The son of [[Culen of Scotland|King Culen of Scotland]] (Cuilén mac Iduilb), Constantine succeded his distant relative, [[Kenneth II|King Kenneth II]] (Cináed mac Maíl Coluim) in 995. Constantine apparently led a successful rebellion agaisnt Kenneth due to killing Constantine's father 24 years earlier in 971. Just like his predecessors, during Constantine's reign, the kingdom mainly fought off the [[viking]]s. He also had control over many other kingdoms and greatly expanded Scotland. In 997 two years after becoming king, Constantine was killed in another [[rebellion]] led by his distant relative, [[Kenneth III|Cináed mac Dub]] who immediately became king as Kenneth III. Apparently, Kenneth killed Constantine in revenge of what Constantine's father did to Kenneth's father, [[Dub of Scotland|King Dub]
