  Notes for the Lion William I Of Scotland:
William I AKA William the Lion, William Leo, William Dunkeld or William Canmore.

Traditionally, William founded Arbroath Abbey Arbroath Abbey is a Tironensian abbey founded in 1178 by King William the Lion in honour of Saint Thomas a Becket, murdered in 1170. The King is thought to be buried there.

It is most famous for its association with the Declaration of Arbroath.

The abbey fell into ruin after the Reformation. From 1590 onwards, it became a source of building stone for the town of Arbroath. This continued until 1815 when steps were taken to preserve the remaining ruins. It is now under the supervision of the Government and is open to the public.

He became known as "the Lion" because of his flag or standard, a red lion rampant on a yellow background. This went on to become the Royal standard of Scotland; the British Monarch when in Scotland still uses it today. The rampant lion also forms part of the Royal Standard The Royal Standard is the official flag of Her Majesty The Queen in her capacity as Sovereign of the United Kingdom and of various other Realms. Several realms posses their own Royal Standards. The Standard generally consists of the nation's coat of arms. Outside of the United Kingdom, a blue disc containing the crowned letter 'E' (for 'Elizabeth'), encircled by a wreath of gold roses, is superimposed over the coat of arms.

William also arranged the Auld Alliance. The Auld Alliance was an alliance between Scotland, France, and Norway. (Norway never invoked the treaty, but was involved in Franco-Scottish politics until 1746.) The alliance is thought to reach as far back as 1165 and William the Lion, although the first documentary evidence dates from the treaty signed by John Balliol in 1295. The terms of the treaty stipulated that if any country was attacked by England the other countries would invade English territory, as became evident at the Battle of Flodden Field.

William died in Stirling in 1214 and lies buried in Arbroath Abbey. His son, Alexander II (August 24, 1198 - July 6, 1249), King of Scotland, son of William I, the Lion, and of Ermengarde of Beaumont, was born at Haddington in 1198, and succeeded to the kingdom on the death of his father on 4 December1214.
