query: How did the relationship between the Kingdom of England and King David I of Scotland evolve during his reign?
answer: The relationship between England and King David I was initially positive due to David's strong alliance with Henry I of England.  After Henry I's death, David supported Matilda's claim to the throne, leading to conflict with Stephen. This resulted in several invasions of northern England, punctuated by treaties, ultimately expanding David's kingdom significantly despite a military defeat at the Battle of the Standard.  Later, the arrival of Matilda in England further influenced this dynamic.
