==Death and burial of Queen Maud of Scotland==
(Royal Ancestry) His wife, Queen Maud, died 1130 or 1131, and was burie d a t S c o n e.
Note. Scone Abbey (or Scone Priory) was a house of Augustinian canons b a s e d a t S cone, Perthshire (Gowie), Scotland. It was founded between 111 4 a n d 1 1 2 2. In 1163 or 1164 King Malcolm IV increased Scone's status to t h a t o f a b bey from priory and in his words was, "in the principal seat o f o u r k i n gdom," and as such was one of the chief residences of Scottish k i n g s a n d where they professed their vows to the people of Scotland. Th e a b b e y a t Scone continued to function well into the 17th century but n ow n o l o n g er exists, its precise location a mystery until found in 2007 u s in g m o d ern electronic technology.
