General Notes
NOTE:
Saint Margaret the Exile, also known as St. Margaret of SCOTLAND. Canonized in 1250, her feast day is Nov. 16. In 1057 she arrived at the court of Edward the Confessor. Ten years later she was in exile after William defeated Harold at the Battle of Hastings. She fled to Scotland where she was married against her wishes to King Malcolm, to whom she bore six sons and two daughters. Her unlearned and boorish husband grew daily more graceful and Christian under the Queen's graceful influence. Her remains were removed to Escorial, SPAIN, and her head to Douai, FRANCE.
