"Duncan collected as large an army as possible, and having
entered Moray again, met Thorfinn in battle at Torfness, or
Broghead, where, the second time, he was completely defeated and
his forces routed. Earl Thorfinn then overran and subdued the
country as far south as Fife.9 Soon after, Duncan was slain by
Macbeth, the Morronor of Moray, whose father, Finley, had
regained the mormaorship after the death of Earl Sigurd. Macbeth
at the time may have been operating as an ally of Thorfinn10;
or, according to some accounts, endeavoring to make good his own
wife's claim to the Scottish throne--a claim which seems to have
been at least of equal merit with that of Duncan himself."
MacBeth was the ruler of the southern districts and Thorfin was
ruler of the Northern Districts.. MacBeth slew Duncan I, father
of Malcom III and Malcolm III Slew Macbeth 1057. King of
Strathclyde.
Malcolm disposed of Macbeth's stepson, Lulach (1058) and became
ruler.
"After Duncan's death, Macbeth succeeded to his crown; yet the
power of Earl Thorfinn at this time was nearly as great as his
own. Thorfinn possessed the nine earldoms of Sutherland, Ross,
Moray, "Dali," Buchan, Mar, Mearns, Angus, and Galloway11; and
without his assistance the Mormaor of Moray could hardly have
succeeded in establishing himself upon the Scottish throne.
It is probable, therefore, that Macbeth's reign marked the
highest point ever reached by Norse influence in Scotland. As
that [p.240]influence has a considerable interest in connection
with the genesis and development of the people of Galloway, and
one that has not until recently been clearly recognized, it may
at this period properly be considered."
Macbeth, the Morronor of Moray, whose father, Finley, had
regained the mormaorship after the death of Earl Sigurd.
"Macbeth reigned for about seventeen years, and the contemporary
records of the period all seem to indicate that his rule was one
of considerable benefit to the kingdom. In 1045 an attempt was
made by Crinan, the father of Duncan, to dethrone Macbeth; but
it proved abortive, resulting in the death of Crinan5 and, in
consequence, the more secure possession of the crown by Macbeth.
In 1050 the latter made a pilgrimage to Rome.
In 1054, Siward, the Danish earl of Northumbria, a close
connection of the family of Duncan, led an army into Scotland
against Macbeth, in the interests of Duncan's son, Malcolm, and
perhaps at the instance of Edward, King of England. Although not
then successful in recovering the central kingdom, Siward
succeeded in confirming Malcolm as ruler of all that portion of
Scotland south of the Clyde and Forth.
Siward died in 1055, however, and Malcolm was not able to push
his cause further until 1057. In [p.266]that year he formed an
alliance with Tostig, who was the son of Earl Godwin and
successor to Siward as ruler of Northumberland. Then taking
advantage of the death of Thorfinn, Macbeth's most powerful
coadjutor, the allies again entered the domain of the latter and
on the 15th of August, 1057, Malcolm killed Macbeth in battle at
Lumphanan."
