Grand slam (baseball)

In baseball, a grand slam is a home run hit with runners on first, second, and third base ("bases loaded"). This scores four runs and is the most possible in one play. 

According to The Dickson Baseball Dictionary, the term came from the card game of contract bridge. A grand slam in contract bridge involves taking all the possible tricks. The word slam, by itself, can mean a loud sound, such as a door being closed with a lot of force. Slamming the door on one's opponent(s), is similar to the bat slamming the ball into a home run.

NN ingen Cináed

NN ingen Cináed was the eldest daughter of King Kenneth I (MacAlpin) of the Scots. She was born c. 834 when Kenneth was only 24 years old from an unknown mother. She was the mother of Eochaid, king of Scots who ruled with Giric.

Birth 
Not much is known about the birth of NN ingen except it happened around 834, somewhere in Scotland. She was born as the eldest daughter of Kenneth and his 11 other siblings, many of whom ruled Scotland.

Marriage 
She married Run mac Arthgail, a king of Strathclyde from c. 872-878. He gave her one child, later to be king of Scots named Eochaid, who was deposed in 889 when she was 55 years old (dead or alive?). She also married Rí na h'Alt Clut who supposedly gave her no child as Eochaid is the only recorded child of NN ingen.

Death 
It is unknown when NN ingen Cináed died but would most likely be in the 860s to 880s sometime during or after the reign of Constantine I, Donald I and Eochaid, her son. She died in Ireland.

Macbeth, King of Scotland

Macbeth (Mac Bethad mac Findlaích in Gaelic) was King of Scotland from 1040-1057.  William Shakespeare wrote a famous play about him called Macbeth.  In the play, Macbeth is an evil king who murders his cousin so he can become king.   In real life, Macbeth was more peaceful than this, though he did kill King Duncan I of Scotland.

Birth 
Macbeth was born around 1005 in Morayshire, Scotland. His name in Gaelic was "Mac Bethad mac Findlaích" (in modern Gaelic, it is MacBheatha mac Fhionnlaigh), meaning "son of life".  His father was Findláech mac Ruaidrí, Mormaer of Moray.  When Macbeth was born, he became Mormaer of Moray.  Macbeth's mother, Donada, may have been Malcolm II's second daughter.

Marriage 
In 1032, before he became king, Macbeth married Gruoch of Scotland (called "Lady Macbeth" in English).  They remained married until his death in 1057.  She died three years later, in 1060.

Children 
Macbeth may have had one child with Gruoch, but this is not certain. This child was Ferchar Og, Prince of Scots. 

Macbeth did have a stepson, Lulach, who succeeded him as king but died in 1058.

King of Scots 
On August 14th, 1040, Macbeth murdered King Duncan I in battle and was crowned King of Scotland. His reign continued until August 15th or 17th, when he was murdered in another battle.  His stepson Lulach became king in Macbeth's place.

In 1058, Lulachwas murdered in battle by his cousin Malcolm III, who then became king.

Burial 
Macbeth's burial most likely took place soon after his death.  He was buried in Iona, Scotland.  This is a place where many kings have been buried, starting with the mythical first King of Scots, Kenneth MacAlpin.

Young kings of England

Since the reign of the first kings of England the question of who should rule next has been hard to answer. Examples of this are when Edward the Elder died leaving two sons Aelfward and Athelstan, but Aelfward died 28 days after Edward leaving the throne to Athelstan. But when a king picked his successor in the 1100's it was known as the young king. The next king, the prince of Wales usually got to reign as the young king of England before his ascension but both of the young/junior/titular kings never ascended to the throne.

The young kings of England in order of reign were:

 Eustace IV, son of Stephen (1152-1153) as titular king
 Henry the Young, son of Henry II (1170-1183) as young king

Ever since Henry the Young the next in line has never been crowned as young king and just simply prince of Wales or just titled as "the rightful heir to the English throne".For kings of England, see List of English monarchs.

Donald I of Scotland

Birth 
Donald I was born in 812, most likely in Iona.

Reign 
Donald I's reign began on 13 February 858 when his brother Kenneth died from natural causes. He was king for only 3-4 years as he died in 862. He left the throne to his nephew, Constantine I.

Death 
Donald I died on 13 April 862, 4 years and 2 months into his reign. He died in battle against Vikings. Not much else is known about his death.

Constantine I of Scotland

Constantine I was a son of Kenneth MacAlpin and was king of Picts "Rex Pictorium" from either 862/863 to 877 when he died in Fife, during a battle against Norse invaders. He was the nephew of his predecessor Donald I and the son of Kenneth MacAlpin I of the Picts and Queen Cinaeth MacDonald. He was styled as king of the Picts but now is traditionally referred to as king of Scots as many consider Kenneth I to be the first king of Scots.

Birth 
Not much is known about Constantine's birth like many Scottish kings but he was born sometime around 836-844 in Iona, modern day Argyllshire, Scotland. He was the son of Kenneth MacAlpin, king of Scots and an unknown mother, he was a nephew of Donald I, brother to Aed and also to NN Ingen Cináeda.

Reign 
When Donald I died in 862 of unknown causes, Constantine succeeded him and became the king of Picts, it is unknown if his reign began in 863 with his coronation or 862 with his ascension but most sources agree his reign began in April 862 after the death of his uncle Donald I.

Death 
In 877 fighting the Vikings in Fife, Constantine was killed. The throne passed to his brother Aed, as his son was considered too young to be king as he was only around 10 at the time. When Aed died in 878 the throne passed to Donald I, his uncle's son, Constantine's cousin Giric who ruled from 878-889, then finally followed by Constantine's son, Donald II, the last Pictish king who ruled from 889-900, all monarchs after him were styled "King of Alba" or Rex Alban
