King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] made no comment on the actual execution or on the Thane of Cawdor's behavior. His son, the future King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093], indicated that the Thane headed towards his death in a far more admirable way than he hadn't led his life. He was honest about his faults, and equally honest about his desire to be punished. The King merely admitted that the Thane's traitorous behavior had fooled him and taken him off guard. He confessed that he always had considered the Thane dependable, honest, and straightforward. He indicated that he hadn't seen anything of what was coming on the Thane's seemingly kindly, loyal, respectful face.
