  === Life Sketch ===
  This daughter of Scotland's true name is not known. She was the daughter of Crinan the Thane, Mormaer of Atholl and Bethóc, daughter of Máel Coluim mac Cináeda, King of Scots. Though the name of her husband is not known, she is known to be the mother of Moddan, Earl of Caithness. Based upon the marriage dates for her parents, between 1000 and 1008, and the death of her own son in battle in 1040, she was probably born no later than 1010.
