 Malcolm I to Malcom II 1020   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Malcolm, after putting down an insurrection of the Moray-men under Cellach, their Maormor, or chief, whom he slew, was sometimes thereafter slain, as is supposed, at Ulurn or Auldearn in Moray, by one of these men, in revenge for the death of his chief.

Malcolm was the first who was called Rex Scotia, and might justly claim the be so designated, seeing that he was the first to hold sway over nearly the whole of present Scotland - the only portions where his authority appears to have been seriously disputed being those in which the Danes had established themselves.
