On page 480 of TKD Prince Nigel says that it has been two generations since a Haldane King has had to stand against Deryni magic, I checked the entry for King Malcolm in the Codex and found nothing.
Malcolm's elder brother Cinhil (and their father Urien) fought the Festils at the Battle of Killingford. It's not clear if Malcolm was present himself.

Ah, so a question that may possibly be answered in
The Road to Killingford!
Thanks, drakensis, BTW, for finding that info.
Malcolm was at Killingford.
At the end of In the King's Service, it's mentioned that Kai Anthony, Kenneth's grandfather, fought at the side of Malcolm.
Malcolm was just a young man then. He fought along side his father, King Urien, and his eldest brother, Prince Cinhil. They fought the Festil Pretenders of those years: Marek II and Marek III. Cinhil II was the victor, following the death of King Urien, but he died a week after the battle. He is considered to be the uncrowned king. Malcolm's inheritance to the thrown was the week after Killingford. We don't yet know all the details of the arcane dual that ended that devistating three day war.
