Lulach II, known as Lulach the Bold (8 April 1074 - 26 July 1146) reigned as King of Scots from 1122 until his death. The second king of the Moray dynasty, Lulach expanded Scottish power deep into England, exploiting the internal chaos experienced by the southern realm during his reign to conquer most of ancient Northumbria. Towards the end of his reign, Lulach was faced with the murder of his son and designated heir Ragnall in 1139, and the subsequent rebellion of his grandson Constantine.
