Malcolm IV of Scotland

Malcolm IV (1141–1165), the Maiden, succeeded his grandfather David I and was inaugurated at Scone in May 1153 aged twelve. In 1157 he did homage to Henry II of England and surrendered Cumbria and Northumbria in return for the earldom of Huntingdon.

He faced revolts by his earls, campaigned in Galloway and Moray, and in 1164 saw Somerled of Argyll killed at Renfrew. He died unmarried at Jedburgh in 1165 aged twenty-four.
