[carew20.FTW]
Alexander was wed to the illegitimate daughter of Henry I, King of England, son of William the Conqueror. Alexander was described as a devout and scholarly man, humble and polite before the monks whose company he enjoyed. To the rest of his subjects, according to Abbot Ailred of Rievaulx, he was 'beyond measure terrible, a man of great heart, applying himself in all things beyond his strength'. When the men of Moray and the Mearns, pulling one of Lulach's descendents from obscurity, rebelled against this unwelcome Normanization, King Alexander suppressed them so violently that thereafter they called him Alexander the Fierce. More peacefully, and following the example of his mother, he brought the Church closer to Rome, but he was also stubborn in the defence of the Scottish Church and resisted English attempts to place it under the authority of the archbishops of York. He reigned in Scotland from 1107 to 1124, although he shared the kingdom with his younger brother David.
Reign 1107-1124
