Kenneth III
Kenneth III was the son of King Duff and was known by many as 'The Grim'. He was first mentioned in Once Upon A Time There Were Three Brothers....
History
Born in 967, the same year that his father was slain at the Battle of Gaine. With the help of Maol Chalvim II and Findlaech of Moray, he overthrew Constantine III at the Battle of Rathveramoen in 997. Kenneth then became King of Scotland, only to be overthrown and slain by Maol Chalvim eight years later.
Characteristics
Kenneth III is a kind, approachable warm hearted man, truly a stark contrast to his nickname, the Grim. It has been pointed out that the nickname would have been more befitting of his cousin, Maol Chalvim II.
