Notes

1 DB: This final entry (on the establishment of the Premonstratensian Order) is regarded here (and also by the Andersons, The Chronicle of Melrose, p.xxxvi) as Scribal profile 8, not Scribal profile 24 (as in Duncan, ‘Sources and uses in the Chronicle of Melrose’, p. 151).
2 DB: The form of the tironian et is reminiscent of Scribal profile 49 rather than Scribal profile 8; however, the insertion-sign is not typical of Scribal profile 49.
3 DB: Originally written with an initial f.
4 DB: The Andersons (The Chronicle of Melrose, p. xxxvi) identify this as probably the text hand (Scribal profile 8).
5 DB: Read proficiscitur.
6 DB: The Andersons (The Chronicle of Melrose, p. xxxvi) identify this as probably the text hand (Scribal profile 8).
7 DB: Altered by over-writing from circumcisionem.

*the king and/to\David king of Scots.
and other Romans elected Guy, archbishop of Vienne, and they called him Calixtus. The Church is hit by a grave scandal. Pope Calixtus held a general council at Rheims on 20 October, in which he also excommunicated the emperor H[enry]; in which he also consecrated Thurstan archbishop of York, although H[enry], king of the English, and \Ralph/ , archbishop of Canterbury, opposed through their messengers. Pope Calixtus went to Gisors to talk with Henry, king of the English. Dom Norbert established the Premonstratensian Order by the authority of Pope Calixtus.

In the 1120th year William the king’s son, and his brother born out of wedlock, \and/many nobles who and women, 140 knights, and 50 sailors with three captains were all drowned at Barfleur.

In the 1121st year King H[enry] joined himself in marriage to Alice daughter of Godfrey, duke of Lorraine. Eadmer, a monk of Canterbury, elected to the bishopric of St Andrews \in Scotland/ , returned to his own place after giving up the intention of ruling the bishopric. Pope Calixtus, with his letters, urged the king of England to receive Archbishop Thurstan, and he is restored to his archiepiscopacy without demanding profession. Pope Calixtus departed from Rome and besieged the city of Sutri, and he takes the antipope Burdinus and drives him to Cava into exile. King H[enry] came to Wales with a great army. But * the Welsh immediately came to an agreement. Ranulf, bishop of Durham, strengthened the castle at Norham.
In the 1\1/22nd year John bishop of Glasgow sets out for Rome and Jerusalem. Pope Calixtus and the emperor H[enry] were reconciled. King Henry went to Carlisle. Archbishop Ralph \of Canterbury/ died. Sibyl, queen of Scots, died on 13 July.
In the 1123rd year John bishop of Glasgow is forced by Pope Calixtus to return /\ his bishopric. William of Corbeil is elected to the archbishopric of Canterbury. Pope Calixtus held a council in Rome on 18 March with 300 bishops attending. Archbishops William and Thurstan came to Rome and return with affairs unfinished. Baldwin king of Jerusalem is captured by the pagans by deceit.
In the 1124th year Alexander king of Scots died, on 25 April; his brother David succeeded him. In the same year, 4 months before his death, he caused Robert, prior of Scone, to be elected as bishop of St Andrews. But his ordination was delayed for a great time. Pope Calixtus died; Honorius succeeded him.

In the 1125th year the emperor Henry died without sons; Lothar succeeded him. The legate John of Crema came to England, and to King David at Roxburgh, and on his way back held a council at London. The chief moneyers of all England were apprehended by order of King H[enry] and as soon as they were assembled at Winchester they are emasculated by amputating their right hands and cutting off their testicles, immediately after 1 January. There was a very great famine throughout England. The empress, after her husband’s death, ¶returned to her father in Normandy.
In the 1126th year the king of Jerusalem, after his ransom had been given to the pagans, and hostages had been given, is released, free to return to his people. Thurstan and William, archbishops of York and Canterbury, return from Rome; William of Canterbury, indeed, was made a legate, but Thurstan remained in his original position.

In the 1127th year David, king of Scotland, and all the archbishops, abbots, earls, and barons of all England \swore/ to the kingship of the empress, on 1 January, at London. Charles count of Flanders was killed, while in prayer at mass during Lent. \William Longspée, son of Robert Curthose,/ succeeded him as count. King Henry gave his daughter, the empress, to the count of Anjou, \Geoffrey./

In the 1128th year the church of Holyrood in Edinburgh began to be founded. William, count
David was king for twenty-nine years, in Scotland, warily discerning what was provident.
After he fortified the kingdom with castles and arms. It is said the king died an old man at Carlisle.
