=== Life Sketch ===
David of Scotland (Medieval Gaelic: Dabíd) (1152 – 17 June 1219) was a Scottish prince and 8th Earl of Huntingdon. He was, until 1198, heir to the Scottish throne.
Life
He was the youngest surviving son of Henry of Scotland, 3rd Earl of Huntingdon and Ada de Warenne, a daughter of William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey, and Elizabeth of Vermandois. His paternal grandfather was David I of Scotland. Huntingdon was granted to him after his elder brother William I of Scotland ascended the throne. David's son John succeeded him to the earldom.
In 1190 his brother gave him 'superiority' over Dundee and its port. The same year he endowed Lindores Abbey in Fife and a church dedicated to St Mary in Dundee.
In the litigation for succession to the crown of Scotland in 1290–1292, the great-great-grandson Floris V, Count of Holland of David's sister, Ada, claimed that David had renounced his hereditary rights to the throne of Scotland. He therefore declared that his claim to the throne had priority over David's descendants. However, no explanation or firm evidence for the supposed renunciation could be provided.
Marriage and issue
On 26 August 1190 David married Matilda of Chester (1171 – 6 January 1233), daughter of Hugh de Kevelioc, 3rd Earl of Chester. He was almost twenty years Matilda's senior. The marriage was recorded by Benedict of Peterborough.
David and Matilda had seven children:
- Margaret of Huntingdon (c. 1194 – c. 1228), married Alan, Lord of Galloway, by whom she had two daughters, including Dervorguilla of Galloway.
- Robert of Huntingdon (died young)
- Ada of Huntingdon, married Sir Henry de Hastings, by whom she had one son, Henry de Hastings, 1st Baron Hastings.
- Matilda (Maud) of Huntingdon (-aft.1219, unmarried)
- Isobel of Huntingdon (1199–1251), married firstly, Henry de Percy and had issue and secondly, Robert Bruce, 4th Lord of Annandale, by whom she had two sons, including Robert de Brus, 5th Lord of Annandale.
- John of Scotland, Earl of Huntingdon (1207 – 6 June 1237), married Elen ferch Llywelyn. He succeeded his uncle Ranulf as Earl of Chester in 1232, but died childless.
- Henry of Huntingdon (died young)
Earl David also had three illegitimate children:
- Henry of Stirling
- Henry of Brechin
- Ada, married Malise, son of Ferchar, Earl of Strathearn
After the extinction of the senior line of the Scottish royal house in 1290, when the legitimate line of William the Lion of Scotland ended, David's descendants were the prime candidates for the throne. The two most notable claimants to the throne, Robert Bruce, 5th Lord of Annandale (grandfather of King Robert I of Scotland) and John Balliol were his descendants through David's daughters Isobel and Margaret, respectively.
Possible Robin Hood connection
David is a possible inspiration figure for the Robin Hood legend because the legend plays at the same time as David lived in the 1190s. The association of Robin Hood with the Earl of Huntingdon can be traced to ballads of the 17th century, such as A True Tale of Robin Hood. Both David and Robin Hood are said to have taken part in the Third Crusade, and by 1194 David had taken part at the siege of Nottingham Castle where the High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire and Derby County was taken captive. His son Robert who died young may also have been a possible inspiration for Robin Hood.
In popular culture
Sir Walter Scott's 1825 novel The Talisman features Earl David in his capacity as a prince of Scotland as a crusader on the Third Crusade. For the majority of the novel, Earl David operates under an alias: Sir Kenneth of the Couchant Leopard. Earl David's adventures are highly fictionalized for this novel.
The television series Robin of Sherwood features Earl David of Huntingdon. The first reference to Earl David (by name only) is in the episode "The Prisoner", in which Prince John states that Earl David is a "dissident" who opposes Prince John's possible succession as King Richard's heir should Richard die without a legitimate heir of his body. The earl himself appears in the first part of "Herne's Son" in which he is not referred to directly as David; his character is the father of Robert of Huntingdon, the second son of Herne to feature in the series adopting the alias of Robin Hood. In the episode "Rutterkin", the earl appears again with a fictitious brother named Edgar, and though he is again not referred to directly as David, it is definitively stated that the earl is the brother of the king of Scotland (as Earl David was the brother of King William The Lion of Scotland). ("The Prisoner", "Herne's Son" and "Rutterkin" were all written by Richard Carpenter.) Earl David was played by Michael Craig.
Earl David features briefly in the 2013 Robin Hood novel The Arrow of Sherwood by Lauren Johnson. He is depicted at the siege of Nottingham Castle in support of King Richard in 1194.
ALTHOUGH THE EARL MAY BE THE INSPIRTION FOR THE ROBINHOOD LEGEND, IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP TRUE FACTS AND FICTION SEPARATE.

