Detailed explanation-1: -Duncan I, (died Aug. 14, 1040, near Elgin, Moray, Scot.), king of the Scots from 1034 to 1040. Duncan was the grandson of King Malcolm II (ruled 1005–34), who irregularly made him ruler of Strathclyde when that region was absorbed into the Scottish kingdom (probably shortly before 1034).
Detailed explanation-2: -Donnchad mac Crinain (Scottish Gaelic: Donnchadh mac Crìonain; anglicised as Duncan I, and nicknamed An t-Ilgarach, “the Diseased” or “the Sick"; c. 1001 – 14 August 1040) was king of Scotland (Alba) from 1034 to 1040.
