King Kenneth Dubh – Black King of Scotland
A curious aspect of the early history of Scotland concerns various stories around Kenneth. King Kenneth was also known as ‘Kenneth the Niger’ or Kenneth Dubh, a surname which means ‘the black man’.
It is a matter of history that many seafaring warriors were North African, travelled via Iberia into Europe, and joined in many cultures and held power and position. Niger Val Dubh lived and reigned over certain black divisions in Scotland, and some histories state that a race known as ‘the sons of the blacks’ succeeded him. (e.g. see JA Rogers, Sex and Race).
Kenneth III was king of Scotland from 997 to 1005. He was the son of King Dubh (Dub mac Mail Choluim – 962-967), fourth cousin of the previous king Constantine III, and first cousin of his successor Malcolm II. Kenneth was the last king of Scotland to succeed to the throne through the tanistry system, whereby the succession was shared between two family lines and the dying king named his successor from the other family line. This system led to constant struggle between the ruling families and was abandoned. Kenneth and his son Giric were both killed at Monzievaird, Tayside in 1005.
His first cousin Malcolm succeeded him and abolished the tanistry system by killing all of his male descendants. However Kenneth had a granddaughter, Gruoch, via his daughter Boite, whose first husband was Gillacomgain. They had a son called Lulach. She then married King Macbeth I of Scotland (becoming Lady Macbeth). On the death of Macbeth her son via her first marriage, Kenneth III’s great grandson, succeeded to the throne, to become King Lulach of Scotland. According to this history, the blood of Kenneth flows through the royal houses of Scotland.
This story captures a curious fact about the Gaels from Gallicia – some were dark and have left many traces in Irish, Welsh and Scots clans.

WELL, I JUST STUMBLE ON THIS SITE IT IS NICE TO KNOW THAT THESE DEBATES ARE STILL RAGING THOUGHT THE THE RACIST MASSES. FOR THE INFORMATION OF ALL. I AM HAITIAN AMERICAN AND MY ROOTS TRACE BACK TO THE SCOTTISH AND ENGLISH CROWN REMEMBER THEY WERE COMBINED SERVERAL TIMES. MANY BLACKS WERE INDEED PART OF THE ROYAL FAMILY MY FATHERS LINIAGE IS PART OF BOTH THE ENGLISH AND SCOTTISH MONARCHY. GOOGLE THE LAST NAME KNAGGS AND YOU CAN FIND THIS BLACK FAMILY WITH DEEP ROOTS THERE. THE WAY SOME WERE ABLE TO DISTROY LINKS IS TO FORCE THE BLACK WOMEN HAVING THESE CHILDREN TO KEEP THERE MAIDEN NAMES. BACK THEN THE IDEA WAS TO KEEP AFRICAN HERTITAGE FOR TRADE PURPOSES, BUT THE RESULTS IS NOW THE ABILTY TO ERASE THESE PEOPLE FROM HISTORY. BUT IN THE LONG RUN IT DOESNT REALLY MATTER.
ISLAM oh how the tamahu lies are unraveling. NEXT LIE, THAT YOU THINK WE WOULD BELIEVE. WE KNOW YOU NOW. EVERYONE WAS OF COLOR DARK TO COPPER. YOU LOST YOUR BLESSING COLOR.THEY SAY A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS.Look up any people no matter where in the world all started with dark people. Nowhere will you find any tamahu in our family originally. Albino children born to dark in hue people to this day. We were and are a conquered people, of course they would change ourstory to his story. If these tamahu hadn’t mated with us they they would be extinct by now. We know that is more important to teach the children and show them the proof. Didn’t in the story of a man named jesus, he said the truth will set you free? Stop telling our children these stories as though they were real. If they know the truth who can fool them? We are Amazigh really. The Moors, Muurs, Moabite, Cherokee, Caddo, Greeks, Scots, Brits, Ayran, Russian, Hattian, Japanese,Chinese, Irish, Vietnamese,Moroons of Jamaica, Negas of India, the Druids, Name a place anywhere in our world we were there first, and left evidence and family there still today for us to know that we are all linked together now. The key is melanin. WE ARE ONE TRIBE NOW …. WHERE IS OUR NATION? WE HAVE TO BUILD IT AGAIN. And remember a nation can rise no higher than it’s women. look at the movies Australia and Rabbit Proof Fence should give you an idea the lengths the underdog would go through to steal your blessing COLOR……IT’S EVERYTHING TO THEM. Tanning Salons are making a killing off these tamahu trying to imitate us. ThE ILLUSION OF COLOR. THE BLESSING FROM OUR CREATOR. Cave dwellers had no history all those stories they tell of bravery, knights, Isis, maqick, kingdoms, round tables, valor, honor, humanity, love, couldn’t possibly be talking about the tamahu they weren’t grafted/made for that purpose they were made to destroy created from our lower nature. Huemans are created from the higher nature. IT’S THEIR NATURE TO OPERATE ON A LOW, EVIL, DEMONIC VIBRATION. We know the secret now it’s us. One big family of Brothers and Sisters separated by ignorance. That’s why we’re all mixed up or scattered our stories stolen and told to us how we told it to them, who stole them, because they had no stories to tell of greatness so they made up the biggest lie, that they were human beings and we know they were an experiment on patmos just like the island of Dr. Moreau. What is the law we will not run on all fours,what is the law we will act human. What is the law we will not kill. They know, we do too.
Wow I am a descendant to king james 1 a great granddaughter 13 generation down the line king james 4 etc interesting fact to show our people !!
I have been working on a story and had been trying to come up with a few interesting characters when I asked myself “were there black people in Medieval Scotland?” After a bit of research and a few YouTube vids I ended up here. I have been fascinated with Medieval history for a very long time and had no idea that I would find that yes, there were black people during that time period. Just goes to show you that there is so much more to learn about the histories of people and where they came from.
We all know why the Europeans came to colonize Africa and not anywhere else it is because they did not want an occurrence where the black threatened the European superiority not because we were weak the feared us we introduced medicine their lives were wrenched we made them better but all of that is covered and they turn it around and make us look like the uncivilized
