Constantine III od Škotske

Constantine, sin Cuiléna (srednjovjekovni gelski: Causantín mac Cuiléin; moderni gelski: Còiseam mac Chailein), danas u većini kraljevskih popisa poznat kao Constantine III,[1] (prije 971–997) bio je kralj Škotske od 995. do smrti. Bio je sin škotskog kralja Cuiléna (Cuilén mac Iduilb).[2] Kroničar John od Forduna za njega koristi latinsko ime Constantinus Calvus, [3] što se prevodi kao Constantine Ćelavi.

Pripadao je Kući Alpin, prvoj dinastiji škotskih kraljeva podijeljenoj u dvije loze - potomke Caustantina mac Cinaede i potomke njegovog brata Aeda mac Cinaede - čiji su se predstavnici redovno izmijenjivali na prijestolju. Constantine je pripadao potonjoj lozi. Prema navodima Johna od Forduna, njegov prethodnik Kenneth II je pokušao prekinuti tu tradiciju i krunu neposredno osigurati svojim sinovima. Kenneth II je 995. ubijen; kronike ne navode počinitelja, iako je John od Forduna opisao kako je Constantine sudjelovao u zavjeri. Sam Constantine je poginuo 997. u događaju koji kronike nazivaju "bitka među Škotima". S njim je izumrla Aedova loza, a naslijedio ga je Kenneth III sin kralja Duba, koji je odmah započeo dugogodišnji sukob s bratom Malcolmom II.

Izvori uredi

  1. Sve do viktorijanskog doba se Constantine, sin Áedov navodio kao "Constantine III od Škotske", a ovaj Constantine kao "Constantine IV". Tada su historičari ličnost po imenu Caustantín od Pikta, prethodno nazivanog kao "Constantine I od Škotske", izbrisali sa tradicionalnog popisa škotskih kraljeva pa je ovaj Constantine postao "Constantine III".
