[edit] Matilda or Maud?

Was his wife named Matilda or Maud (or both in different contexts)? The link says "Matilda", but it leads to an article named Maud, 2nd Countess of Huntingdon. Can anyone clarify? --Mais oui! 13:39, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

It's the same name. One I think is English, one French, but I can't remember which is which. - Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 20:44, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Ta. I suspected it was something like that. Probably best being explained over at her article, once we have established what the situation is was. --Mais oui! 22:42, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Matilda is simply the Norman form of the name Maud -- Maud being especially difficult to pronounce in French. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.235.251.230 (talk) 18:40, 22 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] New Version

I've uploaded a pared down version of a Master's Thesis on king David, written by Jordan Diacur (ie. me) for Prof. Elizabeth Ewan, at the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada, and completed in February, 2006. I included any and all information I believed to be encyclopedic and biographical and attempted to give a rounded appraisal of the historiographical questions and recent interpretations. (There are also complete endnotes and a bibliography).

I hope this will be useful; do with it what you will. SlowwwwMoses 18:54, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

In addition to my notation regarding the quality of the scanned info, it most definitely needs to have the citations properly formatted. As it stands now, the citation numbers appear directly in the text instaed of using proper wikiformatting. Also, that whole piece needs to have wikilinks added. - CobaltBlueTony 20:01, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New article

I've brought a new article. It is still on the long side, but that I suppose can be fixed later. There are numerous subarticles too. I've kept some of SlowwwwMoses article, where those bits were in wiki tone, but it's virtually all new. Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 06:05, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Domina Anglorum

I enjoyed this article, especially because I didn't know much about Scottish history of this time, despite having studied this period of English history at university. I don't know if there has been new research (I haven't read Oram), but I always understood that Matilda, despite having possession of the crown, was never actually crowned, and so "David travelled to the south of England and entered Matilda's company; he was present during her coronation at Westminster Abbey" made me raise an eyebrow. I thought Matilda had fallen out with various people in London and had disregarded her advisors (including David?) and so ended up being recognised only as "Lady of the English" before being hustled out of town by Stephen's Matilda. I didn't think she was crowned at Winchester either. qp10qp 20:17, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it should have said expected or aborted coronation. Thanks for spotting this ... 'tis fixed. Regards, Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 20:35, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Neighbouring Bishops

Should the infobox at the foot of the Article not include the Bishops of Nidaros, although these were created toward the end of David's reign, the Bishops of Orkney and those of Sodor were there, submitting to either York or Trondheim. Brendandh 09:30, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Saint

I have added the saints banner to this article on the basis of the subject being named in the List of royal saints and martyrs. I cannot myself right now provide documentation of this claim, but shall try to do so over the weekend. John Carter 00:44, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

According to this source, "The PenguinDictionary of Saints:Third Edition" by Donald Attwater and Catherine Rachel John, Penguin Books, ISBN 0-140-51312-4, his feast day is May 24. I'm not sure where you would want to include it in the article though. I am adding him to the Category:Scottish saints, though. John Carter 16:53, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
