Alexander became king in 1107 after the death of his elder brother Edgar who had died without an heir. Alexander married Sybilla one of Henry I's illegitimate daughters. Alexander had no children who could succeed him so he was succeeded by his brother David I who during Alexander's reign had controlled much of Scotland's southern territories.
