Her widowed mother fled with the children from Northumberland and found refuge with the Scottish king. Margaret was
canonized in 1251 because of her favors to the church, including rebuilding of the Iona monastery. She died four days
after her husband and eldest son Edward were slain at Alnwick Castle. {-Encycl. Brit., 1956, 14:875.} Her feast day is
Nov. 16th.

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. Canonised in 1250 and her feast day is 16th November.
