Watt, (eds.), Scottichronicon by Walter Bower in Latin and English, Vol. 3, (Aberdeen, 1995), pp. 344-5, 463, where the translators wrongly translate his name, given in the Latin as Malisius, as "Maelbrigde"; see also, Andrew of Wyntoun, The Original Chronicle, line 1494, which calls him "secund Malice", available online [here] We have no direct dates for Máel Ísu II's episcopate, but the indirect evidence for his predecessors suggests that he was bishop in the later 10th and/or early 11th century.see articles on Fothad I, Máel Ísu I, Cellach II and Máel Muire.
