Dunfermline was once the seat of a King and his sainted wife. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 A qualified historian* writes: Medieval Scottish Kings tended to move around a lot and didn't really have a fixed capital. They would collect taxes in the form of conveth or a share of any crops. Wherever the King happened to be at the time that was where the capital was. Haddington was once Scotland's capital as William the Lion held a Parliament there but no one has suggested Haddington become a City. Malcolm Bigheid's wife Margaret reformed the Scottish Church to bring it more in alignment with Rome. So not staunch. *yes, I know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The honour was bestowed as part of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations for Liz, although she chose to die rather than go through with it, leaving King Jugears to sign it off 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
