  i.   Duncan II Of Scotland, died Unknown.
  55050320 ii.   Cean-Mor Malcolm III Of Scotland, born Abt. 1033 in Atholl, Perthshire, Scotland; died November 13, 1093 in Alnwick, Northumberland, England; married (1) Ingibjorg Of Orkney in Orkney, Orkney Islands, Scotland; married (2) Margaret Of Atheling in Scotland.
  iii.   Ceannmor Donald III (Donald Bane) Of Scotland, born 1033; died Aft. 1097.
  Notes for Ceannmor Donald III (Donald Bane) Of Scotland:
Donald Bane held the Scottish throne twice, from 13 Nov 1093- May 1094, when he was deposed by his nephew, Duncan II, son of Malcolm III, and again from 12 Nov 1094, after Duncan II was slain at Mondynes, 12 Nov 1094, until Bane was defeated through the efforts of Edgar Atheling in 1097. Donald Bane was expelled from Scotland, and the throne was assumed by Edgar, another son of King Malcolm III. Donald Bane's granddaughter and heiress, Hextilda, married Richard Comyn, and their descendant, John Comyn, known as the "Black Comyn," was one of the competitors for the Scottish Crown in 1291.

Macbeth was born circa 1005 and died (killed in battle) on August 15, 1057. Macbeth was actually a competent monarch who suffered badly at the hands of William Shakespeare. Although he had a sound claim to the throne of Scotland he had to deal with many who would take his place, including Crinan and Duncan's sons Malcolm and Donald Bane.

Donald Bane, also spelled Donaldbane, or Donalbane, Bane also spelled Ban or Bain was born circa 1033 and died sometime shortly after 1097. He was king of Scotland from November 1093 to May 1094 and from November 1094 to October 1097.

Upon the death of his brother Malcolm III Cænmore in 1093 there was a fierce contest for the crown. Donald Bane besieged Edinburgh Castle, took it, and, with the support of the Celtic Scots and the custom of tanistry (the Celtic system of electing kings or chiefs; whereby the successor of a king was elected during his lifetime from the eldest and worthiest of his kin, often a brother or cousin in preference to a descendant), he was king nominally for at least six months. He was expelled by Duncan II, son of Malcolm, assisted by English and Normans and some Saxons. Duncan’s reign was equally short, for Donald Bane had his nephew slain and again reigned for three years.

These years saw the last attempt of the Celts to maintain a king of their race and a kingdom governed according to their customs. Edgar the Aetheling, who had newly befriended William Rufus, the Norman King of England, led an army into Scotland, dispossessed Donald Bane, and advanced his nephew Edgar, son of Malcolm III, as sole king of the Scots.

It is fitting that Donald Bane was interred, as was Macbeth, at the Isle of Iona, with the ancient Celtic Kings of Dalriada, Alba and Scotland around him. He was the last Scottish King to be buried there.
