Kenneth II was the King of Scotland from 971 to 995, Prince Malcolm’s older brother, and Princess Katharine's uncle. He was also father of Maol Chalvim II.
History[]
Kenneth was the second son of King Maol Chalvim I, half-brother to Duff and Prince Malcolm both. He shared Duff's fortunes loyally in their struggles with Indulf and his son Culen over the Scottish throne from 954 until 967, when Duff was slain in battle against Culen and Kenneth and his family had to flee to England and enter exile there. Four years later, however, with the aid of the Wyvern gargoyles, Kenneth returned to Scotland, overthrew Culen, and became King.[1]
Kenneth II's coronation in 971 A.D.[2]
Kenneth had one son, Maol Chalvim,[3] who later on became King of Scotland as Maol Chalvim II from 1005 to 1034.
Kenneth reigned until 995. In that year, Kenneth welcomed his niece, Princess Katharine, who sought refuge as she and her subjects had fled from Castle Wyvern. Though initially uncertain of the gargoyle eggs Katharine had been safekeeping, Kenneth welcomed her nonetheless and paid no mind to them. Kenneth had fallen in love with Lady Finella, and proposed to her by the time his niece arrived had taken refuge in his court. Finella, however had fallen in love with Lord Constantine, the ambitious son of Culen, who only courted Finella to get closer to the throne. Unwittingly, Finella assisted Constantine in assassinating King Kenneth usuroping his throne. In his old age, he began to dote on the Lady Finella, who did not return his feelings for her. Constantine took advantage of this to dupe Finella into holding a secret meeting with him in the drying-house, where she could tell him in private that she wished to marry Constantine instead of him. When Kenneth entered, Constantine took him by surprise and murdered him. After King Kenneth's death, his court was thrown into chaos, his son forced to flee, followed by Katharine.[3]
