Gille Coemgáin or Gillecomgan was the King or Mormaer of Moray, a semi-autonomous kingdom centred on Inverness that stretched across the north of Scotland. Unlike his two predecessors, he is not called King of Scotland in his death notice, but merely Mormaer. This has led to some speculation that he was never actually the ruler of Moray, but merely a subordinate of Mac Bethad mac Findláich. (Hudson p. 136). Gille Coemgáin and Gruoch were the parents of Lulach, a future King of Scotland, fostered by Mac Bethad, whom he succeeded.

  • Gille Coemgáin or Gillecomgan was the King or Mormaer of Moray, a semi-autonomous kingdom centred on Inverness that stretched across the north of Scotland. Unlike his two predecessors, he is not called King of Scotland in his death notice, but merely Mormaer. This has led to some speculation that he was never actually the ruler of Moray, but merely a subordinate of Mac Bethad mac Findláich. (Hudson p. 136). In 1020, he participated in the killing of his uncle Findláech, the father of MacBeth. The Annals of Ulster (s.a. 1032) reports that Gille Coemgáin was burned to death, together with 50 of his men. The perpetrators are not mentioned in any sources. From circumstances, two candidates have been proposed to have led the atrocity: Malcolm II of Scotland or Mac Bethad, who then became the only ruler of Moray. Both men were Gille Coemgáin's cousin, and both had reason to want him dead.Gille Coemgáin is believed to have killed his cousin Dúngal mac Cináeda, the younger brother of Malcolm II, in 999. This could be a motive, but 33 years is a long time to wait for retaliation. Likewise, Gille Coemgáin participated in the death of Mac Bethad's father, his death at Mac Bethad's hands may also have been an act of retaliation; however, this is not documented. Mac Bethad gained more from Gille Coemgáin's death for not only did he become the solitary ruler of Moray, he also married Gruoch, Gille Coemgáin's widow. The marriage may have been either as a conquered enemy widow or a widow of an ally and kinsman, depending on who was responsible for the murder. Both scenarios are entirely credible, knowing archaic medieval customs – nothing exculpatory can be concluded from the marriage, whereas the adoption of the stepson may be a weightier indication. Gille Coemgáin and Gruoch were the parents of Lulach, a future King of Scotland, fostered by Mac Bethad, whom he succeeded. (en)
  • Gillacomgain (gaélique : Gille Coemgáin Máil Brigti), mormaer de Moray de 1029 à 1032. Gillacomgain est le fils de Maelbrigte MacRory et le frère de Malcolm avec lequel il est impliqué dans le meurtre de leur oncle Findláech MacRory, mormaer de Moray de 990 à 1020. Il succède à son frère en 1029 et épouse Gruoch, une petite-fille du roi d'Écosse Kenneth III mac Duff. Selon les Annales d'Ulster, en 1032, il est brulé vif avec 50 personnes de sa suite dans l'incendie de sa résidence par ordre du roi Malcolm II mac Kenneth ou plus vraisemblablement de Mac Bethad (passé à la postérité sous le nom de Macbeth), le fils de Findláech MacRory, qui devient à son tour mormaer de Moray et épouse sa veuve Gruoch . Son fils Lulach mac Gillacomgain succédera à son beau-père Mac Bethad comme éphémère roi d'Écosse et mormaer de Moray. (fr)
  • Gilla Coemgáin atau Gillecomgan merupakan seorang Raja atau Mormaer di Moray, kerajaan semi-otonom yang berpusat di Inverness yang membentang di Skotlandia utara. Tidak seperti dua pendahulunya, ia tidak disebut Raja Skotlandia di pemberitahuan kematiannya, tetapi hanya Mormaer. Hal ini telah menyebabkan beberapa spekulasi bahwa ia tidak pernah menjadi penguasa Moray yang sesungguhnya, melainkan hanya bawahan Mac Bethad mac Findláich (Macbeth). (Hudson hal. 136). Pada tahun 1020, ia berpartisipasi di dalam pembunuhan pamandanya, Findláech. Babad Ulster (s.a. 1032) melaporkan bahwa Gille Coemgáin dibakar sampai mati, bersama dengan 50 orang anak buahnya. Pelakunya tidak disebutkan di dalam sumber-sumber. Dari situasi pada saat itu, ada dua orang terdakwa yang memimpin tindakan kejam tersebut: Máel Coluim III atau sepupu Gille Coemgáin, Mac Bethad, yang kemudian menjadi penguasa tunggal Moray. Mac Bethad dikabarkan menikahi janda Gille Coemgáin, Gruoch - baik sebagai janda musuh yang ditaklukkan atau janda dari sekutu dan kerabat, tergantung pada siapa yang bertanggung jawab atas pembunuhan itu. Kedua skenario yang sepenuhnya kredibel, dipandang dari adat di abad pertengahan kuno - tidak ada yang membuktikan kebenarannya yang dapat disimpulkan dari pernikahan tersebut, sedangkan adopsi anak tiri mungkin indikasinya lebih berat. Gille Coemgáin adalah ayah Lughlagh, calon Raja Skotlandia, yang dibina oleh Mac Bethad, yang digantikannya. (in)
