King David (the Saint) of Scotland I 
David, known as the Saint, was born about 1082. The Saint's father was King Malcom (Caennmor) of Scotland III and his mother was Saint Margaret of Scotland. His maternal grandparents were Edward (the Exile) Atheling and Agatha. He had two sisters named Editha and Mary. He died on May 24th, 1153.General Notes
This influential king established a basic form of central government; issued the first royal coinage; built the castle nuclei of Berwick, Edinburgh, and Stirling; and stengthened Angle-Norman aristocratic and feudal influence in Scotland. This followed his early years at the court of England's Henry I, David's brother-in-law, where he was 1st. Earl of Huntingdon. From 1136 David fought for his neice Matilda against Stephen in the English civil wars, and secured parts of Cumberland and Northumberland for himself. He modified Scottish Christianity (5 bishoprics founded) and established great Lowland abbeys on mainstream West Europeon lines. Succeeded by his grandson, Malcolm IV.
