Malcolm was the son of Duncan I, king of the Scots and spent most of his youth in exile at the court of Edward the Confessor after Duncan was killed by Macbeth in 1040. Several attempts were made to put Malcolm on the Scottish throne but it was not until 1057 that Malcolm killed Macbeth at Lumphanan in Aberdeenshire and then killed Macbeth's stepson Lulach some months later to become King of the Scots. Malcolm reigned from 1058 until 1093 and was known as Malcolm Canmore meaning 'large head', 'bighead' or 'big chief'. In 1068 Edgar the Aetheling arrived at Malcolm's court along with his sister Margaret. Edgar had rebelled against William the Conqueror and had been forced to find safety. Malcolm was happy to assist Edgar and other Lords in their attempts to take land back from the Normans. Malcolm married Edgar's sister Margaret who had deep religious beliefs and who influenced him greatly. In 1093, While supporting Edgar in the north of England, Malcolm and his son Edward were killed near Alnwick. Malcolm was succeeded by his brother Donald.
