He was the son of King Kenneth II ofScotland and first cousin of his predecessor, King Kenneth III ofScotland (Cinâaed mac Duib), who was murdered by Malcolm II at theBattle of Monzievaird in 1005.nneth IIIbut Malcolm II finally gained the throne after Kenneth III's death. Itappears that he only ruled part of Scotland during his reign, inopposition to leaders from Moray such as Findlâaech mac Ruaidrâi (d.1020, probably father of Macbeth), and Mâael Coluim mac Mâail Brigti (d.1029), both of whom were also called Kings of Alba (and thereforeScotland) in the Irish annals, though neither are called Kings ofScotland in modern texts. In 1006, Malcolm II was defeated byNorthumbrian forces under Uhtred the Bold while besieging Durham. TheEnglish then became preoccupied with the Danish allowing Malcolm II tomarch south, avenging the loss at Durham by winning the Battle ofCarham against the Anglo-Saxons in 1016 and, thereby, regainingLothian. Thirteen years later, however, Canute, King of England,Denmark, and Norway, travelled to Scotland. What happened is lost totime, but claims that Malcolm II submitted to Canute seem veryunlikely.
