Some Notable Gordon Predecessors: Lulach "the Unfortunate"/"the Foolish"

Lulach 'Tairbith' mac Gille Comgáin, King of Scots (mac Gille Coemgáin)
(1032-1058) - Strathbogie.

(Step son of Macbeth)

Lulach's Stone, Aberdeenshire.

Lulach was the son of Gruoch of Scotland, from her first marriage to Gille Coemgáin, Mormaer of Moray, and thus the stepson of Macbeth (Mac Bethad mac Findlaích). Following the death in battle of Macbeth in 1057, the king's followers placed Lulach on the throne. Lulach ruled only for a few months before being assassinated and succeeded by Malcolm III (Máel Coluim mac Donnchada).
