Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_I_of_Scotland
David I or Dauíd mac Maíl Choluim (Modern: Daibhidh I mac [Mhaoil] Chaluim;[1] c.?
1084 – 24 May 1153) was a 12th-century ruler who was Prince of the Cumbrians 
(1113–1124) and later King of the Scots (1124–1153). The youngest son of Máel 
Coluim III (Malcolm III) and Margaret of Wessex, David spent most of his childhood in 
Scotland, but was exiled to England temporarily in 1093. Perhaps after 1100, he 
became a dependent at the court of King Henry I. There he was influenced by the 
Norman and Anglo-French culture of the court.

When David's brother Alexander I of Scotland died in 1124, David chose, with the 
backing of Henry I, to take the Kingdom of Scotland (Alba) for himself. He was forced 
to engage in warfare against his rival and nephew, Máel Coluim mac Alaxandair. 
Subduing the latter seems to have taken David ten years, a struggle that involved the 
destruction of Óengus, Mormaer of Moray. David's victory allowed expansion of 
control over more distant regions theoretically part of his Kingdom. After the death of 
his former patron Henry I, David supported the claims of Henry's daughter and his own 
niece, the former Empress-consort, Matilda, to the throne of England. In the process, 
he came into conflict with King Stephen and was able to expand his power in northern 
England, despite his defeat at the Battle of the Standard in 1138.
