Military Service NOV 1093 Battle of Alnwick, Northumbria, England
He had been serving as Warden of the the Marches as he commanded Scottish forces on the border with England. He then led the Scottish attack into English territory at Castle Alnwick. After the battle was won, the surrendering English garrison requested that King Malcolm should come in person to receive the keys of the castle. When Malcolm reached the gates, the soldier, Arkil Morel of Bamburgh, nephew of Earl Robert de Mowbray (sworn brother of Malcolm) presented him with the keys but thrust his spear into the king's eye at the moment his hand was outstretched to receive them. By this 'base treachery' of de Mowbray, the king Scots was killed.' Malcolm's son, Edward, maintained the siege to avenge his father's death, but, advancing too eagerly was killed, in an assault. The Scots, being too much afflicted, abandoned the siege and retired. Today the castle in an impressive display of medieval fortification, with a central keep and a massive encircling wall
