David de Moravia

[2] In 1306, King Edward I of England charged Bishop David with complicity in the murder of John III Comyn, Lord of Badenoch.

The bishop attended the coronation of Robert I of Scotland as King of Scots at Scone Abbey on 25 March 1306.

Bishop David evaded capture and returned to Scotland at the same time as King Robert the following year.

In March 1309, the bishop took part in the Scottish parliament confirming the right of King Robert to the throne of Scotland.

[5] Bishop David is also notable, in addition to being a Scottish patriot, as the founder of the Scots College in Paris in 1325, by donating the land on which it was built.
