Who they were
David I (Modern Gaelic: Daibhidh I mac [Mhaoil] Chaluim; c. 1084 – 24 May 1153) was King of Scotland from 1124 to 1153. He was previously Prince of the Cumbrians from 1113 to 1124. The youngest son of King Malcolm III and Queen Margaret, David spent most of his childhood in Scotland but was exiled to England temporarily in 1093. Perhaps after 1100, he became a dependent at the court of Henry I of England, by whom he was influenced.
