	According to the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_IV_of_Scotland ''~~Wikipaedia~~'']], '''Malcolm IV''' (c. 1141 - December 9, 1165) was the eldest son of Henry, Earl of Huntingdon (d. 1152), son of King [[David I]], and succeeded his grandfather David as king of [[Scotland]] in 1153. He was called the "Milk Maiden," (possibly because he was believed to have been utterly [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chastity chaste]] throughout his life, as the result of a vow) and died unmarried and childless in 1165.
