"CXLV" Chronicle of the Scottish Nation

CXLV. Coronation of King David. On the 24th of November 1331, David, son and heir of King Robert, was anointed king of Scots, and crowned at Scone, by the lord James Ben, bishop of Saint Andrews, specially appointed thereunto by a Bull of the most holy father John xxii., then sovereign Pontiff. We do not read that any of the kings of Scotland, before this David, were anointed, or with such solemnity crowned. The same day, John Stewart, Earl of Angus — Thomas Randolph, son and heir of Thomas Earl of Moray — and other nobles of the kingdom of Scotland, received the order of knighthood.
