The books of Morgan Llywelyn are FICTION, and as such, have no value
whatsoever as a source for genealogy. I do not recall ever seeing a
claim (prior to the above) that Malcolm II married a daughter of
Brian, and I suspect that this supposed daughter is nothing more than
literary licence on the part of the author.
