King of Scotland. Born Máel Coluim I Mac Domnaill, he ascended the throne (943) after the abdication of his cousin Constantine who had opted for the monastic life. Both the Annals of Ulster and The Chronicles of Alba report that his reign, which lasted until 954, was characterized by continuous struggles and fragile alliances with England as well as battles to stem the frequent invasion attempts by the Gaels and Norwegians. Malcolm I is also a character from legends and from Berchan's prophecy. However, according to Ulster it is almost certain that he was killed near Cinn Chàrdainn (Kincardine-on-Forth) during a fight with the warriors of Erik I the Viking.
