MALCOMB I...Malcomb I of Scotland - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: (M�el Coluim mac Domnaill), the son of Donald I of Scotland, became the King of Scotland in 942 or 943 after his cousin King Constantine II of Scotland abdicated and became a monk. Malcolm was a prince of great abilities and prudence, and Edmund I of England courted his alliance by ceding Cumbria, the consisting of Cumberland and part of Westmorland, to him, in the year 945, on condition that he would defend that northern county, and become an ally of Edmund. This, therefore, required Scotland to send military support if England was attacked by either the Danes of Northumbria or the Norwegians of Ireland. The alliance between England and Scotland remained after the death of both kings. Edred of England, the brother and successor of Edmund, accordingly applied for, and obtained, the aid of Malcolm against Anlaf, king of Northumberland, whose country, according to the barbarous practice of the times, he wasted, and carried off the people with their cattle. Later, when Norsemen again invaded the land, the Scots sent raids against the English and, in 954, Edred reunited the northern counties to his dominions. In this same year, after putting down an insurrection of the Moray-men under Cellach, their Maormor (chief), whom he killed, Malcolm was slain, probably at Ulurn or Auldearn in Moray, by one of these men, in revenge for the death of his chief. He was buried on the Isle of Iona. At some point in his life, he married. But as was the case with many monarchs in this period, the details are no longer known. A son from this marriage would later succeed to the throne as Kenneth II of Scotland.
KENNETH II...Kenneth II of Scotland - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Kenneth II (Cin�ed mac M�el Coluim), son of Malcolm I, king of Scotland, succeeded Culen, son of Indulf, who had been slain by the Britons of Strathclyde in 971 in Lothian. He did not established himself as sole king until he killed Culen's brother Amla�b in 977, after which he ruled all of Scotland. His strength, like that of the other kings of his branch of the house of Kenneth MacAlpin lay chiefly north of the Tay. Kenneth began his reign by ravaging the British kingdom, but he lost a large part of his force on the river Cornag. Soon afterwards he attacked Eadulf, earl of the northern half of Northumbria, and ravaged the whole of his territory. He fortified the fords of the Forth as a defence against the Britons and again invaded Northumbria, carrying off the earl's son. About this time he gave the city of Brechin to the church. According to the English chroniclers, Kenneth paid homage to King Edgar for the cession of Lothian, but these statements are probably due to the controversy as to the position of Scotland. The mormaers, or chiefs, of Kenneth were engaged throughout his reign in a contest with Sigurd the Norwegian, earl of Orkney, for the possession of Caithness and the northern district of Scotland as far south as the Spey. In this struggle the Scots attained no permanent success. At some point in his life, Malcolm married, but the details are scanty. His wife was said to have been a Princess of Leinster. The marriage produced two sons, including the future Malcolm II and possibly a daughter, Donada. However, Donada is also said to have been the daughter of Malcolm II. In 995 Kenneth died at Fettercairn in the Mearns. According to some accounts , he was slain treacherously by his own subjects, through the intrigue of Finvela, daughter of the Earl of Angus. He was buried on the Isle of Iona.
MALCOLM II...Malcolm II King of Scotland, reigned 1005-1034 - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Malcolm II of Scotland (M�el Coluim mac Cin�eda) (c. 954 - November 25, 1034) was King of Scotland (Alba) from 1005 to 1034. He was the son of King Kenneth II and first cousin of his predecessor, King Kenneth III (Cin�ed mac Duib), who was murdered by Malcolm at the Battle of Monzievaird in 1005. He was the last king of the House of Alpin. His rule was contested for ten years during the reign of Kenneth III but Malcolm finally gained the throne after Kenneth's death. It appears that he only ruled part of Scotland during his reign, in opposition to leaders from Moray such as Findl�ech mac Ruadr� (d. 1020, probably father of Macbeth), and M�el Coluim mac M�el Brigte (d. 1029), both of whom were also called kings of Alba (and therefore Scotland) in the Irish annals, though neither are called kings of Scotland in modern texts. His eldest daughter, Bethoc/Beatrice, married the Abbot of Dunkeld and their son became Duncan I(c.1010-1040), who succeeded Malcolm upon his death in 1034.
BETHOC/BEATRICE...died 1045, married CRONAN Abbot Of Dunkeld. Her parents were Malcolm II and Unk.Daughter Of Tryggvason.
