Notes for this person
Lulach I of Scotland (c1029- March 17, 1058), known as The Fool, was king of Scotland between August 15, 1057 and March 17, 1058. He was the last king of the House of Alpin. Lulach was the son of princess Gruoch of Scotland (Lady Macbeth), from her first marriage to Gillacomagnan the Earl of Moray, and thus the stepson of Macbeth I of Scotland. Following the death in battle of Macbeth in 1057, the king's followers placed Lulach in the throne, despite strong resistance from the Malcolm Canmore faction. Lulach ruled only for a few months before being assassinated and succeeded by Malcolm. He appears to have been a weak king, as suggested by his knickname Lulach the Simple or the Fool. He does, however, have the distinction of being the first king of Scotland of whom there are coronation details available. He was crowned in August 1057 at Scone Abbey in Perthshire, Scotland. http://en.wikipedia.org
