MALCOLM MACETH, illegitimate son of ALEXANDER I [Sct], in 1124, upon Alexander's death, fought two battles for the Crown, against his uncle DAVID I.

He was captured in 1134, and imprisoned in Roxburgh Castle. Liberated after not less than 23 years' imprisonment, as Malcolm Maceth he witnessed a charter of Malcolm IV. He was created EARL OF ROSS in or before 1162; for [I160-62] as Malcolm, Earl of Ros, he received the King's command to protect the monks of Dunfermline.
