104. Malcolm I of Alba King of Scotland, 33G Grandfather, M. Born in 0897 in Scotland. Malcolm I of Alba King of died in Island of Iona in 0954, he was 57. Buried in Isle of Iona, Scotland.
Malcolm became King of Scots in 943, when his predecessor Constantine
II abdicated and retired to a monastery. Malcolm seems to have enjoyed
friendly relations with his English neighbours. The _Anglo-Saxon
Chronicle_ records that King Edmund of England granted Strathclyde to
Malcolm in 945 after ravaging it, and whatever agreement they entered
into was renewed by Edmund's brother and successor Eadred in 946. The
upshot of this agreement seems to have been cooperation with the
English in wresting Northumbria from Viking rule. Malcolm invaded
Northumbria twice; in 950, when the _Scottish Chronicle_ triumphantly
recorded a victory, and 952, when allied forces of Scots, English, and
Britons were defeated. Malcolm was killed by his own subjects in 954,
and succeeded by his second cousin Indulf.
