David, Earl of Huntingdon
Appearance
David of Scotland, 8th Earl of Huntingdon (d. 1219) was a Scottish prince. He was the son of Henry of Scotland, 3rd Earl of Huntingdon and thereby grandson of the Scottish king David I.
After the extinction of the senior line of the Scottish royal house in 1290 when the line of David's brother King William I ended, David's descendents were the prime candidates for the throne. The two most notable claimants to the throne, Robert Bruce and John Balliol claimed descent through David's daughters Isobel and Margaret respectively. David's son John succeeded him to the earldom.