DUNCAN I Of SCOTS...died August 14, 1040 at Glamis castle, reputed to be the place where Macbeth, Thane of Glamis, murdered King Duncan in 1040. A sword and a shirt of mail, which supposedly belonged to Macbeth, are on view in one of the rooms at the castle. Duncan's wife was Sybilla and their son was King Malcomb III Canmore. Duncan does appear to have been a weak ruler. He is chiefly known through his connection with Macbeth, which has been immortalized by Shakespeare. Duncan became king of the Scots in succession to his maternal grandfather, Malcolm II, in 1034, having previously as rex Cumbrorum ruled in Strathclyde. His accession was "the first example of inheritance of the Scottish throne in the direct line." His parents were Cronan Abbot Of Dunkeld and Beatrice who died 1045. Two of Duncan's sons, Malcolm III Canmore and Donald Bane, were afterwards kings of the Scots. It has been said that Malcolm was illegitimate.

KING MALCOMB III CANMORE...b. c1031, d. November 13, 1093 fighting at the Castle of Alnwick in Northumbria, married to Margaret ATHELING, daughter of Edward The Outlaw and his wife, Agatha. Edward the Outlaw's line has been traced to CERDIC, First King of Wessex. The line continues with Malcomb and Margaret's daughter Matilda Of Scotland, sister of King David. There was conflict between Malcomb Canmore and the aggressive Normans, under William the Conquerer, which determined the direction taken by Scottish culture in the last years of the 11th century. At that time, Christianity did exist in Scotland in the form of the Celtic Church, but it took the form of converted sun-worship pagan rituals. During his reign Scotland fell under the influence of England. The Lowlands of Scotland started speaking an early Scots dialect and adopting Anglo-Saxon habits. Malcolm unsuccessfully tried to stop this influence by having wars with the Norman kings of England after 1066. In 1072 he was forced to give on oath of subservience to William I of England. His war against William II of England in 1093 only led to the loss of Scottish territory to England. Malcolm died on November of the same year in an ambush during a battle against William's army. His eldest Margaretson son, Edward, also died in that ambush. Margaret, on learning of the death of her husband and her eldest son, is reported to have died thanking God for sending such tragedies to strengthen her soul. Her saintliness was recognized by the church, and she was canonized in 1251.
DAVID I...born 1084, king of Scotland, the youngest son of Malcolm Canmore and of Saint Margaret, died in Carlisle May 24, 1153. This picture, from the charter of Kelso Abbey, bears portraits of its founder David I and his heir and grandson Malcolm. David married in 1113 Matilda, daughter and heiress of Waltheof, Earl of Northumbria, and thus gained possession of the earldom of Huntingdon. David's son, Henry, had predeceased him, and he was succeeded by his grandsons: Malcolm IV (1153�65) and then William I (1165�1214). King David I transformed Scotland by his strong rule and Norman innovations. Educated in England, he established English feudalism and law in the towns. The many monasteries, schools, and parish churches that he erected greatly strengthened the Scottish church. Owing to the premature death of his son, he left his crown to his grandson, young "Malcolm the Maiden", who died too early to make much of a lasting mark on the country.
HENRY of Scotland, 3rd Earl of Huntingdon (1114-1152) was a Scottish prince and English peer. He was the son of King David I and Maud, 2nd Countess of Huntingdon. He had three sons, two of whom became King of Scotland, and a third whose descendents were to prove critical in the later days of the Scottish royal house. His eldest son became King of Scotland as Malcolm IV in 1153. Henry's second son became king in 1165 on the death of his brother, reigning as William I. Both in their turn inherited the title of Earl of Huntingdon. His third son, David also became Earl of Huntingdon. It is from the 8th Earl that all Kings of Scotland after Margaret, Maid of Norway claim descent. On Henry's death his title passed to his half-brother Simon of St Liz.
MALCOLM IV...b. c1141, d. Dec. 9, 1165, succeeded at the age of eleven. A boy king, known as Malcolm the Maiden, he was no match for either Henry II of England or his own vassals. He resigned his grandfather�s claims to northern England and, as required, paid homage to Henry for the earldom of Huntingdon. In Scotland the earls extended their power until they ruled as independent chieftains. He died unmarried and childless in 1165, but is entered here, as he was pictured with his father in the above photo.
