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 King William I.[3]
He was married twice. After his first marriage, he married Hextilda, the daughter of Uhtred of Tynedale, an Anglo-Saxon baron. He named his son and successor Henry, perhaps in honour of King Henry II of England.[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.
