Page "Dub, King of Scotland" Paragraph 3

The various accounts differ on what happened afterwards.

The Chronicle claims that Dub was driven out of the kingdom.

The Latin material interpolated in Andrew of Wyntoun's Orygynale Cronykl states that he was murdered at Forres, and links this to an eclipse of the sun which can be dated to 20 July 966.

The Annals of Ulster report only: " Dub mac Maíl Coluim, king of Alba, was killed by the Scots themselves "; the usual way of reporting a death in internal strife, and place the death in 967.

It has been suggested that Sueno's Stone, near Forres, may be a monument to Dub, erected by his brother Kenneth II ( Cináed mac Maíl Coluim ).

It is presumed that Dub was killed or driven out by Cuilén, who became king after Dub's death, or by his supporters.
