• Notes

  Gruoch mustered fierce opposition against King Malcolm II, who responded by killing her husband, Gillacomgen of Moray. Gruoch (who was pregnant at the time) fled to the protection of her cousin-in-law Macbeth, the son of Donada and Findlaech. Shortly afterwards, in 1032, she married her protector - and was henceforth Lady Macbeth.
