In 1010, at the Battle of Barrie, the Danish General Camus
was despatched to Valhalla by a Chatti warrior. Malcolm II pushed
his hand into Camus and drew three bloody fingers down the warrior's
shield. "Camus Slayer" became his name. In 1018 Malcolm
won Lothian in the Battle of Chathem and let the lands of Keth
to Camus Slayer. His descendants took the area's name as their
own. The Keiths remember their progenitor with three lines down
the chief's coat of arms.
