• Notes

  Canonized as a saint in 1251. English by birth, Margaret was raised in Hungary. She is credited with bringing to the court of Malcom III "good manners...splendor, and a greater use of ceremonial, which could only serve to enhance the prestige of Scotland among the kingdoms of Christendom." (according to Caroline Bingham in her book, "Kings and Queens of Scotland", published by Taplinger Publishing Co. in 1976). Margaret had a great influence in increasing the direct influence of Rome in church affairs.
