According to the historical record and the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth', Donalbain and Malcolm were the sons of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040]. Donalbain undoubtedly was younger. According to the historical record, he became the subsequent King Donald III [d. 1099]. Also according to the historical record, Malcolm undoubtedly was the elder. He became the subsequent King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093]. But unlike the play, the historical record didn't identify Macbeth as King Duncan's killer. Instead, the record showed the King as having been killed by his own men for his unprovoked, unpopular, unjustified, and unjust invasion of Macbeth's lands at Moray. Neither did the record identify Malcolm as succeeding Macbeth as King of Scotland. Nor did the historical record show Macduff as killing Macbeth. Instead, it showed Malcolm as coming to power after mortally wounding Macbeth [d. August 15, 1057] at the battle of Lumphanan, and killing Macbeth's stepson King Lulach [d. March 17, 1058] near Huntly.
