Called Sainte Margaret of England. She was a Saxon princess who had fled from the Normans to Scotland, where she married Malcolm III . She was very devout, civilized, and strong-minded. Malcolm apparently had to work hard to convince her to give up her dream of being a nun to marry him. She introduced the English language and English monastic customs to Scotland. She had been brought up in the Court of Hungary, and brought to Scotland the cultural influences of the European Renaissance. She was sick in Edinburgh Castle when she received the news of Malcolm's death in 1093, and that their elder son Edward had been killed with him. Within three weeks she died. She was canonized in 1251
