Hello everyone and welcome to the History of Scotland, Episode 36.
Today's episode we pivot our focus slightly. While David I's changes were sweeping, covering facets from governance to law, one area stands out for its significant transformation: the Scottish Church. The church, as we'll soon discover, was a cornerstone of medieval life. It held sway not just over the souls of the people but often over their daily lives and governance as well.
David's reign saw a tectonic shift in how the church functioned in Scotland. But to truly appreciate the magnitude of his reforms, we need to first understand what the church was like before his ascent to the throne. How did the church influence daily life? What were its ties to the broader European ecclesiastical world? And how did it intertwine with the rule of kings and nobility?
