David the Prince - Scotland 03 (2014)
“The Pope finally resolved the matter by declaring that Scotland's Church was in no way a dependency of York. And in order to forestall trouble in England, with Henry, he pushed the action on to William of Canterbury, creating him especial papal legate for the occasion, and directed him, as such, to order Thurstan of York to consecrate Robert of Scone as Bishop of St. Andrews and Primate, with the status of minor but undoubted metropolitan. So it turned out a triumph for David, however long dela...yed.
But by that time events had moved on somewhat drastically on the wider front, with Scotland not unaffected. The Emperor Henry the Fifth died suddenly, and there was trouble about the election of his successor, Lothair, producing a distinct hiatus in Christendom, and leaving Henry's daughter Matilda — now also being called Maud - a young widow. Henry was not one to let the grass grow, even over new graves, and within the year had married the sorrowing Empress off to Geoffrey, son of the Count of Anjou, by-named Plantagenet on account of the sprig of broom he wore in his jousting helmet as identification; no doubt, he deemed him a useful son-in-law in his unending struggle with the King of France.MoreLess
