“ The red, tall, golden-haired one, he will be pleasant to me among them; Scotland will be brimful west and east during the reign of the furious red one."
In 1052, Macbeth received a number of Norman exiles from England in his court, perhaps becoming the first king of Scots to introduce Norman feudalism to Scotland. A careful study of Scottish surnames compared with the Domesday registry reveal that a great number of Norman nobles that accompanied William the Conquerer had in fact already preceeded him in the prior generation and and were already firmly established in their lands and fiefdoms in Scotland, Northern Wales and Northumberland prior to 1066.
In research sources of Nigel Tranter is found accounts that during Macbeth's trip to Rome to petition the Pope for reconciliation on behalf of the Celtic Catholic Church, Macbeth traveled in his Norman [identified as his brother] kinsman's longships. The kinsman in question would have been his brother-in-law Robert FitzRichard Everaux (the Devil). Robert, was the the husband of Macbeth's half sister Harelete, and the father of William the Conquerer. William's mother Arlette (Harelete) was a daughter of Doda (Doada) MacMalcoluim by her first marriage to the French noble Fuhlburt Tonnerre d'Falaise who died in 1017. Doada returned to Scotland where she was married to Findlaech of Moray as his second "Norse/ (Norman)" wife. By Findlaech, Doada bore a son, Maelbaetha MacFindlach (Macbeth), who inherited from his father the Pictish title Mormaer of Moray, and was elected by the Scottish nobles as regent and successor to his uncle Duncan MacMalcouim.
Following the Death of Duncan in 1040, there was some question as to the succession due to the minority of Duncan's son Malcolm. This represents a clear conflict in culture and tradition. Some nobles preferred the Malcolm's brother as regent, while the majority of the nobles preferred Macbeth due to his reputation but also due to his stronger claim to the throne. They argued that MacBeth's regency which bring about a unification of the lineages and lay to rest the various claims of the competing clans. The latter arguement won the day and not only was Macbeth elected as regent, but in the end he was given the title Ard Rí Alban (or High King of Scotland).
As the son of the king's sister, William the Conquer0r was recognized by a contingent of Scottish Nobles (with Pictish heritage) as the unofficial Tánaise Ríg with a legitimate claim to the throne of Scotland through the Pictish laws of Tanistry. In response to the ensuing political unrest in the British Isles resulting from Atheling support for the invasion of Scotland (with aims to restore Malcolm III to the throne of Scotland) William unites the Norman and French nobles to press his claim to for a united England and Scotland by invading England in 1066. (This by virtue of his wife Matilda's claim to the Atheling legacy, as well as his own to the throne of Scotland.)2

In c. 1130, both Malcolm MacHeth (MacEth) and Earl Angus rebelled against King DavidШаблон:Ref! I when he imposed new feudal laws upon the Moraymen's pre-existing ancient kingdom. In the rebellion that followed, Earl Angus was defeatedШаблон:Ref! and slain but Malcolm MacHeth (MacEth) escaped to the isles where he was protected by Somerled, Lord of the Isles. There, Malcolm MacHeth (MacEth), married Lord Somerled's sister, who gave birth to Donald and Gormiath (Blue eyes) MacHeth (MacEth), c. 1130. While scholars believe that Gormiath MacHeth (MacEth) married Harold Maddadarson, Norse Earl of Orkney and Caithness.
The Mackaymen's rebellion continued without interruption from c. 1130 to c. 1134, until Malcolm MacHeth (MacEth) was captured and imprisioned by King David IШаблон:Ref!, at the Roxburgh Castle. Twenty-two years later, his son, Donald MacHeth (MacEth), was capturedШаблон:Ref! in a similar Mackaymen's rebellion hence imprisoned along with his father at the Roxburgh Castle, c. 1156. One year later, Malcolm MacHeth (MacEth) was released from the Roxburgh Castle prison by Malcolm IV and given the title of First Earl of Ross, c. 1157.
This title was later rescinded as punishmentШаблон:Ref! due to the Morymen's rebellious disloyalty to King David I. Then, Malcolm IV: (1) banished the ancestors of the Mackay's from their ancestral home, and (2) gave the Mackay's ancient land to Normans and Saxons who were loyal to the Crown. Here, the Mackay's men, women, and children fled north, while others escaped into Argyll, Islay, and Galloway. Note, according to Scots Peerage c. 1910, the first of the MacEths to settle in the Strathnaver region was Iye MacEth, Chamberlain to Walter de Baltrodi, Bishop of Caithness. This Iye (Aodh) Walter de Baltrodi produced a daughter, Conchar.5
