king of See also:Alban, succeeded Cuilean, son of Indulph, who had been slain by the Britons of See also:Strathclyde in 971 in See also:Lothian. Kenneth began his reign by ravaging the See also:British See also:kingdom, but he lost a large See also:part of his force on the See also:river Cornag. Soon afterwards he attacked Eadulf, See also:earl of the See also:northern See also:half of See also:Northumbria, and ravaged the whole of his territory. He fortified the fords of the Forth as a See also:defence against the Britons and again invaded Northumbria, carrying off the earl's son. About this See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

to the See also:throne. According to the See also:English chroniclers, Kenneth paid See also:homage to King See also:Edgar for the cession of Lothian, but these statements are probably due to the controversy as to the position of See also:Scotland. The mormaers, or chiefs, of Kenneth were engaged throughout his reign in a contest with See also:Sigurd the See also:Norwegian, earl of See also:Orkney, for the See also:possession of See also:Caithness and the northern See also:district of Scotland as far See also:south as the See also:Spey. In this struggle the Scots attained no permanent success. In 995 Kenneth, whose strength like that of the other See also:kings of his See also:branch of the See also:house of Kenneth MacAlpin See also:lay chiefly See also:north of the See also:Tay, was slain treacherously by his own subjects, according to the later chroniclers at See also:Fettercairn in the Mearns through an intrigue of Einvela, daughter of the earl of See also:Angus. He was buried at See also:Iona.
