Made peace with the Danes

Donald II (889 - 900)
King of the Scots (from 889), son of Constantine I and successor to Eochaid and Giric (reigned 878-889). His reign coincided with renewed invasions by the Danes, who came less to plunder and more to occupy thelands bordering Scotland and the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. He was also embroiled in efforts to reduce the highland robber tribes. By one account he was slain at Dunnottar, meeting a Danish invasion; by another hedied of infirmity brought on by his campaigns against the highlanders. He was succeeded by his cousin Constantine II.

He was succeeded by his cousin Constantine II.

Domnall became king on the death or deposition of Giric mac Dúngail, the date of which is not certainly known but usually placed in 889. The Chronicle of the Kings of Alba reports:

Doniualdus son of Constantini held the kingdom for 11 years [889–900]. The Northmen wasted Pictland at this time. In his reign a battle occurred between Danes and Scots at Innisibsolian where the Scots had victory. He was killed at Opidum Fother [modern Dunnottar] by the Gentiles.[2]

It has been suggested that the attack on Dunnottar, rather than being a small raid by a handful of pirates, may be associated with the ravaging of Scotland attributed to Harald Fairhair in the Heimskringla.[3] The Prophecy of Berchán places Domnall's death at Dunnottar, but appears to attribute it to Gaels rather than Norsemen; other sources report he died at Forres.[4] Domnall's death is dated to 900 by the Annals of Ulster and the Chronicon Scotorum, where he is called king of Alba, rather that king of the Picts. He was buried on Iona.

The change from king of the Picts to king of Alba is seen as indicating a step towards the kingdom of the Scots, but historians, while divided as to when this change should be placed, do not generally attribute it to Domnall in view of his epithet.[5] The consensus view is that the key changes occurred in the reign of Causantín mac Áeda,[6] but the reign of Giric has also been proposed.[7]

The Chronicle of the Kings of Alba has Domnall succeeded by his cousin Causantín mac Áeda. Domnall's son Máel Coluim was later king. The Prophecy of Berchán appears to suggest that another king reigned for a short while between Domnall and Causantín, saying "half a day will he take sovereignty". Possible confirmation of this exists in the Chronicon Scotorum, where the death of "Ead, king of the Picts" in battle against the Uí Ímair is reported in 904. This, however, is thought to be an error, referring perhaps to Ædwulf , the ruler of Bernicia, whose death is reported in 913 by the other Irish annals.[8]

[From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_II_of_Scotland]
Donald II of Scotland (Domnall mac Causantín) was King of Scots from 889 to 900. He was the son of Constantine I of Scotland and first cousin of the previous King Eochaid and of his successor Constantine II (900?943).

Donald II took the throne of Scotland in battle as an act of revenge. King Giric of Scotland (who ruled jointly with Donald II's predecessor, Eochaid) had murdered Donald II's uncle, Aedh, in 878. Upon Giric's death, Donald II expelled Eochaid from the country, thereby taking rulership of Scotland for himself.

It was under the rule of King Donald II that the Kingdom of Strathclyde came under Scottish dominance to create the Kingdom of Alba, thus being recognized in the Annals of Ulster as "ri Alban" as opposed to "rex Pixtorum," as his predecessors had been known. His reign coincided with renewed invasions by the Danes, who came less to plunder and more to occupy the lands bordering Scotland and the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. The Danish had conquered all of northern Scotland through the leadership of 'Sigurd the Mighty'. Donald II was also embroiled in efforts to reduce the Highland robber tribes.

Details of his death are obscure and uncertain. By one account he was slain at Dunnottar while meeting a Danish invasion; by another he died of infirmity brought on by his campaigns against the Highlanders, a natural death that is very uncommon in this period. He was buried on the Isle of Iona, the historic resting place of all Dál Riatan and early Scottish Kings. He was succeeded by his cousin Constantine II. His son, Malcolm, later became King Malcolm I of Scotland.

Domnall mac Causantín (anglicised Donald II) was King of the Picts or King of Alba in the late 9th century. He was the son of Causantín mac Cináeda.

Giric had murdered Donald's uncle, King Aedh.
According to established tradition, Donald II was crowned King on the Stone of Destiny at Scone Abbey, near the meeting of Fortriu and Circinn. The place 'of the high shields' or 'the melodious shields' as it was known, is a reference to the traditional Celtic clash of shields at the inauguration of a new King.
Under Donald the country is referred to for the first time by a chronicler as Alban. He himself was known as 'Ri Albain' or King of Alban.
The old Kingdom of Dalraida gradually began to decline until it eventually became the area known as Airer Gaethel, or Argyle, meaning the land of the Gaels. The Picts also began to loose their identity as a separate power, as their lands were progressively colonised by the Scots of Dalraida. The Scots possessed a written system of administration which their neighbours the Picts lacked, which was probably one of the reasons for their ascendancy. The Gaelic language slowly began to gain ground amongst the non-Celtic tribes of Scotland, though the process of amalgamation between the various races of Scotland was a slow one.
During his short reign Donald II fought off the continued savage attacks of the Viking raiders, bent on rapine and pillage, they terrorised Scotland. Harold Fairhair, King of Norway took over the Shetlands, the Orkneys, the Hebridean Islands and Caithness. Donald also became involved in efforts to suppress the unruly Celtic Highland clans. He fell in battle against the Vikings at Dunnottar after a reign of only a year. He was succeeded by Constantine II

Notes ◦Other parishes in Scotland may boast themselves the birthplace of greater men than can Fordoun, but no district in Scotland has seen the death of so many Sovereigns.
Donald, King of Alban (889 - 900) was killed in a battle between the Danes and the Scots.
"Over Fotherdun upon the brink of the waves he lies,
In the east, in his broad, gory bed"
says St Berchan.
Dr Skene identifies this with the parish of Fordoun, although referring to Dun Fother or Dunnottar as the locality. The Kingdom of Alban extended from the Forth to the Spey.

