      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.
