MARGARET (12831290)

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 702 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAL-MAR
MARGARET (12831290) , titular queen of
Scotland
 , and generally known as the " maid of Norway," was the daughter of Eric II. king of Norway, and Margaret, daughter of Alexander III. king of
Scotland
 . Her
mother
  died soon after Margaret's
birth
 ; and in 1284 the estates of Scotland decided that if Alexander died childless the crown should pass to his granddaughter. In
March
  1286 Alexander was killed and Margaret became queen. The English king
Edward
  I. was closely watching affairs in Scotland, and in 1289 a
marriage
  was arranged between the infant queen and
Edward
 's son, afterwards Edward II. Margaret sailed from Norway and reached the Orkneys, where she died. about the end of September 1290. The news of this occurrence
was first made known in a
letter
  dated the 7th of October 1290. Some mystery, however, surrounded her death, and about 1300 a woman from
Leipzig
  declared she was Queen Margaret. The impostor, if she were such, was burned as a witch at Bergen.
See A. Lang, History of Scotland, vol. i. (Edinburgh, 1904).
