Malcolm had nominated his sons at heirs to the Scottish throne and not Donald, his brother, which was normally the case in Scottish succession. Donald took the opportunity to claim the throne for himself and expelled Malcolm's remaining family to England. Donald is known as Donald Bane where it appears Bane means white or fair, possibly in reference to his hair colour. In May of 1094 Duncan, Donald's nephew with help from Norman knights, took the Scottish throne as Duncan II and exiled Donald. Duncan's reign only lasted until November 1094 when he was murdered and Donald was restored to the Scottish throne. Donald shared the rule of Scotland with his nephew Edmund the son of Malcolm III. In 1097 Edgar, another nephew, took the Scottish throne, again with Norman assistance. Donald and Edmund were imprisoned. Donald was blinded and he died a few years later. |
