Alexander I or Alaxandair mac Maíl Coluim (Modern Gaelic: Alasdair mac Mhaol Chaluim) (c. 1078 23 April 1124), called "The Fierce",[1] King of the Scots or King of Alba, was the fourth son of Máel Coluim mac Donnchada by his wife Margaret of Wessex, grandniece of Edward the Confessor. He was named for Pope Alexander II. Alexander was his unmarried brother Edgar's heir, perhaps throughout his reign, and certainly by 1104 when he was the senior layman present at the examination of the remains of Saint Cuthbert at Durham prior to their reinterrment. He held lands in Scotland north of the Forth and in Lothian. On the death of Edgar in 1107 he succeeded to the Scottish crown; but, in accordance with Edgar's instructions, their brother David was granted an appanage in southern Scotland. Edgar's will granted David the lands of the former kingdom of Strathclyde or Cumbria, and this was apparently agreed in advance by Edgar, Alexander, David and their brother-in-law Henry I of England. However, in 1113, perhaps at Henry's instigation, and with the support of his Anglo-Norman, David demanded, and received, additional lands in Lothian along the Upper Tweed and Teviot.
