[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 King William I.
[3] Máel Coluim is known to have granted the church of Moulin to the Benedictine monks of Dunfermline Abbey.
After his first marriage, he married Hextilda, the daughter of Uhtred of Tynedale, an Anglo-Saxon baron.
[5] However, Hextilda had been married to Richard Comyn who was still alive well after Henry was born—so it is unlikely she was his mother.
