MARGARET, ST (c. 10451093)

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAL-MAR
MARGARET, ST (c. 10451093) , the queen of
Malcolm
  III. Canmore king of
Scotland
 , was the daughter of the English prince
Edward
 , son of Edmund Ironside, and sister of Edgar fEtheling, and was probably born in
Hungary
 . In 1o67 the widow and children of
Edward
  fled from Northumberland with a large number of followers and sought the protection of the Scottish king. The
marriage
  of
Malcolm
  and Margaret soon took place and was followed by several invasions of Northumberland by the Scottish king, probably in support of the claims of his brother-in-law Edgar. These, however, had little result beyond the devastation of the province. Far more important were the effects of this alliance upon the history of
Scotland
 . A considerable portion of the old Northumbrian kingdom had been reduced by the Scottish kings in the previous century, but up to this time the English population had little influence upon the ruling
element
  of the kingdom. Malcolm's
marriage
  undoubtedly improved the condition of the English to a
great
  extent, and under Margaret's sons, Edgar, Alexander I. and
David
  I., the Scottish court practically became anglicized. Margaret died on the 17th of November 1093, four days after her husband and her eldest son Edward, who were slain in an invasion of Northumberland. She rebuilt the monastery of Iona, and was canonized in 1251 on account of her
great
  benefactions to the Church.
See Chronicles of the Picts and Scots (Edinburgh, 1867), edited 1876, by W. F. Skene; and W. F. Skene, Celtic Scotland (Edinburgh).