Notes ◦Other parishes in Scotland may boast themselves the birthplace of greater men than can Fordoun, but no district in Scotland has seen the death of so many Sovereigns.

Donald, King of Alban (889 - 900) was killed in a battle between the Danes and the Scots. "Over Fotherdun upon the brink of the waves he lies, In the east, in his broad, gory bed" says St Berchan. Dr Skene identifies this with the parish of Fordoun, although referring to Dun Fother or Dunnottar as the locality. The Kingdom of Alban extended from the Forth to the Spey.

The change from king of the Picts to king of Alba is seen as indicating a step towards the kingdom of the Scots, but historians, while divided as to when this change should be placed, do not generally attribute it to Donald in view of his epithet.

The Chronicle of the Kings of Alba has Donald succeeded by his cousin Constantine II. Donald's son Malcolm (Máel Coluim mac Domnall) was later king as Malcolm I.

He was the son of Constantine I (Causantín mac Cináeda). Donald is given the epithet Dásachtach, "the Madman", by the Prophecy of Berchán.[2]

[edit] Life

Donald became king on the death or deposition of Giric (Giric mac Dúngail), the date of which is not certainly known but usually placed in 889. The Chronicle of the Kings of Alba reports:
“ Doniualdus son of Constantini held the kingdom for 11 years [889–900]. The Northmen wasted Pictland at this time. In his reign a battle occurred between Danes and Scots at Innisibsolian where the Scots had victory. He was killed at Opidum Fother [modern Dunnottar] by the Gentiles.[3] ”

It has been suggested that the attack on Dunnottar, rather than being a small raid by a handful of pirates, may be associated with the ravaging of Scotland attributed to Harald Fairhair in the Heimskringla.[4] The Prophecy of Berchán places Donald's death at Dunnottar, but appears to attribute it to Gaels rather than Norsemen; other sources report he died at Forres.[5] Donald's death is dated to 900 by the Annals of Ulster and the Chronicon Scotorum, where he is called king of Alba, rather that king of the Picts. He was buried on Iona.

The change from king of the Picts to king of Alba is seen as indicating a step towards the kingdom of the Scots, but historians, while divided as to when this change should be placed, do not generally attribute it to Donald in view of his epithet.[6] The consensus view is that the key changes occurred in the reign of Constantine II (Causantín mac Áeda),[7] but the reign of Giric has also been proposed.[8]

The Chronicle of the Kings of Alba has Donald succeeded by his cousin Constantine II. Donald's son Malcolm (Máel Coluim mac Domnall) was later king as Malcolm I. The Prophecy of Berchán appears to suggest that another king reigned for a short while between Donald II and Constantine II, saying "half a day will he take sovereignty". Possible confirmation of this exists in the Chronicon Scotorum, where the death of "Ead, king of the Picts" in battle against the Uí Ímair is reported in 904. This, however, is thought to be an error, referring perhaps to Ædwulf , the ruler of Bernicia, whose death is reported in 913 by the other Irish annals.[9]

King of the Scots (from 889), son of Constantine I and successor to Eochaid and Giric (reigned 878-889). His reign coincided with renewed invasions by the Danes, who came less to plunder and more to occupy the lands bordering Scotland and the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. He was also embroiled in efforts to reduce the highland robber tribes. By one account he was slain at Dunnottar, meeting a Danish invasion; by another he died of infirmity brought on by his campaigns against the highlanders. He was succeeded by his cousin Constantine II.

Donald II (Domnall mac Causantín, død 900) var konge av Skottland fra 889 til sin død. Han var sønn av Konstantin I, nevø av Aedh og fetter av Eochaid.

Donald tok tronen med makt som en hevnhandling. Kong Giric, som hersket sammen med forgjengeren Eochaid, hadde myrdet onkelen Aedh i 878. Da Giric døde drev Donald sin fetter ut av landet, og tok tronen selv.

Under Donald II kom kongedømmet Strathclyde under skotsk overhøyhet. Ulsterannalene gikk dermed over til å snakke om ri Alban, Albas konge, i stedet for rex pictorum, pikternes konge, som hadde vært tittelen til forgjengerne. Danene fortsatte å invadere Skottland, først og fremst for å ta kontroll over områder i grenseområdet mellom Skottland og de angelsaksiske rikene. Danene erobret også det nordlige Skottland. På toppen av kampen mot danene måtte Donald II også forsøke å tøyle banditter i høylandet.

Detaljene omkring hans død er obskure og usikre. Ifølge en historie ble han drept ved Dunottar mens skottene slo tilbake en dansk invasjon. Men ifølge en annen historie døde han en naturlig død fordi hans helse hadde blitt svekket under stridene i høylandet. Han ble gravlagt på Iona, hvor også kongene av Dalriada og de tidligste skotske kongene ble stedt til hvile.

Donald II ble etterfulgt av fetteren Konstantin II. Hans sønn ble senere kronet som Malcolm I.

He ruled Scotland from 889 to 900. Domnall deposed his father's cousin, Giric, in 889. His reign saw a renewal of Viking pressure, and he may have faced challenges from within. In 900, he died in Moray, and was succeeded by his cousin, Castantin mac Áeda (Constantine II).
