Mary OF SCOTLAND

Notes:

Malcolm III, grandson of Malcolm II., King of Scotland, called Canmore (Caen Mor, or great head) because of the large size of his head, was born in 1024, before his father was called to the throne, and he became king at the time of his victory over Macbeth in 1039, remaining so until his death in 1093. He was buried at Icelmkill. He married about 1059 (1) Ingibiorg, and about 1069 (2) Margaret (St. Margaret), daughter of Edward the Exile (Etheling). Margaret died in Edinburgh Castle of grief at the death of her husband, November 16, 1093, and was buried at Dumfermline. In 1250 Margaret was declared a saint and on June 19, 1259 her body was taken from the original stone coffin and placed in a shrine of pinewood set with gold and precious stones near the high altar. In Scotland the grace cup is called St. Margaret's blessing. When Scotland became Protestant the remains of St. Margaret and her husband, Malcolm III., were carried to Spain and placed in the Escorial, built in her honor by King Philip II, of Spain. There was issue by the first marriage with Ingibiorg.

Malcolm married St. Margaret OF WESSEX in 1068 in Dunfermline Abbey, Fife, Scotland. Margaret (daughter of Edward "the Atheling" OF ENGLAND and Agafia OF HUNGARY) was born about 1045 in Hungary; died on 16 Nov 1093 in Edinburg Castle, Edinburg, Scotland; was buried in Dunfermline Abbey, Fife, Scotland.

Notes:

Margaret, The Saint (St. Margaret of Scotland), sole heiress of the Saxon royal line, married Malcolm III Canmore, King of Scotland, descended from a long line of Scottish royalty. See the Scottish lineage elsewhere in Volume I. She died in 1093.

Notes:

Duncan I. (Maldred), King of Scotland, was slain by his cousin, Macbeth, local chief of Moray in 1041. One source puts his death on August 14, 1040. He was also the King of Strathclyde. He married about 1030, a cousin (some say the sister) of Siward, Earl of Northumbria. Wurts records that he married Algitha, daughter of Uchtred, Earl of Northumberland and his wife, Elgifu, daughter of King Ethelred II.

Duncan married Alfaed SIBYLLA OF NORTHUMBRIA about 1030. Alfaed (daughter of Sigurd BIOMSSON, Danish Earl of Northumbria and Aefflaed OF BERNICIA) was born in in Scotland. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Edward the Exile (Outlaw) (Atheling) fled the country and lived at the court of Hungary until recalled by his father's half-brother, Edward the Confessor. He was never crowned king, as he died in London immediately after his return in 1057, and was buried at St. Paul's Cathedral. While on the continent, he married Agatha of Hungary, daughter of Emperor Henry II. of Germany (Bruno of Germany). Edward was the founder of the House of Burgoyne.

Edward married Agafia OF HUNGARY in Kiev. Agafia (daughter of Yaroslav I "the Wise" of Novgorod of Kiev and Ingegerd Olofsdotter of Sweden) was born about 1021 in Braunschweig, Prussia; died about 1068 in Scotland. [Group Sheet]

Crinan married Princess Berthoc OF SCOTLAND, Heiress of Scone. Berthoc (daughter of Malcolm II KING OF SCOTLAND and Sigurd OF SCOTLAND) was born about 984 in Atholl, Perth, Perthshire, Scotland; and died. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Beatrice was the eldest daughter of Malcolm II, married Crinan the Thane, Lord of the Isles, hereditary Abbot of Dunkeld, born in 975, died in 1045. She was the aunt of Macbeth. They had a son, Duncan.

Notes:

Siward led Malcolm's army as it advanced on Scotland by land and by sea. Siward was a Northumberland-Danish warlord. The English met little resistance from the Scots in the lowlands and were confronted by Macbeth just outside Scone, the Scottish capital. The "Annals of Ulstar" maintain that 3,000 Scots were killed and 1,500 English and Danes slain. Still, it was far from a vistory and Siward had to withdraw his troops from Scotland, Malcom having to be content with lordship over Cumbria. the next year, Siward died and in 1057 Malcom alone had to lead the battle against Macbeth.

Sigurd married Aefflaed OF BERNICIA. Aefflaed (daughter of Ealdred OF BERNICIA) was born about 997 in Bernicia, Northumbria, England; and died. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Edmund II., Ironsides, was born in 989 and succeeded his father in April 1016. In this year he fought six battles, but through treachery he was completely overthrown at Assandun, in Essex. He and Canute the Dane agreed to divide the kingdom. He was chosen king of England by the Londoners on his father's death, April, 1016, while Canute was elected at Southampton by the Witan. Edmund hastily levied an army in the west, defeated Canute twice, raised the siege of London, and again routed the Danes. Levying a fresh army, he defeated them at Otford, his last victory. At Ashingdon in Essex, after a desperate fight, he was routed. By compromise with Canute, the latter retained Mercia and Northumbria, Edmund all the south and the headship, the survivor to succeed to the whole. A few weeks later Edmund died, in 1016, and Canute became King of England without a rival. It is said that the traitorous Edric Streona perhaps murdered Edmund on November 30, 1016, shortly after peace was made. Edmund II. married Ealgyth (Algitha), widow of Sigefrith the Dane. She died in 1014.

Edmund married Ealdgyth OF ENGLAND in 1015 in Malmsbury, Wiltshire, England. Ealdgyth (daughter of Mocar HIGH REVE OF WESSEX and Edgitha OF MERCIA) was born about 986 in East Anglia, Wessex, England; and died. [Group Sheet]
