I would think this is likely to give an error because there's no reason
syntactically why the subselect should return a single value - that "1"
could be any other number.
How about something like
UPDATE Account a
SET a.last_update = (SELECT max(h.tranDate)
FROM History h
WHERE a.Account_Number = h.Account_Number)
