Daughter Of Scotland 1 2
- Marriage: Sigurd "the Stout" Hlodvirsson in 1005
General Notes:
...
In the west, Malcolm made an alliance with King Owen the Bald of Strathclyde and together they defeated King Canute at the Battle of Carham in 1018. At the same time, the marriage of his daughter to Sigurd the Stout, Norse Earl of Orkney, extended Malcolm's influence to the far north. He battled to expand his kingdom, gaining land down to the River Tweed and in Strathclyde. When King Owen died without an heir, Malcolm claimed Strathclyde for his grandson, Duncan. This caused dissent throughout the kingdom of Strathclyde which resulted in Malcolm's murder at Glamis in 1034. He was buried on the Isle of Iona shortly after.
As the last of the House of Alpin, he did not have any sons to succeed him. He, therefore, arranged good marriages for his daughters. One daughter married Earl Sigurd of Orkney and their son Thorfinn brought the lands of Caithness and Sutherland under the control of the King of Alba. His elder daughter, Bethoc, married the Abbot of Dunkeld and their son became Duncan I (c.1010 -1040), who succeeded Malcolm upon his death in 1034.
Daughter married Sigurd "the Stout" Hlodvirsson, son of Hlodvir (Lodver) Thorfinnsson and Audna Kjarvalsdatter, in 1005. (Sigurd "the Stout" Hlodvirsson was born circa 960 in Orkney, Scotland and died on 23 Apr 1014 in Battle of Clontarf, Dublin, Ireland.) The cause of his death was killed.
