Web Notes notes for Malcolm I King Of Alba
Alba = Albany, Scotland North Of Forth & Clyde
From "Debrett's Kings and Queens of Britain" by David Williamson, ISBN 0-86350-101-X, p. 25:
King Edmund I of England was a warrior king who ravaged Strathclyde, which he ceded to Malcolm I, King of Scots, in order to secure him as an ally.

The following is taken from an Internet posting of Michael R. Davidson of Edinburgh. Scotland, on 23 Oct 1995:
Malcolm I (Mael Coluim mac Domnall) 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.
