Narrative

Name Prefix:<NPFX> St.
Name Suffix:<NSFX> First Queen Of Scotland "The Exile"
Princess of England (Saxon). She was one of the fairest and most accomplished
maidens in all England. With her mother, her brother and her younger sister,
she had taken refuge in Scotland during the Norman Conquest

Canonised 1250 and her feast day in 16th November. in 1057 she arrived at the English 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 Douai, France.

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
