1058 CE

Lulach appears to have been a weak king, as his nicknames suggest.

He does, however, have the distinction of being the first king of Scotland of whom there are coronation details available.

Placed on the throne by the king's followers and crowned in August 1057 at Scone, Lulach was the son of Gruoch of Scotland, from her first marriage to Gille Coemgáin, Mormaer of Moray, and thus the stepson of Macbeth (Mac Bethad mac Findlaích).

Lulach rules only for a few months before being assassinated on March 17, 958 and usurped by Malcolm III (Máel Coluim mac Donnchada).
