Ba é Máel Coluim III (Meán-Ghaeilge: Máel Coluim mac Donnchada; Gaeilge na hAlban: Maol Chaluim mac Dhonnchaidh; c. 1031–13 Samhain 1093) Rí na nAlbanach ó 1058 go 1093. Tugadh an leasainm "Ceann Mòr air (sé sin;. ‘mór-thaoiseach’) níos déanaí.^[1]^[2] Thosaigh réimeas fada 35 bliain an rí roimh thús ré na nAlbanach-Normannach . Ba iad Anraí I Shasana agus Eustace III, Cunta Boulogne a mhic chleamhnais, rud a fhágann gurbh é seanathair mháthartha na Banimpire Matilda, William Adelin agus Matilda I, Ban-Iarla Boulogne, é. Bhí an triúr acu suntasach i bpolaitíocht Shasana le linn an 12ú haois.

Níor shín ríocht Mháel Coluim thar chríoch iomlán na hAlban nua-aimseartha ar fad: bhí go leor de na h-oileáin agus an talamh ó thuaidh den Abhainn Òicealll faoi smacht na Lochlannach, agus ó dheas de Linne Foirthe bhí go leor ríochtaí neamhspleácha nó leath-neamhspleácha ann, lena n-áirítear ríocht Shrath Chluaidh agus <i>Dún Guaire</i>, agus níl sé cinnte cén chumhacht, más ann di ar chor ar bith, a chuir na hAlbannaigh i bhfeidhm ansin nuair a tháinig Máel Coluim i gcoróin.^[3] Throughout his reign Malcolm III led at least five invasions into English territory. One of Malcolm's primary achievements was to secure the position of the lineage that ruled Scotland until the late thirteenth century,</ref> Le linn a réimeas, threoraigh Máel Coluim cúig ionradh ar a laghad isteach i gcríoch Shasana . Ceann de phríomhéachtaí Mháel Coluim ná seasamh na líne a rialaigh Albain go dtí deireadh an tríú haois déag a dhaingniú, cé go bhfuil baint níos mó ag a ról mar bhunaitheoir ríshliocht le bolscaireacht a shliocht ná le stair. Feictear é mar phríomhcharachtar i Macbeth le William Shakespeare, agus rinneadh naomh de Maighréad, a dhara bean chéile, sa tríú haois déag.

↑ Burton, Vol. 1, p. 350, states: "Malcolm the son of Duncan is known as Malcolm III, but still better perhaps by his characteristic name of Canmore, said to come from the Celtic "Cenn Mór", meaning "great chief"". It has also been argued recently that the real "Malcolm Canmore" was his great-grandson Malcolm IV of Scotland, who is given this name in the contemporary notice of his death.
