(Redirected from Indulf I of Scotland)
'Idulb mac CausantÃn' (anglicised 'Indulf') (died 962) was king of Scots from 954. He was the son of CausantÃn mac Ãeda.
Idulb is an Old Irish name derived from either the Old Norse name ''Hildulfr'' or the Old English name ''Eadwulf''. Idulb was later rendered Indulf under Old French influence.[1]
John of Fordun and others supposed that Idulb had been king of Strathclyde in the reign of his predecessor, based on their understanding that the kingdom of Strathclyde had become a part of the kingdom of Alba in the 940s. This, however, is no longer accepted.[2]
The Chronicle of the Kings of Alba says: "In his time ''oppidum Eden''", usually identified as Edinburgh,[3] "was evacuated, and abandoned to the Scots until the present day." This has been read as indicating that Lothian or some large part of it, fell to Idulb at this time. However, the conquest of Lothian is likely to have been a process rather than a single event, and the frontier between the lands of the kings of Alba and Bernicia may have lain south and east of Edinburgh many years before Idulb's reign.[4]
Idulb's death is reported by the Chronicon Scotorum in 962, the Chronicle of the Kings of Alba adding that he was killed fighting Vikings near Cullen. The Prophecy of Berchán, however, claims that he died "in the house of the same holy apostle, where his father [died]", that is at the céli dé monastery of St Andrews. He was buried on Iona.[5]
Idulb was succeeded by Dub mac MaÃl Coluim, son of his predecessor. His sons Cuilén and AmlaÃb were later kings. Eochaid, a third son, was killed with Cuilén by the men of Strathclyde in 971.

18th century depiction of king. The depiction is highly anachronistic and bears no relation to the king's actual appearance.
