House of Moray
Although a few details of earlier queens consort are known – for example, Duncan I was married to a woman named in one source as Suthen – the first queen about whom much is known is Gruoch, a daughter of Boite mac Cináeda, himself a son of either Kenneth II or Kenneth III. Her son was Lulach; the mother of Máel Snechtai of Moray, Lulach's son, was still alive in 1078, when she was seized by Malcolm III Long-neck, but nothing else is known of her, not even if she and Lulach were married.

Some shattered dishes underneath a pine,
The playthings in the playhouse of the children.
Weep for what little things could make them glad.”

But only a belilaced cellar hole,”
