1057 CE Malcolm III - Malcolm Canmore
by D. Charles Bettis
Malcolm III (Malcolm Canmore), d. 1093, was king of Scotland from 1057-1093. He was the son of Duncan I and successor to Macbeth. It took him several years after Macbeth's death to regain the boundaries of his father's kingdom. Around 1068, Edgar Atheling, pretender to the English throne, took refuge with Malcolm, who soon after married Edgar's sister Margaret, (Saint Margaret of Scotland). On behalf of Edgar, Malcolm invaded northern England, but in 1072 William I of England invaded Scotland, and Malcolm made peace with him. During the reign of William II, Edgar joined Malcolm in his raid into England in 1091, but William forced both men to submit and pay homage. Malcolm III was killed at Alnwick in still another raid into Northumbria in 1093. His frequent wars insured the independence of his kingdom, which made possible the great ecclesiastical reorganization initiated by his wife Margaret. Four of Malcolm's sons were kings of Scotland. His daughter Matilda married Henry I of England, and another daughter was the mother of the wife of King Stephen of England.

A service mark is "any word, name, symbol, device, or any combination, used, or
intended to be used, in commerce, to identify and distinguish the services of
one provider from services provided by others, and to indicate the source of the
services."
Since the early 1980s privately, and since 1993 publicly, Clannada na Gadelica,
and ONLY Clannada na Gadelica, have used this terminology, (and more terminology
which we are also Service Marking), as specific definitional phraseologies to
explicate and expound upon the Gaelic Cultural Traditions of the Gaelic
Hearthlands. Clannada na Gadelica have provided this original work and
original service exclusively, and can documentably prove we were are the originators of the modern re-employment in the Diaspora of this terminology. We specifically do NOT grant permission to use this terminology to any other entity or individuals.
I am Service Marking this work because Kathryn Price a.k.a Kathryn nic Dhana, and the Celtic
Reconstructionist identity thieves, and now other neo-pagans, as well as now a
Canadian on-line t-shirt company, have been poaching this terminology and trying
to crassly commercialize it.
Enough is enough. Clannada coined it and if it takes registering it as a
commercial service mark to protect it, then, so be it, and I'll take the
inevitable ass-whipping from the authentic Tradition Bearers in the Hearthlands
for it. When and if authentic cultural entities in the Hearthlands want to
assume the mark for themselves, I'll release it to them. Until then, this is the
line.
