She was married, according to Fordun, "to a man of great vigour and power, Crinan, abthanus of Dull, and seneschal of the islands." Fordun explains that abthanus is not equivalent to abbas, but means "chief of the thanes"; his function being that of a steward or chamberlain., 576.

↑ Anderson, Allan Orr, Early Sources of Scottish History A.D 500 to 1286, (Edinburgh: Oliver and Boyd, 1922), vol. 1, citing, "Cf. A.U., i, 584, s.a. 1045 (with f.n. and e. of 1045) : 'A battle [was fought] between Scots, among themselves ; and in it fell Cronan, the abbot of Dunkeld.' Similarly also in A.L.C., i, 46, s.a. 1045. Cronan was a more familiar name to Irishmen than Crinan. This Crinan seems to have been the father of king Duncan. See year 1034. Duncan's grandson, Æthelred, also was an abbot of Dunkeld. See year 1093, note. This warfare was doubtless a rebellion raised against Macbeth. It may have been the same attempt against him, in which the Northumbrians took part ; and which the Annals of Durham place in 1046. See E.C., 84.", 584.

I believe that Bethoc has also been added as a spouse to her sister's spouse. She should possibly be removed from Lodvesson-1 and then Lodvesson-1 be merged with Hlodvisson-1.
Sorry in my posting earlier I should have said mother instead of wife. Can we delink the mother from both this profile and the father? If not why not? Let's have a rationale on record if we are going against normal strong sources.
