Chapter 14 considers representations of David since his death, and chapter 15 is a discussion of "cultures of power" in David's Scotland. This is Richard Oram's second biography of David I, the first being I David I: The King who Made Scotland i (Tempus: Stroud, 2004). The first part of the book and chapter 14 are, in the main, revised and updated versions of Oram's first biography of David (although this is not noted by the author, so far as the present reviewer could determine).
