Notes

The Kinship of Macbeth and William the Conquerer

A study of the Scottish clan genealogies following the death of Macbeth reveal that his legacy survived in the lineage of the Stewart kings. Because of this, Shakespeare and Elizabethan (Tudor) historians had a vested interest in rewriting history to legitimize the Plantagenet/Tudor claim at the expense of the Norman/Stewarts. One of the ways to achieve this without doing outright harm to William was to downplay or hide his Scottish ties while playing up the Atheling claim through Matilda. That William had direct ties to Scotland is evident when one looks carefully.

In 1052, Macbeth received a number of Norman exiles from England in his court, perhaps becoming the first king of Scots to introduce Norman feudalism to Scotland. A careful study of Scottish surnames compared with the Domesday registry reveal that a great number of Norman nobles that accompanied William the Conquerer had in fact already preceeded him in the prior generation and and were already firmly established in their lands and fiefdoms in Scotland, Northern Wales and Northumberland prior to 1066.

The research sources of Nigel Tranter contains accounts of Macbeth's trip to Rome to petition the Pope for reconciliation on behalf of the Celtic Catholic Church. Macbeth traveled to Rome in the longships of his Norman kinsman [identified as his brother]. The kinsman in question would have been his brother-in-law Robert (the Devil) FitzRichard d'Everaux. Robert was the husband of Harelete (Arlette) and the father of William the Conquerer. William's mother Arlette (Harelete) was a daughter of Doda (Doada) MacMalcoluim by her first marriage to the French noble Fuhlburt Tonnerre d'Falaise who died in 1017. Doada returned to Scotland where she was married to Findlaech of Moray as his second "Norse" (Norman) wife. By Findlaech she had a son Maelbaetha MacFindlach (Macbeth) who inherited from his father the Pictish title Mormaer of Moray, and was elected by the Scottish nobles as regent and successor to his uncle Duncan MacMalcouim.

As the son of the king's sister, William the Conquerer was recognized by a contingent of Scottish Nobles (with Pictish and Norman heritage) as a Tánaise Ríg with a legitimate claim to the throne of Scotland through the Pictish laws of Tanistry. In response to the ensuing political unrest in the British Isles resulting from Atheling support for the invasion of Scotland (with aims to restore Malcolm III to the throne of Scotland) William unites the Norman and French nobles to press his claim to for a united England and Scotland by invading England in 1066. (This by virtue of his wife Matilda's claim to the Atheling legacy, as well as his own to the throne of Scotland.)

1066. Le Seigneur de Barde, mentioned as one of William Duke of Normandy's followers to the conquest of England. — (A large old History of Normandy in the Advocates' Library, and Hollingsheds Chronicle^ who calls him the Seigneur de Beart (Beathe/Baibd) — Library at Glasgow. This name is clearly Gaelic from the South of France. Related surnames include Beaton, Burd, Monibhard, Tullibardin. It is interesting that this surname appears in the lineages of both King Macbeth (Macbeatha MacFindlach) and his Lady Grouch (Gruocj nicBoedhe MacCinaeda).
