No idea. As far as I can tell there were no English King Malcolms. Malcolm II of Scotland took the throne in 1005, which fits the \\\"11th century\\\", but since he wasn\\\'t English and didn\\\'t \\\"take over\\\" Scotland (although the period was characterised by constant succession wars between the two branches of the royal family, and he did take the throne by Kenneth III), I have no idea if that\\\'s what the troper was thinking of.
I\\\'m also not sure about the assumption that Scottish noble ladies didn\\\'t wear similar dresses to English noble ladies until England \\\"took over\\\". As far as I\\\'m aware there\\\'s not much evidence supporting or contradicting this, but it\\\'s not like Scotland was entirely disconnected from England during this period. I\\\'m somewhat tempted to remove the whole passage.
