Malcolm I of Scotland

Máel Coluim mac Domnaill, anglicised Malcolm I (c. 897–954), son of Donald II, became king of Alba in 943 when his cousin Constantine II abdicated into a monastery. In 945 Edmund I of England, after ravaging Cumbria, commended Strathclyde to Malcolm in return for an alliance.

Malcolm later raided Northumbria as far south as the River Tees and campaigned in Moray. He was killed in 954 and buried on Iona. His sons Dub and Kenneth II later reigned.
