Everything about M El Coluim I Of Strathclyde totally explained
Máel Coluim I of Strathclyde was ruler of the
Kingdom of Strathclyde, the probable son of one of his predecessor King
Dyfnwal III of Strathclyde; he was brother of
Amdarch, who possibly held the throne in 971.
Máel Coluim was king of the Cumbrians by
973, the year for which
Florence of Worcester related the Strathclyde king had met King
Edgar of England at
Chester. Máel Coluim was one of eight kings who allegedly met Edgar and rowed his boat on the
River Dee (Afon Dyfrdwy). Another of the kings supposedly present was king
Kenneth II of Scotland, and a "Maccus, king of very many islands"; of the eight kings listed, only these three Scotland-related kings have their kingdoms named.
Máel Coluim I's existence is confirmed by one other source. The Irish annals give Máel Coluim's father as Dyfnwal, and a death date of
997. The
Annals of Ulster reported his obituary as
Mael Coluim m. Domnaill, ri Bretan Tuaiscirt, moritur (for example "Máel Coluim, son of Dyfnwal, King of the Britons of the North, dies"). The father is presumed to be King
Dyfnwal III of Strathclyde, making
Amdarch of Strathclyde his brother.
