Scotland's Malcolm III MacDuncan and his eldest son Edward are entrapped and killed November 13 at a place that will be called Malcolm's Cross. The 62-year-old Malcolm was coerced in 1072 into pledging subservience to the late William the Conqueror but has been laying siege to Alnwick in an invasion of England; his wife, Margaret, dies 4 days later, and he is succeeded after a 35-year reign by his 60-year-old brother Donald Bane (the Fair), who objects to the English influence that has taken root under Malcolm III and his English wife Margaret; Donald will reign until next year as Donald III.
