• Name	Cináed mac Maíl Coluim (Kenneth) II -  [1, 2]
  Suffix	King of Alba
  Born	Bef 954  [1]
  Gender	Male
  Biography	He was King of Scots (Alba) from 954 until his death in 995. Kenneth likely made three forays (plundering) Northumbria. From Wikipedia: Kenneth was killed in 995, the Annals of Ulster say "by deceit" and the Annals of Tigernach say "by his subjects". Some later sources, such as the Chronicle of Melrose, John of Fordun and Andrew of Wyntoun provide more details, accurately or not. The simplest account is that he was killed by his own men in Fettercairn, through the treachery of Finnguala (also called Fimberhele), daughter of Cuncar, Mormaer of Angus, in revenge for the killing of her only son.
