Failure to achieve a consensus on a regular Easter cycle divided Christians in the second century and again in the fourth. In the seventh century and early eighth, the matter was contested among the churches of Britain and Ireland. In this period, Ceolfrith, abbot of Wearmouth-Jarrow, sent a letter to the king of the Picts, outlining the reasons for following a nineteen-year paschal cycle. Bede, in his Historia ecclesiastica, reproduced Ceolfrith's letter, preserving a unique study on the logistical and theological complexities in the debate on how to derive the correct date to celebrate Easter. Concentration on Ceolfrith's computistical argument, however, can miss his interpretation of paschal theology that emphasises the Resurrection rather than the Passion; his Christological emphasis on the biblical Exodus story; and his mystical interpretation of Easter as a spiritual journey where light triumphs over darkness. This article therefore discusses Ceolfrith's paschal theology and considers the way in which it may have affected liturgical rites.

The medieval cartulary is well known as a major source for documents. This article takes Scotland as a case study for examining how the understanding of medieval cartularies has been shaped by those works extensively used by researchers to access cartularies and their texts – in a Scottish context this is principally the antiquarian publications and modern catalogues. Both pose their own problems for scholars seeking to understand the medieval cartulary. After an in-depth examination of these issues, a radical solution is offered which shifts the attention onto the manuscripts themselves. Such an approach reveals those extant cartularies to be fundamentally varied, and not an exclusive ‘category’ as such. This in turn allows historians to appreciate the dynamic nature of cartularies as sources for documents, and to eschew the deeply embedded tendency to see the cartulary simply as a copy of a medieval archive.

This article challenges two orthodoxies concerning Dunfermline's medieval church and abbey. It argues that David I and Malcolm IV were buried not with Robert Bruce, his queen, and Alexander III, but with Queen Margaret (died 1093), her husband, three of David's brothers, and Alexander III's first wife, as the earliest royal burial cluster. This argument dovetails with a reappraisal of the evolution of the medieval abbey. It is concluded that when dedicated in 1150, David's abbey was largely coextensive with his mother's church, only achieving cruciform status by 1180 and Queen Margaret's first translation. Reassigning David I and Malcom IV to another burial cluster strengthens the case for identifying the incumbent of the tomb discovered and excavated at Dunfermline in 1818–19 as Robert Bruce, as also argued for in the two other articles in this series.
