland.1 |
| Residence | He resided Cináed mac MaÃl Coluim (Kenneth II) (before 954–995) was King of Alba. The son of Máel Coluim mac Domnaill (Malcolm I), he succeeded Cuilén mac Iduilb on the latter's death at the hands of Amdarch of Strathclyde in 971. The Chronicle of the Kings of Alba was compiled in Cináed's reign, but many of the place names mentioned are entirely corrupt, if not fictitious. Whatever the reality, the Chronicle states that '[h]e immediately plundered [Strathclyde] in part. Kenneth's infantry were slain with very great slaughter in Moin Uacoruar.' The Chronicle further states that Cináed plundered Northumbria three times, first as far as Stainmore, then to Cluiam and lastly to the River Dee by Chester. These raids may belong to around 980, when the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records attacks on Cheshire. In 973, the Chronicle of Melrose reports that Cináed, with Máel Coluim mac Domnaill, the King of Strathclyde, 'Maccus, king of very many islands' (i.e. the King of Man and the Isles Magnus Haraldsson, called Maccus mac Arailt) and other kings, Welsh and Norse, came to Chester to acknowledge the overlordship of the English king Edgar. It may be that Edgar here regulated the frontier between the southern lands of the kingdom of Alba and the northern lands of his English kingdom. Cumbria was English, the western frontier lay on the Solway. In the east, the frontier lay somewhere in later Lothian, south of Edinburgh. The feud which had persisted since the death of Idulb mac CausantÃn between his descendants and Cináed's family persisted. In 977 the Annals of Ulster report that 'AmlaÃb mac Iduilb, i.e. King of Scotland, was killed by Cináed mac Domnaill.' The Annals of Tigernach give the correct name of AmlaÃb's killer: Cináed mac MaÃl Coluim. Thus, even if only for a short time, Cináed mac MaÃl Coluim had been overthrown by the brother of the previous king. The Chronicle says that Cináed founded a great monastery at Brechin. Cináed was killed in 995, the Annals of Ulster say 'by deceit' and the Annals of Tigernach say 'by his subjects'. Some later sources, such as the Chronicle of Melrose, John of Fordun and Andrew of Wyntoun provide more details, accurately or not. The simplest account is that he was killed by his own men in Fettercairn, through the treachery of Finnguala (or Fimberhele) daughter of Cuncar, Mormaer of Angus, in revenge for the killing of her only son.1 |
