Set in the twelth century, the incredible story of one of Scotland's greatest kings. Half-Celt and half-Saxon, determined King David who took hold of his backward, patriarchal, strife-ridden country and – against all the odds – pushed and dragged it to the forefront of Christendom's advancing nations. A story of independence, singlemindedness and hard-headed leadership. But also, through the turbulent years of his reign, a story of devotion – to the woman he admired and loved, Queen Matilda.
