Web Notes notes for Malcolm II King Of Alba
Conquered Lothian 1018. Mortally wounded by rival branches of royal house in 1034.
From the book, "Scotland: a Concise History" revised edition, by Fitzroy Maclean, 1993, page 22:
It was not until 1018 that Malcolm II's victory over the Angles at Carham finally brought the Lothians under Scottish rule.

The following is taken from an Internet posting of Michael R. Davidson of Edinburgh. Scotland, on 23 Oct 1995:
Malcolm II (Mael Coluim mac Cinaed) Malcolm became king of Scots in 1005, after killing his cousin and predecessor Kenneth son of Dub in a battle. He led an attack on Durham, England in 1006, but was decisively defeated after the siege was broken. The most important event of his reign was probably the battle of Carham, which occurred in either 1016 or 1018. Malcolm led an invasion
of Northumbria, and his victory pushed the Scottish realm well into traditional English territories. An important consequence of the battle was the death of Owen, the last native king of Strathclyde, which, from this point on, was part of the kingdom of the Scots. A notable external event was Malcolm's meeting with king Canute of England in 1031. Malcolm had no sons, but he apparently wanted his descendants to rule the Scots, so he tried to revolutionize succession practices by arranging to have one of his grandsons succeed him. To this end, he had competing dynasts of the house of Alpin murdered in the early 1030's. Upon his death on 25 November, 1034, he was succeeded by his grandson Duncan.
