Very little is known about Constantine's life due to his short reign as king of Scotland. He is said to have married, but details of this marriage are not known. The marriage does appear to have been childless.

He became king through the failing tanistry law which still controlled Scottish succession at the time. Much like his predecessors, Constantine was killed in 997, allowing his predecessor's nephew, Kenneth, to claim the throne. He died at Rathinveramon and his place of burial is not known today. Constantine III was the fifth king of Scotland to be murdered in succession. Tanistry ((Scottish Gaelic: Tànaisteachd) was a custom among various Celtic tribes, by which the king or chief of the clan was chosen from among the heads of the septs, or alternatively among all males of the clan in question, and elected by them in full assembly. ...
