St. Margaret of Scotland (1046-1093), the beautiful and talented daughter of Prince Edward, was the wife of an infamously cruel husband, King Malcom III, over whom she had a marvelously positive influence, eventually managing to help him control his quick temper and become a model ruler. The mother of eight (two of whom are also regarded as saints), a reconciler and reformer, scholar and servant of the poor, this saintly queen built churches and monasteries and fostered education and love for the poor. Because of her marital history, women of every age have been able to relate to her. She stands at a key point in British history. Part I tells of her early years; Part II, the wisdom with which she faced new ways of seeing and doing things; and Part III presents the author Turgot's account of her life. |
