Donald, son of Constantine I, struggled to repel the Norse invasions. He died at Forres, Moray in 900.
--------------------------------------------------
At the time he took the throne, the Danes led by "Sigurd the Mighty" had captured all of the north of Scotland. It's said that this Norseman cut off the head of Melbrigda Tonn and hung it from his saddle. It seems that a tooth from the head punctured his leg while Sigurd was riding. He died of blood poisoning.
