Today’s topic isn’t about a city or other sights. Today’s topic are the scottish King’s and Queen’s. There is a lot more to tell to each single of them but for now I thought it would be nice for you to have a list of them.
I added a few nicknames for those king’s which are very creative at times and offer a good look at how those people reigned.
840 – 858: Kenneth I (mac Alpin)
858 – 862: Donald I
862 – 877: Constantin I
877 – 878: Aed
878 – 889: Eochaid
889 – 900: Donald II
900 – 943: Constantin II
943 – 954: Malcolm I
954 -962: Indulph
1005 – 1034: Malcolm II
1034 – 1040: Duncan I
1040 – 1057: Macbeth
1057 – 1058: Lulach
1058 – 1093: Malcolm III (‘Canmore’)
1094: Donald III
1094: Duncan II
1094 – 1097: Donald III (restored)
1097 – 1107: Edgar (‘The Peaceable’)
1107 – 1124: Alexander I (‘The Fierce’)
1124 – 1153: David I
1153 – 1165: Malcolm IV (‘The Maiden’)
1165 – 1214: William (‘The Lion’)
1214 – 1249: Alexander II
1249 – 1286: Alexander III
1286 – 1290: Margaret (‘The Maid of Norway’)
1292 – 1296: John Balliol (‘Toom Tabard’)
1306 – 1329: Robert I (‘Robert Bruce’)
1329 – 1371: David II
1371 – 1390: Robert II
1390 – 1406: Robert III
1406 – 1437: James I
1437 – 1460: James II
1460 – 1488: James III
1488 – 1513: James IV
1513 – 1542: James V
1542 – 1567: Mary (‘Queen of Scots’)
1567 – 1626: James VI (from 1603 James I of England)
Following those kings and queens there was a joined King for all of Britain. Which is why I would call this the easy list. Cause following James VI there have been further Stuart King’s like the Bonnie Prince Charlie but that’s another and way more complicated story. So we will stay with our scottish kings and queens for now and come back to the british kings and queens another time.
