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.
