Duncan II of Scotland

Duncan II ( Donnchad mac Maíl Coluim; * 1060, † November 12, 1094 ) was for half a year until his death in Scottish king.

He was the eldest son of Malcolm III. and his first wife Ingeborg of Halland and thus grandson of Duncan I. He was married to Athelreda of Northumberland and had an illegitimate son, William († 1153 ), Earl of Moray.

With the help of British troops Duncan sat in May 1094 from the jointly reigning kings Donald and Edmund. Donald III. was his uncle Edmund and his half-brother. However, Duncan was only a few months in power when he was killed in the Battle of Monthechin. Then Donald and Edmund took together again the rule.
