This article surveys the development of the religious devotions and court life of David II of Scotland (1329-71). Using contemporary government and chronicle sources it discusses the favour David showed to a wide range of chivalric and pious causes, many with special personal resonance for the second Bruce king. This patronage attracted widespread support for his kingship after 1357. However, David also had political motivation for these interests, namely his agenda of securing a peace deal with Edward III of England and overawing his Scottish magnate opponents. His political circumstances meant that his legacy of chivalric and religious patronage was obscured after his early death