MATILDA Of SCOTLAND...b. 1079 Dunfernline, Scotland, only daughter of Malcomb III and Saint Margaret, d. May 01, 1118 London, England, married on November 11, 1100 in Westminster Abbey, London, England, to King Henry I, (Henry BEAUCLERK), who was a son of William the Conquerer and Matilda Of Flanders, a descendant of CHARLEMAGNE. Henry ascended the throne as Henry I on Aug. 2, 1100. The CLAYTON/HAYS line, descends from this same line through another branch which will be discussed later. For now, this line continues with Henry I & Matilda's daughter Matilda/Maud Marshel.
MATILDA/MAUD MARSHEL...b. 1104, d. September 10, 1167. Annah Robinson Watson, "A royal lineage : Alfred the Great, 901-1901" printed in Richmond, Va.: Whittet & Shepperson, printers, 1901, page 24 - To Matilda was left by will of her father, Henry I of England, all his possesions. However, the throne was usurped by her cousin Stephen. When Stephen died, the throne went to Matilda's son Henry II. She was the ggggranddaughter of Richard I, Duke of Normandy according to Winona Stevens Jones' book "Our royal ancestors", Lexington, Ky.,: Transylvania Print. Co., 1971. Geoffrey PLANTAGENET married Matilda, the daughter of Henry I of England and widow of Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor. The marriage in 1128 was meant to seal a peace between England/Normandy and Anjou. She was eleven years older than Geoffrey, and their marriage was a stormy one, but she survived him. Their eldest son became Henry II of England.

HENRY II...was born March 05, 1132/33 Le Mans, Anjou, France, d. July 06, 1189 Chinon Castle, France, married May 18, 1152 in Bordeaux Cathedral to Eleanor Of Aquitaine b. 1122, d. 1204. Eleanor of Aquitaine was one of the most significant historical figures of the middle ages. In 1137, at the age of fifteen, she inherited the duchy of Aquitaine, which comprised nearly one-third of France; this ensured her a unique existence as a politically powerful woman of the middle ages. By the time of her death in 1204, she was a former queen of France functioning as regent queen of England, and had firmly established the blood line of the future English monarchy through her children. Her lifelong patronage of the troubadour music of her home region directly resulted in the introduction of this oldest known genre of medieval secular music throughout France, and to a lesser extent, the Norman court of England. In addition, she indirectly influenced the formation of the next influentional secular genre, the music of the trouveres. Eleanor's grandfather, William IX of Aquitaine, was in fact the first known toubadour in history. He was the first influential supporter of this aristocratic music, which had probably been developing in the southern regions of France for some time. Eleanor's father, William X, continued to patronize the art and poetry of the troubadours, and instilled a love for the music in his daughter. Source: http://www.vanderbilt.edu/Blair/Courses/MUSL242/johnspa1.htm. She was divorced from her first husband, King Louis VII (1121-1180) in 1152. With her husband King Henry II, she had five sons and three daughters, including Richard the Lionheart and King of England John Lackland.
KING JOHN LACKLAND...was b. December 24, 1167 Beaumont Palace near Oxford, England, d. 1215 Newark Castle, Nottinghamshire, buried in a tomb in Worcester Cathedral; married Isabella TALLEFER August 24, 1200 Angouleme Bordeaux, France. He was called "cruel, selfish, and indolent" by Annah Robinson Watson in her book "A royal lineage : Alfred the Great, 901-1901" published in Richmond, Va.: Whittet & Shepperson, printers, 1901. Of Isabella, Ms. Watson wrote: "She was beautiful and correspondingly vain." Another item from this book: "The barons of the relm, driven to desparation by the outrages perpetuated by the king, came together at Runnymede, June 19, 1215, and wrested from him Magna Charta, the declaration by which has ever since been protected the personal liberty and property of all free men. Their son was Henry III.
