Duncan Family Tree
Military Service
| Person |  King of Scotland Duncan mac Crinain I |
|---|---|
| Description | Duncan responded in 1040 with an attack on Durham after Ealdred invaded Strathclyde. Like his grandfather's attack in 1006, it ended in disaster, with Scottish forces fleeing, and Scottish heads decorating the Durham marketplace. This defeat seems to hae weakened his authority so severely that Macbeth of the Cenel Loairn was able to defeat and kill him in battle near Elgin |
