12th November 1094 saw King Duncan II killed at the Battle of Monthechin, near Kincardine.
We know very little about the battle, but a little background from the Annals of Ulster record that the "French went into Scotland and brought away the son of the king of Scotland as hostage" in 1072, which presumably refers to Duncan as any of his half-brothers (if then born) would have been infants at the time.
Duncan was kept in Normandy, Florence of Worcester in the Chronicon ex chronicis records that Robert III "Curthose" Duke of Normandy released "Ulfam Haroldi quondam regis Anglorum filium, Dunechaldumque regis Scottorum Malcolmi filium" from custody after his father's death in September 1087, knighted him and allowed them to leave Normandy.
He joined William II King of England and remained at his court in England. Florence of Worcester again records that Duncan served in the army of King William II, who supported his bid to depose his uncle, and to whom Duncan swore fealty before leaving for Scotland. He deposed his uncle in 1094 and proclaimed himself Duncan II King of Scotland after his brother's death but that "filius regis Malcolmi Dunechain" expelled "patruum suum Dufenaldum".
Another chronicle, The Annals of Inisfallen record that "Domnall son of Donnchadh" killed "Donnchadh son of Mael Coluim king of Alba" in 1094 and "took the kingship of Alba".
So to put it all together, Duncan was taken as a hostage to stop his faither, King Malcolm III, from attacking Northern England, he would not have been held as a prisoner, but brought up with the royal household of William I, eventually being knighted and taking a role in the English court. He would know his heritage though and must have had one eye on returning to Scotland and taking his place as King one day.
Malcolm meanwhile had given refuge to Edgar Ætheling, who seen himself as the rightful King of England, Edgar persuaded Malcolm to help him regain the English throne for The Wessex family......more on this tomorrow, but the upshot was Malcolm was slain and Duncan, with the Norman’s help took the Scottish throne in the Spring 1094. There was much opposition to this, especially from the Highland Scots who seen him as an outsider, and in November news reached the Highland army that Duncan was exposed, the army rode south to the Lowlands and confronted his nephew. On 12th November, Duncan was ambushed and killed in battle, having reigned for less than seven months.
As I said earlier not much is known about the battle and the Chronicles are a bit contradictory and really a bit confusing, but in the main they all point to Donald being behind the battle, one source says he was Duncan’s brother, but historians point out that he was more likely his uncle. Confused? Me too!
At the end of the day this was all down to the Gaels making a stand against the southerners taking control of the Scottish Crown, Donald III reigned for three years, being deposed by his half brother Edgar, another of Malcolm III’s sons, you could also say it was a family fight as two of Malcolm’s sons, Duncan, and Edgar and his brother Donald are all part of this story. Malcolm III influence did not only extend to those three relatives though, a further two sons, Alexander I and David I both went on to rule Scotland as Kings of the House of Dunkeld, a dynasty that only ended when Margaret of Norway perished in 1286.
The pic of Duncan, is one of the series of fictitious portraits of early Scottish kings by 17th century artist Jacob de Wet.
The sources from the chronicles come mainly from this source https://buist-keatch.org/buist/goring/3160.html
“Tune” in tomorrow for more background on Malcolm III and his demise.

So... Just a thought. It's just a thought, I may or may not do it...
What if... I made... cheesy little Valentine cards for these four and/or little Valentine-themed OC x Reader bits for them? 💌🌹 I'm trying to gauge how deranged of a thought this is that I woke up with today... hahaha!
Anyway, for those who may see this: Like this post or just let me know if you wouldn't mind the idea of this - or may even like to see it happen! 💕

Lighthouse Keeper is a total mood
Also, does Tiernan ever braid her hair as an attempt to flirt/be a good husband?
She is so done with this entire situation. She just wanted to work at her lighthouse. Alone. And now has an entire mythical being following her around like a lost puppy 😂
Probably! I could definitely see him doing it. It's hard to tell in the artwork but he has pearls at the end of each braid so I'm imagining that one night while she was sleeping he just started braiding her hair and putting pretty sea shells or maybe more pearls that he went diving for for her into it because that's what he and his sisters do. So she just wakes up hella confused and also like "That's weird. Don't do peoples hair while they sleep" 😂

Do you think in the final climax of the novel Meng Mo who has to just live in Binghe's head, not even rent free man pays rent, saw what was going on. Saw the drama and then sees Shen Qingqiu take action and just awkwardly closed the curtain or was he more really right in front of my salad?
