Talk:Treaty of Abernethy

Aftermath...
There's a rather large gap in the text.

Malcolm's son David I was King of the Scots from 1124 to 1153.

When David's brother Alexander I died in 1124, David, with the military backing of Henry I, took Scotland (Alba) for himself and his Norman followers.

Both Alexander and David were married to daughters of Henry I and were largely brought up in the Anglo-Norman court as Norman aristocrats.

The details are now lost. But it seems improbable that either Henry or his immediate predecessors would have loaned a Norman army to any 'King of the Scots' without oaths of allegiance and subordination in exchange. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.13.79.121 (talk) 16:18, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

Margaret and her sons brought about the Anglicisation of the Lowlands? Surely not.
"The influence of Margaret and her sons brought about the Anglicisation of the Lowlands"

This sentence surely cannot be true. The Angles settled in what only later became the 'Scottish' lowlands some four centuries before these events. The lowlands were largely part of the early English Kingdoms of first Bernicia and then Northumbria. Many Saxon refugees did however join them after 1066. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.13.79.121 (talk) 16:31, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
