King David l of Scotland had a profound influence on his country's futu
course of events, for it washe who introduced the Anglo-Norman feudal
system into the south of Scotland.Before acceding to the Scottish throne
in 1124, David had spent much of his life at the Court of Henry l of
England, his brother-in-law. With the help ofmany Anglo-Normans, he
ruled large areas of northern England, but his continual intrigues
against King Stephen, who succeeded Henry in 1135, cost him dearly, for
he was badly defeated at the Battle of the Standard in 1138, having to
forfeit his right to Northumberland. David also recognized his niece, t
Holy Roman Empress Matilda as rightful heir to the English throne and
fought on her behalf with much success, enabling her son Henry
Plantagenet to succeed Stephen in 1154.
David's grants of lands to many Norman families helped settle the
Lowlands with a new aristocracy; their intermarriage with those
Anglo-Normans who had preceded them into Scotland gave birth to the gre
dynasties of Comyn, Bruce, Stewart and Oliphant that were to play such
prominent parts in future Scottish history. It was David who created a
kind of central administration for Scotland and who issued the first
Scottish royal coinage. He built the castles around which the first
Scottish burghs grew, including Edinburgh and Stirling. He also
reorganized the Scottish Church to conform to continental and English
standards and practices in addition to founding many religious
communities that laid the foundation for Scotland's later reputationfor
scholarship and education.
