Ethelred CAENNMOR of Scotland
General Notes:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethelred_of_Scotland Ethelred (Edelred mac Maíl Coluim or Ĉŝelrĉd Margotsson) was the son of King Máel Coluim III and his wife Margaret, the third oldest of the latter and the probable sixth oldest of the former. He took his name, almost certainly, from Margaret's great-grandfather King Ĉŝelrĉd Unrĉd, or Ethelred the Unready. Ethelred had a multicultural upbringing in the pious household of his Gaelic father and Anglo-Hungarian mother. He had an ecclesiastical career and avoided a political career, perhaps because of some disability, being passed over for the succession. His career probably brought him the prestigious abbacy of Dunkeld, however he died as a cluniac monk in Somerset.
