Margaret of Scotland

Margaret of Scotland
(c. 1045–93)
   Queen and Saint.
   Margaret was the grand-daughter of King Edmund Ironside of England and the wife of King Malcolm III of Scotland. She was famous for her piety and charity. She was determined that the Scottish Church should follow the practices of Rome and, under her guidance, many reforms took place. Her biography was written by Turgot, Bishop of St Andrews, and records both her public successes and her private austerities. She was the mother of two Scottish kings and the great-grandmother of King Henry II of England. She was canonised in 1250, and remains an important saint in Scotland.
