'''Duncan I''' was King of [[Scotland]] between ''c.''1034 and 1040, when he was killed in battle.

His father was Crinan, Mormaer of Atholl, and lay abbot of Dunkeld. His mother, however, was Bethoc, eldest daughter of King [[Malcolm II]]. Malcom had no sons, and accordingly a claim to the Scots throne passed through Bethoc to her son.
