 Born /

dmund was the son of Malcolm III, King of Scotland by his second wife Margaret (daughter of Edgar the Exile). He is supposed to have shared the rule of Scotland with his uncle Donald III. This came about after a rebelion against Donald by Edmund and half-brother Duncan. When Donald succeeded to the throne after the death of Malcolm III, Duncan, Edmund and his other brothers had escaped to the court of the English King William Rufus. With help from the Norman barons, Duncan and Edmund retook the Scottish throne in May of 1094 and Duncan became King. But his reign was short-lived and Donald retook the Scottish throne in November of the same year when Duncan was killed. After this event Edmund sided with King Donald and, as Donald had no children, was nominated as the heir to the Scottish throne. In 1097 Edgar the Aetheling, Margaret's brother, invaded Scotland and placed his nephew Edgar, the younger brother of Edmund, on the Scottish throne. Although details are few, Edmund is thought to have become a monk at Montucute Abbey were it is believed that he died.

Timeline

1094
May
Duncan II becomes King of the Scots

Assisted by Norman knights and his half-brother Edmund, Duncan invaded Scotland to unseat his uncle Donald from the Scottish throne. The invasion succeeded and he became king in May. His reign only lasted until November when he was killed in battle and Donald retook the Scottish throne. Edmund sided with Donald at this time and was named as heir to the throne as the King had no children. It is possible that Edmund shared the rule of Scotland with Donald from 1094.
