-- King Malcolm --
rebelled twice against MacBeth in an effort to gain the throne.

The second attempt was more successful as Malcolm, at the head of an English Saxon army defeated and killed MacBeth while his Norwegian allies were engaged elsewhere and Malcolm ascended the throne in 1057 as King Malcolm III Ceann Mor (Canmore).

During his 37 year reign, the first events now known as Highland Games were held on the Braes of Mar to choose the best available men to serve as his servants and soldiers. His death in battle in December 1093 and the death of his wife, several days later brought on a turbulent time which saw Malcolm's eldest son, King Duncan II murdered by Malcolm's brother Donald Bane, Lord of the Isles, in order to become king. Another son, Edgar, finally secured the throne in 1097 with the help of another English army of Saxons and Normans led by his mother's brother, Edgar Aetheling. King Malcolm III's hereditary possessions devolved on his youngest brother, Maelmare, the first celtic Earl of Atholl and on his death, the earldom passed to Malcolm III's namesake, the second son of his first marriage. This Malcolm, the younger brother of the slain King Duncan II is the recognised progenitor of the Clan.

-- Queen Margaret --
spent much of her time and money on works of charity, herself attending on the
poor, the aged, the orphans and the sick. She supervised the making of vestments and fine
things for the church. She was an admirable mother. She solved the problem facing the
church in the Scotland of her day. Cut off by pagan invasion, the Celtic church had come
to differ on points of procedure with Rome, and it was Margaret's personal achievement
to reconcile the conflicting elements by bringing the Celtic church in Scotland back to
conformity. This she did in such a way as to avoid schism or bitterness.

Similarly, her
efforts to introduce European culture into Scotland were markedly successful. Whereas
in England the Norman Conquest left a legacy of bitterness, the comparatively peaceful
infusion of medieval culture into Scotland under Margaret and her sons was effected in
such a manner as to bring a veritable golden age to Scotland, that lasted for two hundred
years after Margaret's death. She died in Edinburgh Castle, and died, like so many saints,
at a time when all that she had worked for seemed lost; her husband was killed in battle
and rebel forces were attacking Edinburgh. But three of her sons succeeding to the throne
in turn, their mother's work was reinforced and brought to fullness.
