Notes

Individual:
THE MONASTERY, founded and finished by Alexander I., inter 1115-1124, stood a little to th
e south of the Abbey, was of such ample dimensions that any three sovereigns could be accommodated and entertained within its walls without inconvenience. (Matthew of Westminster; Mercer's Hist. Dunf. p.55, &c. See also date 1304 of Annals of Dunfermline.)

Alexander I., between 1107 and 1124, created several Royal Burghs, among which were those, i t would appear, noticed in the writ. It is likely that Dunfermline was made a Royal Burgh by Alexander I. early in his reign.(See An. Dunf. dates 1109,1112,1115.)
