He was defeated at the Battle of the Standard, 1138, where he had sided
with Matilda. He was devoted to the church and founded five bishoprics and
many monasteries. He "energetically forwarded the process of feudalization
which had been initiated by his immediate predecessors."{-Encycl.Brit.,
1956, 7:78; 20:147} David reigned 1124-53, reorganizing the kingdom along
Norman lines. During his reign Normans and Flemings settled in Scotland
and such institutions developed as the justiciary, sheriffs and the jury.
He built many castles as centers of royal power and established many
religious houses. He built a network of diocesan bishops. {See "Kings and
Kinship in Early Scotland," Marjorie O. Anderson, 1973.} He was Earl of
Northampton, etc. as well as King of Scotland.
