Timeline
Turgot, a monk from Durham, was chosen as bishop for St. Andrews Cathedral. He was consecrated after some difficulty as the Archbishop of Canterbury had objections, but the Archbishop of York stepped in and performed the ceremony. Turgot was never happy with his position as bishop and had thoughts of going to Rome to get confirmation of his disputed consecration, but he died in 1115 before doing so.
The death of Edgar caused a split of unity in Scotland. Alexander I became King of the Scots and David I became the King in Lothian and Strathclyde.
Alexander I of Scotland founded an abbey at Scone favouring the Augustinian canons to populate it.
While his mother, Margaret, favoured the Benedictines, Alexander I of Scotland favoured the Augustinians and introduced them to Scone around this year. [1]
Alexander I founded this abbey on an island in the middle of the Forth river in Scotland. The Scottish king took refuge on the island in a storm and rewarded the hermit who looked after him with the foundation of a church.
The unity in Scotland was restored at the death of Alexander by David I who became King of Scots. During his reign the Scottish borders were extended to the River Tees, including all of Northumberland. (Was he assisted by the Knight Templar?)
