Kings-Queens of Scotland.Duncan II.

Duncan II, (died 1094), king of Scotland (1093–94), son of Malcolm III and grandson of Duncan I.

For many years (1072?–87) Duncan lived as a hostage of the Norman English, allegedly as a confirmation of his father’s homage to William I of England. He became king of the Scots while driving out his uncle, Donald Bane, in 1094, an enterprise in which he was helped by some English and Normans. He was killed at the instigation of Donald Bane, possibly at Monthechin, making way for the restoration of Donald Bane.
