Narrative

Macbeth succeeded Duncan I, who he killed in battle at Pitgaveny, near Elgin. Macbeth himself had no rightful claim to the throne, but his wife, Gruoch, is a granddaughter of Kenneth II, who was murdered by Malcolm II, Duncan's grandfather. This killing re-opened the bloody feud that ravaged the mac Alpin dynasty 40 years previously. Duncan is thought to have provoked Macbeth by interfering in the affairs of Moray. Killed in a skirmish with his rival, Malcolm was succeeded by Lulach, son of his wife by her first marriage.
