... that despite his defeat at the battle of Pitgaveny, both of Duncan's sons would later rule Scotland? Source: Cannon & Crowcroft 2015 for Malcolm, and Duncan 2004 for Donald.
ALT1: ... that after defeating Duncan at the battle of Pitgaveny, Macbeth would later fight both Duncan's father and son? Source: Broun 2004b for fighting Crinan, and Cannon & Crowcroft 2015 for fighting Malcolm.
Overall: Created within seven days of nomination, long enough, and appropriately cited. No apparent copyright violations. Hook is short and reasonably interesting. The main hook seems better than ALT1. AGF on hook citations as one source is online but requires membership and the other appears not available online. QPQ completed.
