p. 224. l
In the same year Somerled, under-king of Argyle, rose
against his natural lord king Malcolm ; and with a great
army of Irish landed at Renfrew, and there was slain by a
few men of his own province. 2
In the same year died Herbert, bishop of Glasgow ; and
to him succeeded Engelram, the king's chancellor, and was
consecrated by Pope Alexander at the city of Sens, 3
although
the messengers of Roger, archbishop of York, very greatly
opposed it.

WILLIAM OF NEWBURGH, HISTORIA RERUM ANGLICARUM,
IN CHRONICLES OF STEPHEN, ETC., VOL. I, PP. 147-148. 4
Of the passing of Malcolm, most pious king of the Scots.
About this time the most Christian king of the Scots, Malcolm,
of whom we have made mention, as was fitting, in the
preceding book, upon Christ's summons put off the man, to be
associated with angels .;
and lost not his kingship, but changed
it. A man of angelic sincerity among men, and as it were an
earthly angel, of whom the world was not worthy, the heavenly
angels snatched him from the world. A man of wonderful
gravity in tender years, of astonishing and unexampled purity
upon the summit and in the delights of the kingdom, he was
taken from a virgin body to the Lamb, the Virgin's son, to follow
him wherever he should go.
1 From Chr. of Melr., 79.

Chr. of Melr. has : And Somerled, under-king of Argyle, now for
twelve years in wicked rebellion against his natural lord Malcolm, king of
Scots, after he had landed at Renfrew bringing with him a numerous army
from Ireland and various places, was at length slain there by a few fellowprovincials,
through divine vengeance, along with his son and innumerable
folk."
For the affair of Somerled cf. the Carmen de Morte Sumerledi, written
by one William in honour of St. Kentigern, in S. of D., ii, 386-388. It is
headed, " How by a very few was slain Somerled Sicebi '
the king,' with his
enormous army."

Chr. of Melr. adds : On the day of the apostles Simon and Jude "
[28th October.]
4 "
Cf. Hoved., i, 231, s.a. 1165 : In the same year died Malcolm, king,
of Scots ; and William, his brother, succeeded him." This is abbreviated
from Chr. of Melr., 80, which gives the date as Thursday, 9th December, at
Jedburgh, in Malcolm's : twenty-fifth year and the date of William's succession
"
as the 24th December. The Durham obituaries place Malcolm
II's " death on the 8th of December ; L.V.E.D., 147, 152. (The 9th December
was a Thursday in 1165.)
