Máel Coluim, Earl of Atholl
- Máel Coluim, Earl of Atholl
-
Máel Coluim of Atholl was Mormaer of Atholl between 1153/9 and the 1190s.[1]
The Chronicle of Holyrood tells us that in 1186 Máel Coluim had an outlaw called Adam mac Domnaill killed at the altar of a church in Coupar, and burned 58 of his associates inside the church.[2] It is possible that this was a son of Domnall mac Uilleim, who claimed the Scottish throne and was revolting against the French-speaking king William I.[3]
Máel Coluim was a patron of foreign religious orders, and is known to have granted the church of Moulin to the Benedictine monks of Dunfermline Abbey.[4]
He married Hextilda, the daughter of Uchtred Waltheofsson, an Anglo-Saxon baron of Tynedale. He named his son and successor Henry, perhaps in honor of King Henry II of England.[5]
