Duncan I     Born: 15 Aug 1001, SCOTLAND Died: 01 Aug 1040, (Age 38) Elgin, Moray, SCOTLAND                        Father:  Crinan or Cronan, Lay-Abbot of Dunkeld Mother:  Bethóc Spouse:  Suthen Reign: 1034 - 1040 Predecessor: Malcoln II Máel Coluim mac Cináeda) Successor: MacBeth (Mac Bethad mac Findláich) Royal House: House of Dunkeld   Duncan I [Donnchad mac Crínáin] was born 15 Aug 1001 in Scotland and nicknamed An t-Ilgarach, "the Diseased" or "the Sick".  He was son of Crinan, Lay-Abbot of Dunkeld, and Bethoc, daughter of king Malcolm II of Scotland [Máel Coluim mac Cináeda].   Unlike the "King Duncan" of Shakespeare's Macbeth, the historical Duncan appears to have been a young man. He followed his grandfather Malcolm as king after his death on 25 November 1034, without apparent opposition. He may have been Malcolm's acknowledged successor as the succession appears to have been uneventful.   There are claims that Duncan married the sister, daughter or cousin of Sigurd the Dane, Earl of Northumbria, but this appears to be unreliable. An earlier source, a variant of the Chronicle of the Kings of Alba (CK-I), gives Duncan's wife the Gaelic name Suthen. Whatever his wife's name may have been, Duncan had at least two sons. The eldest, Malcolm III (Máel Coluim mac Donnchada) was king from 1057 to 1093, and the second Donald III (Domnall Bán, or "Donalbane") was king afterwards. Máel Muire, Earl of Atholl is a possible third son of Duncan, although this is uncertain. The early period of Duncan's reign was apparently uneventful, perhaps a consequence of his youth. Macbeth (Mac Bethad mac Findláich) is recorded as his dux, literally Duke, but there are strong suggestions that Macbeth was the power behind the throne.   In 1039, Duncan led a large Scots army south to besiege Durham, but the expedition ended in disaster. Duncan survived, but the following year he led an army north into Moray, traditionally seen as Macbeth's domain. There he was killed, at Pitgaveny near Elgin, by his own men led by Macbeth, probably on 14 August 1040.   In William Shakespeare's Macbeth, Duncan is depicted as an elderly King but it appears that he was still quite young in 1040 - only 38.  He is killed in his sleep by the protagonist, Macbeth.     Children of King Malcolm III and Saint Margaret of Scotland Name Birth Date Death Date Spouse Malcolm III King of Scotland 25 April 1058 13 November 1093 (1) Ingebjorg Finnsdotter (2) Margaret of Wessex Donald III "Donalbane" King of Scotland Before 1040 1099             SOURCES:   King Duncan I, King Edward I, King Henry III, King John, Malcolm III http://en.wikipedia.org   Charlemagne's Descendants to George Washington http://www.kareldegrote.nl/charlemagne/George_Washington.htm   Margaret Butler & Sir Lawrence Washington to King Edward I of England http://www.thepeerage.com/p17991.htm#i179904   ROYAL DESCENT The Lanier Family Connection to the Washington Family The Connection to King Edward I of England http://jimserver.net/genealogy/royal_desc.html   The Ancestry of George Washington Sons of Liberty Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution http://www.revolutionarywararchives.org/washancestry.html   Polish History, Heraldry and Genealogy The Lineage of George Washington http://www.angelfire.com/mi4/polcrt/lineageGW.html   Sampson LANIER & Elizabeth WASHINGTON http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~asbellm/genealogy/fam01284.htm         If you have photos or additional information, please contact me.
