Malcolm I King of Scotland ¹⁸⁸³

  General Notes:

Malcolm succeeded to the crown when his cousin Constantine II entered a monastery (943). He annexed Moray to the kingdom for the first time. After driving the Danes from York, the English king Edmund turned Cumbria over to Malcolm, apparently as a fief or seal of alliance. Later, when Norsemen again invaded the land, the Scots sent raids against the English, and in 954 the West Saxon king Eadred reunited the northern counties to his dominions. Malcolm was slain the same year.

He may have supported the establishment of a Danish kingdom of York in the 940s, and he harried the north of England.

He was killed in battle, possibly at Fetteresso, Kincardineshire by rebels from Moray. ¹⁸⁸³
