Malcolm's successor, his brother William I (1165-1214), known as "the Lion", continued the Flemish settlement policy, as well as utilizing Flemish aid in other matters: In 1173, when William invaded northern England, he was assisted by a Flemish contingent sent by Philip of Alsace, Comte de Flandres."
