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 think the biggest problem with the west is they think they can wipe out a civilization by hiding for the rest of the world. Talking about Civilization, we all know that the first 4 dynasties of Egypt were totally blacks, and also the Greeks didn’t create or invented Mathematics, Medicine, philosophy..no they didn’t they learnt from the Egyptians at that time. now ask your self one question; Did they Greek build the Pyramids in Egypt. no. are the pyramids a proof of greatness Mathematician, physicians. come on, let’s be right with ourselves. Greeks even have Ceremonies that are Similars with the Egyptians. NOw I don’t mean to say the Celt culture was black, but genetically and empirically there are proof that shown they were Africans that was involved in the structure of this society.. like we have today. Obama is black President in the most powerful western country but that doesnt mean that werstern civilization was dominated by Africans. no. I do have respect and appreciate every single Civilization, but you cannot hide one also if it was existed..it is nothing about Race or ethnicity, The blacks like the white, Persians, Mongols used to lead the world. you can’t erase that from world history.. it is pathetic.
Awwwhhh….Wrath, Po lili’l tink-tink. You gotta open your eyes and clean out your ears.

and man went from Africa to everywhere on this earth
Only a Fool would educate racial ignorance. Let them believe your a Fool but never give them fuel. Know that in this Modern society, Intelligence is a Liability & the Stupiud rule. Educate eachother. & your children about our Royalty. & let them lead us.
Putting down the sword of self righteousness could mean giving back all that was taken as a consequence of past actions, maybe the exposure of the truth is now too enormous to concede which will undoubtedly have far reaching ramifications.
They say WAR.
This is rather an interesting site, which has led me to ask a question. In Scottish history, or myth, is there any story of a white woman storming a castle, followed by her supporters, black people? I ask because I do know Scotland have their women warriors.
