The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle gives no information bout MacBeth's mother. There is a genealogical table in the back of one of the editions of the ASC (probably Whitelock's edition), but these tables are not actually a part of the ASC. They were put there as an appendix (using other sources in addition to the ASC) for purposes of illustration. Also, note that a question mark was put on the alleged daughter of Kenneth who was supposedly Macbeth's mother. In fact, there appears to be no good evidence that Macbbeth was a grandson of Kenneth.
Macbeth was the son of Findlaech, who was referred to as king of "Alba" (i.e. Scotland) in the contemporary Irish annals. His wife was Gruoch (daughter of Boete son of Kenneth), who had previously been married to Macbeth's first cousin Gilla Coemghin, by whom she had Lulach, Macbeth's successor as king of Scotland. The "sons of Kenneth" who appear in the records during this confused period are hard to sort out, since there is often no way to be sure whether they were sons of Kenneth II or of Kenneth III. This is the case with Macbeth's father-in-law Boete, who is variously listed as a son of Kenneth II or Kenneth III. It is difficult to be certain which is correct. See Anderson's "Early Sources of Scottish History", which is always an excellent source to consyule regarding early medieval Scottish history and genealogy. [Ref: Stewart Baldwin SGM 3/12/1997]
