Narrative

[SUSANNA KEENE.FTW]

the Scots continued to waste the borderlands.
REF: Famous Scottish Battles: The Scots, since the reign of
Malcolm Canmore (1058 - 1093) had been trying - in vain - to
asert their claim on the lands known as Northumbria, in the
North of England. This had been carried over to David's reign
by way of duty. In 1138, David invaded England and was met by a
body of Norman's at Northallerton. The Norman's standard emblem
was a wagon with a mast, itself bearing religious standards.
The Scottish army numbered 26,000, but were 'ill formed'. There
were 'lowlanders with long spears; men of Galloway with pikes
only; men of Orkney and the Isles with their battle-axes; and
Higlanders with their swords and small round shields'. Each
attack they made was repelled and when a cry went up that David
was slain there was further confusion. Though baffled, David
was not dead, and contrary to many other sources, it can be
revealed that David was not totally defeated at this battle. He
rallied his men and they wasted the English borders until
Stephen gave up Northumbria. The rest of his reign was
peaceful.

REF: Scottish History website: David I had received a Norman
education and grew to love Normans and Anglo-Norman culture. He
may have thought they were his friends, but a quote from
Anglo-Norman Noble William of Malmesbury, reveals much; "His
manners were polished from the rust of Scottish barbarity".
On David I's return to Scotland as king he proceeded to
distribute large estates there amongst his Anglo-Norman
friends, such as the de Brus (the Bruce family), Walter
Fitz-Alan, a Breton who became his high Steward (the ancestor
of the Stewart Clan), de Bailleul (the Balliol family), de
Comines (the Comyn family) and many others who thus became
landholders on both sides of the border. David I also
introduced into the Lowlands a fuedal system of ownership,
founded on a new, French speaking
Anglo-Norman aristocracy. Although they intermarried and
eventually merged with the old and rapidly
disappearing, Celtic aristocracy, these new Scots remained for
a time partially Gaelic, save for the south and east of
Scotland which now spoke a primitive form of English, (Lothian
English). Meanwhile, in the Highlands of Scotland, a different
more patriarchal system prevailed (based on the ancient clan
system), and the King of Scots writ counted for very little,
while in the Isles of western Scotland and parts of the
west mainland, whose Norse-Scot clans, paid no attention to the
King of Scotland, if anyone it was to the king of Norway. When
David I came to the throne in 1124, Scotland had been a rather
primitive country, with only small towns and little industry.
Also, depending on where you were in the Lowlands in 1124 , you
could have to speak Latin, French, English or a number of
Gaelic dialects just in the south of Scotland. The Scottish
church with only three Bishops, had little influence. When
David I died in 1153 much had changed. In many areas of the
Lowlands, what remained of the old Celtic way of life had been
swept away and a new Anglo-Norman order of things were
established in it's place. While David did little to help the
old Celtic ways, he modernized a backward Scotland -- and Scots
benefitted from David I's administrative work. Especially
future kings of Scotland.[MARSHALL.FTW]
