Document 3/6/3 (Stringer, Earl David Acta, no. 34)

Description
David, brother of the king of Scots, to the bishop of Lincoln and the men of the earldom of Huntingdon; he granted to Holyrood Abbey the church of Great Paxton, Hunts., which King Malcolm gave them in perpetual alms, as his charter and the charter of King William attest and confirm.
Firm date
1174
Dating Notes
'The most likely date of the Holyrood confirmation is the eve of his campaign in England in 1174, when the canons would have been particularly anxious to secure ratification of their rights in Great Paxton from their new lord.' Stringer, _Earl David_, 238.