HENRY III...was born October 01, 1207 Winchester, England, d. 1272 buried Westminster Abbey; married Eleanor Of Provence January 14, 1235/36 Canterbury Cathedral, Kent, England. Born in Aix-en-Provence, she was the daughter of Raymond Berengar V, Count of Provence (1198-1245) and Beatrice of Savoy (1206-1266), the daughter of Tomasso, Count of Savoy. Eleanor's sister, Marguerite (1221-1295), married Louis IX, King of France and became Queen of France. When she was 13 years old, Eleanor was married to Henry III, King of England (1207-1272) in January 1236. She had never seen him prior to the wedding at Canterbury Cathedral and had never set foot in his impoverished kingdom. The dynastic match became a true partnership, but her first year in London the despised foreign queen in her barge on the Thames was threatened by a London mob and fled to the bishop of London's palace for safety. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_of_Provence: Margaret Howell, Eleanor of Provence: Queenship in Thirteenth-century England 1997. Annah Robinson Watson wrote about her: "Eleanor of Provence was the daughter of Raymond, count of Berenger, and his wife, Lady Beatrix (dau. of Thomas, count of Savoy)." Noted for her intelligence, Eleanor was a writer of graceful verse. Described as beautiful, but extravagant and despotic, Eleanor was not popular with her subjects. Two of her sons were Edward Longshanks b. June 17, 1239 and Edmund Plantagenet b. January 16, 1243/44.
EDWARD LONGSHANKS...b. June 17, 1239 Westminster, Middlesex, England, d. July 07, 1307 Carlisle, Scotland, buried Westminster Abbey; m. Eleanor Of Castile October 31, 1254 in Las Huelgas, Spain. He is the English king portrayed in the movie, Braveheart. Known as "Longshanks" and the "Hammer of the Scots", he achieved fame as the monarch who conquered Wales and who kept Scotland under English domination. He reigned from 1272 to 1307, ascending the throne of England on November 21, 1272 after the death of his father, King Henry III of England. Edward married twice. His first marriage, to Eleanor of Castile, produced sixteen children, and her death in 1290 affected Edward deeply. He displayed his grief by erecting the Eleanor crosses, one at each place where her funeral cortege stopped for the night. His second marriage � to Marguerite of France, the daughter of King Philippe III of France � produced a further three children. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_I_of_England. There are many good on-line sources of information regarding him and his family, including his daughter Joan of Acres.
JOAN Of Acres PLANTAGENET...b. 1272 Acre (Akko), Israel, d. April 23, 1307, buried Clare Priory, Suffolk, England; married May 02, 1290 in Westminster Abbey, London, England to Gilbert de CLARE b.

From the book "History and genealogy of the Pearsall family in England and America" printed in San Francisco: H.S. Crocker, 1928, 1915 pgs., and written by Clarence E. Pearsall, his line is traced far back in time through the 12th century. "He had a grant in 1303, because he was with the King in his service in Scotland; in 1305 he was aquitted of a debt spent buying armour for his journey to Gascony, on consideration of his good service there; and in 1306, as Justice of North Wales, he arranged for ships for the King's last journey to Scotland."

Source - Facts, Fiction, Folklore and Fakelore complied by James E. Bellarts 1991 (FHC Salt Lake City) page 50 - Robert Clayton b. c1030 was known as a companion of William the Conqueror and rewarded with the gift of Manor of Clayton in Lancashire. This line supposedly goes back to Louis I "The Gentle, The Pious" King of the Franks, Holy Roman Emperor 814-840, fifth child and third son of Charlemagne; b. 778 Casseneuil, France; as the only surviving son he succeded his father; died June 20, 840, buried at Metz. He married Ermengarde (Irmengarde); m 2nd 2/819 to Judith of Bavaria, daughter of Welf, Duke of Bavaria.
Tynemouth Castle (pictured above, birthplace of Mary Thompson Clayton) was originally a Norman earth ringwork fortress dated from the 7th century, founded by earl Robert de Mowbray - a name found in early WARNER lineage. The actual fortified manor was built in 1296. Click here for another good photo of the castle. King Malcomb III was originally buried there, but his body was later moved to Dunfermline Abbey in Scotland.ELIZABETH CLAYTON...was born c1761, d. before July 1828; married JAMES HAYS April 18, 1782 in Charlotte Co., VA. James Hays was the son of Nicholas Hays and his wife Alice Hunter. We are 99% sure that their son was the John Hays mentioned in his father's will written July 19th 1828 and recorded in Will Book 2 pages 626-7 in Jefferson Co., TN. Their son, John W. HAYS married Lydia SIMS June 07, 1813 in Jefferson Co., TN. Lydia, too, was supposedly related to "royal" English lines back to Henry De Beaufort, son of John Of Gaunt to Edward III to Edward II to Edward Longshanks and on up this same line from which the CLAYTON family descended. (See my HAYS/SIMS webpage for more on their descendants.)
