FKOM ENGLISH CHRONICLERS 231
with sickness at Carlisle, and died on the ninth * before the
Kalends of June ; and his memory is blessed throughout all
generations. 2
There has been none like unto that prince in our days :
devoted to divine services, failing not to attend each day at
all the canonical hours, and also at the vigils of the dead.
And in this he was to be praised that in a spirit of foresight
and courage he wisely tempered the fierceness of his barbarous
nation that he was ;
frequent in washing the feet of the poor,
and compassionate in feeding and clothing them ; that he
built, and supplied sufficiently with lands and revenues, the
monasteries of Kelso, Melrose, Newbattle, Holmcultram,
Jedburgh, Holyrood, these being situated to this side of the
sea of Scotland, besides those which he benefited in Scotland,
and in other places. 3 And also in the case of foreign races
he gave his bounties to pilgrims, men in religion and laymen.
More boastfully would I relate that he showed himself a
model even for men of the cloisters in daily frugality of food
and clothing, in the sanctity of an honourable life, in the
restraint of his customs.
He reigned twenty-nine years.
And his body was carried
to Dunfermline and buried in the sepulchre of the kings of
Scotland, where also rests the holy queen Margaret, his
mother.
And of him it is related that the sea which is near to
Dunfermline raged under stormy blasts of wind, and threatened
with shipwreck them who wished to cross with the body.
But when the king's body was placed in the ship the sea was
stilled from its raging and when the ; body was lifted out of
the ship upon the other shore, the sea was disturbed by the
renewed surging of the storm.
