Malcolm IV, called the Maiden c.1141-1165
King of Scotland
He was the grandson and successor (1153) of David I. Compelled to restore the northern English counties to Henry II in return for the earldom and honour of Huntingdon (1157), he served on Henry's expedition to Toulouse (1159), and was then knighted. Malcolm continued to implement David I's Normanizing policies, despite native opposition. He defeated Fergus, Lord of Galloway (1161) and Somerled, Lord of Argyll (1164). His byname was coined in the 15th century, in recognition of his well-attested reputation for chastity.

A wildcard is a special character you can use to replace one or more characters in a word. There are two types of wildcard. The first is a question mark ?, which matches a single character. The second is an asterisk *, which matches zero or more characters. The two kinds of wildcard can be mixed in a single search.
