Malcolm's father Duncan I became king in late 1034, on the death of Malcolm II, Duncan's maternal grandfather and Malcolm's great-grandfather.One Scottish king-list gives Malcolm's mother the name Suthen (Suthain), a Gaelic name; [7] John of Fordun states that Malcolm's mother was a "blood relative" (consanguinea) of the Danish earl Siward, [8] [9] though this may be a late attempt to deepen ...

Following the death of Duncan, his son Malcolm Canmore became an exile living with the court of Edward the Confessor, King of England. [2] In 1054 Malcolm was present when his uncle, Siward, Earl of Northumbria, invaded Scotland on his behalf.
