Gille Coemgáin of Moray
Gille Coemgáin or Gillecomgan was the King or Mormaer of Moray, a semi-autonomous kingdom centred on Inverness that stretched across the north of Scotland.
Unlike his two predecessors, he is not called "King of Scotland" in his death notice, but merely Mormaer.
This has led to some speculation that he was never actually the ruler of Moray, but merely a subordinate of Mac Bethad mac Findláich.
(Hudson p. 136).
In 1020, he participated in the killing of his uncle Findláech.
The Annals of Ulster (s.a. 1032) reports that Gille Coemgáin was burned to death, together with 50 of his men.
The perpetrators are not mentioned in any sources.
From circumstances, two candidates have been proposed to have led the atrocity: Malcolm II of Scotland or Gille Coemgáin's cousin Mac Bethad, who then became the only ruler of Moray.
Mac Bethad reportedly married Gille Coemgáin's widow, Gruoch - either as a conquered enemy widow or a widow of an ally and kinsman, depending on who was responsible for the murder.
Both scenarios are entirely credible, knowing archaic medieval customs - nothing exculpatory can be concluded from the marriage, whereas the adoption of the stepson may be a weightier indication.
Gille Coemgáin was the father of Lulach, a future King of Scotland, fostered by Mac Bethad, whom he succeeded.

Lulach
Lulach mac Gille Coemgáin
(Modern Gaelic: "Lughlagh mac Gille Chomghain", known in English simply as Lulach, and nicknamed Tairbith, "the Unfortunate" and Fatuus, "the Simple-minded" or "the Foolish"; before 1033 – 17 March 1058) was King of Scots between 15 August 1057 and 17 March 1058.
Lulach was the son of Gruoch of Scotland, from her first marriage to Gille Coemgáin, Mormaer of Moray, and thus the stepson of Macbeth (Mac Bethad mac Findlaích).
Following the death of Macbeth at the Battle of Lumphanan on 15 August 1057, the king's followers placed Lulach on the throne.
He has the distinction of being the first king of Scotland of whom there are coronation details available: he was crowned, probably on 8 September 1057 at Scone.
Lulach appears to have been a weak king, as his nicknames suggest, and ruled only for a few months before being assassinated and usurped by Malcolm III.
Lulach's son Máel Snechtai was Mormaer of Moray, while Óengus of Moray was the son of Lulach's daughter.
He is believed to be buried on Saint Columba's Holy Island of Iona in or around the monastery.
The exact position of his grave is unknown.
Macbeth, King of Scotland
Macbeth( Medieval Gaelic:" Mac Bethad mac Findlaích"; Modern Gaelic:" MacBheatha mac Fhionnlaigh"; nicknamed," the Red King"; – 15 August 1057) was King of Scots from 1040 until his death.
He ruled over only a portion of present- day Scotland.
Little is known about Macbeth's early life, although he was the son of Findláech of Moray and may have been a grandson of Malcolm II.
He became Mormaer of Moray – a semi- autonomous lordship – in 1032, and was probably responsible for the death of the previous mormaer, Gille Coemgáin.
He subsequently married Gille Coemgáin's widow, Gruoch, although they had no children together.
In 1040, Duncan I launched an attack into Moray and was killed in action by Macbeth's troops.
Macbeth succeeded him as King of Alba, apparently with little opposition.
His 17- year reign was mostly peaceful, although in 1054 he was faced with an English invasion, led by Siward, Earl of Northumbria, on behalf of Edward the Confessor.
Macbeth was killed at the Battle of Lumphanan in 1057 by forces loyal to the future Malcolm III.
He was buried on Iona, the traditional resting place of Scottish kings.
Macbeth was initially succeeded by his stepson Lulach, but Lulach ruled for only a few months before also being killed by Malcolm III, whose descendants would rule Scotland until the late 13th century.
Macbeth is today best known as the main character of William Shakespeare's tragedy" Macbeth" and the many works it has inspired.
However, Shakespeare's Macbeth is based on" Holinshed's Chronicles"( published in 1577) and is not historically accurate.