=== DAVID OF SCOTLAND, younger brother of Ma ===
DAVID OF SCOTLAND, younger brother of Malcolm and William, KINGS OF SCOTLAND and EARLS OF HUNTINGDON. He was knighted by Henry II, 31 May 1170. He received from his brother William, soon after the latter's return from imprisonent in England in 1174, the district of Garioch, co. Aberdeen (being by some some considered, but on insufficient evidence, to have become Earl of Garioch), and the EARLDOM OF LENNOX. In the same year he was sent by his brother to Leicester to succour the knights of the Earl of Leicester. He was a hostage for Scotland upon the confirmation, made at York August 1175, of the Convention of Falaise, the terms of which were proclaimed in St. Petcr's, York, before both Kings, the Scots earls doing fealty there to Henry and his son. By the resignation in his favour of the Earldom by William, his brother, he became EARL OF HUNTINGDON in 1185. He attended the meeting in London summoned by Henry II for quadragesima Sunday 1185 to discuss Pope Lucius's letter for a new crusade. He carried one of the three swords at the Coronation of Richard I, 3 September 1189; was confirmed in the honour of Huntingdon, probably after another surrender by William, as fully as King David his father and King Malcolm his brother had held it, 24 June 1190. He founded., about 1191 the Abbey of Lindores in Fife, was a benefactor to St. Andrew's, Northampton, and to Holy Trinity (Christ Church), London. As Earl David, brother of the King of Scots, he made a grant of land in Cambridge witnessed by Henry his son and Simon St. Liz. He and his brother-in-law, the Earl of Chester, besieged the castle of Nottingham in 1194, when it was held by the adherents of John, the King's brotlier, and in that year attended Richard in his expedition into Normandy. He did homage to his nephew, Alexander, son of King William, in 1205. His English honours were confirmed to him 23 May 1205 and 5 March 1215, but he was deprived in 1215 or 1216,and restored 13 March 1218. He married, 26 August 1190, Maud, sister and coheir of Ranulph, 4th Earl of Chester, eldest daughter of Hugh, of Kevelioc, EARL OF CHESTER, by Bertradc, daughter of Simon, COMTE D'EVREUX. He died 17 June 1219, at Yardley, Northants, and was buried in Sawtrey Abbey. His widow died about 6 January 1233. [Complete Peerage VI:646-7, XIV:395]

------------------------------
on the history of the Earldom of Huntingdon:
After Earl Simon's [Matilda's 1st husband] death, his Widow married David I of Scotland, who consequently became Earl of Huntingdon too, keeping the Earldom even after he succeeded his brother as King of Scots. He sided with the Empress Maud against Stephen I but came to terms with the latter and made the Earldom over to his son Henry. Henry swore fealty to Stephen but subsequently fought against him under the Scottish banner, which may account for Simon de St Liz's son, another Simon, being recognized as Earl of Huntingdon before Henry's death in 1152. Thereafter the Earldom was more or less bounced back and forth between the de St Liz family and the Kings of Scotland, first being held 1157-65 by Malcolm the Maiden and (1165-74) by his brother William The Lion, King of Scots, then by a Simon de St Liz (grandson of the first Simon and son of the second) from 1174 to 1184.
When the third Simon de St Liz died in 1184 he left no surviving issue and David, younger brother of the Kings of Scots just mentioned, assumed the Earldom from 1185 (on the handing over of it to him by William the Lion) till it was taken away from him in 1215 or 1216 by King John. He got it back again in 1218, however. [Burke's Peerage]

No direct evidence has been of this supposed first marriage of David. However, the date of David’s marriage to Matilda of Chester is late for this to have been his first marriage. In addition, his foundation charter for Lindores abbey refers to the donation of his daughter Ada, who was already married at the time and therefore considerably older than David’s children by his marriage to Matilda. Secondary sources generally assume that Ada was illegitimate.
