Notes - Kenneth III of Scotland was King of Scotland from 997 to 1005. He was the son of King Dubh, fourth cousin of the previous king Constantine III, and first cousin of his successor Malcolm II.
Kenneth was the last king of Scotland to succeed to the throne through the system of tanistry, whereby the succession was shared between two family lines and the dying king named the person from the other family line who was to succeed him. The system was much discredited as it ensured that the two royal families of Scotland were in a constant state of war with each other.
Kenneth and his son Giric were both killed in the battle of Monzievaird, Tayside on March 25, 1005. It was his first cousin Malcolm, succeeding him at the battle, who abolished the tanistry system by killing all of Kenneth's male descendants.
However, Kenneth had a granddaughter, Gruoch, via his son Bodhe. Gruoch's first husband was Gillacomgain, Mormaor of Moray. They had a son called Lulach. She then married King Macbeth of Scotland (becoming Lady Macbeth). On the death of Macbeth, her son via her first marriage (Kenneth III's great-grandson), succeeded to the throne, becoming King Lulach of Scotland.
