[dunbar_tree.FTW]
Malcolm III Canmore became king after the defeat of Macbeth at Lumphanan.
He had spent fifteen years in his youth at the court of Edward the
Confessor and after the Conquest gave asylum to Edgar the Aetheling and his
sisters, marrying one of them in 1070. {-see Encyclopedia Britannica,1956
Ed.,14:723,20:146:} "The kingdom of which Malcolm III took possession was a
Celtic kingdom, though one of its provinces was peopled by Angles. Local
and tribal custom prevailed alike in Scotland proper (the district north of
the Forth and Clyde) and in Galloway; the speech was Celtic; the court and
administrative system, so far as the latter can be said to have existed,
were Celtic. The church still retained, to a large extent, the structure
and customs of Irish Christianity, although in the beginning of the 8th
century a powerful Pictish monarch had ordered his people to keep the Roman
date for Easter.... The disorganized state of the Scottish church, and
some peculiar customs which marked its ritual, shocked the conscience of
Malcolm's wife, an English princess, Margaret, who after the Norman
Conquest, sought refuge in Scotland along with her brother, Edgar the Athel
ing. ...Margaret was a woman of saintly life - she was canonized a century
and a half after her death - and her own desire was to be a nun. [She
tried but failed to bring the Scottish church into full compliance with
Rome and its systems.] ...Her most important personal achievements were
the introduction of an English-speaking court and of English-speaking
clergy, and the education of her children in English ways and traditions."
Malcolm founded the house of Canmore which reigned for more than 200 years;
thus he restored the House of Atholl. His reign was 1058-1093; he was
crowned at Scone.Malcolm married Margaret, Saint of Scotland in 1070 in Dunfermline, Scotland. of (daughter of Edward, The Atheling and Agatha, of Hungary) was born in 1045; died on 16 Nov 1093 in Edinburgh Castle; was buried in Dumfermline, Scotland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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.Children:

"Ancestral Roots..." (Balt., 1992) 148-23: "The line is in question at this
point. Judith may have been the child of the 1st marriage. ...In fact,
Adelaide may not even have been Lambert's wife."Children:

12. Warenne, William de (son of Warenne, Raoul ("Ralph") de and Normandy, Beatrice of); died on 24 Jun 1088; was buried in Lewes, England. Other Events and Attributes:
- Occupation: Earl of Surrey
Notes:
[dunbar_tree.FTW]
First Earl of Surrey; Companion of William the Conqueror; Lord of Reisgate, Conningsburgh and Bellencombre. Created Earl of Surrey, 1088. Was at Battle of Hastings, 1066. Founded the Cluniac Priory of St. Pancras, Lewes, 1077. Had other grants at
Lewes, Castle Acre in Norfolk, etc. {per "The Extinct and Dormant Peerages of the Northern Counties of England," by John William Clay (London: 1913, p. 236).} The Warenne family originated at Varenne, Seine-Inf., two miles south of Arques on the River
Varenne, and their seat and castle town became Bellencombre to the north {per "Anglo-Norman Families," Publications of the Harleian Society, 1951 (Vol. 103). An ancestry of William, d. 1088, is given in "Royal Ancestors of Magna Charta Barons," Carr
P. Collins, Jr., Dallas, 1959.} His share of the "spoil" in England following the Conquest included 300 manors and Lewes Castle. He was wounded at the siege of Pevensey and may have died as a
result. William was Count of Warenne in Normandy and is first mentioned regarding the battle of Mortemer in 1054; he attended the Council of Lillebonne where the decision was made to invade England. He was among the powerful Norman barons who
accompanied the Conqueror. In 1067 he was one of the barons entrusted with the government of England in the Conqueror's absence in Normandy. He is buried in the Lewes Chapter House. For a discussion of issues in identifying his ancestry, see
"Falaise Roll" (Baltimore: Gen. Pub. Co.), pp. 183-4.William married Gundrada before 1077. Gundrada died on 27 May 1085. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
13. Gundrada died on 27 May 1085. Notes:
whose brother was the Flemish Earl of Chester {see "History and Genealogy of the
Warren Family," (This source mistakenly attributes Gundrada is buried in the Chapter House at Lewes on the Isle of Wight (See contribution by David Ross); ) Thomas Warren (1902); "Gundrada de Warenne," Edmond Chester
Waters, Hammersmith, England, 10/1884; "William the Conqueror: The Norman
Impact Upon England," David C. Douglas, Eyre & Spottiswoode, London, 1966,
p. 267: "...a certain Gerbod, who was probably advocatus of the abbey of
Saint-Bertin. Described as `Flandrensis' (of Flanders), he was apparently
the son of another advocatus of the same name, and in 1070 he was entrusted
with the earldom of Chester....his sister, Gundrada, married William de
Warenne." William and Gundrada also had Rainald or Reginald, and Edith.}
M.J.Crispin {"Fallaise Roll": 1938, p.52,} believes that Gundrada is
daughter of Queen Matilda, citing a charter of William de Warenne to the
Lewes priory in which he states that his donations, among others, were for
Queen Matilda, the mother of his wife. "It is conjectured that Gundrada
[sic] and Gherbod the Fleming, created earl of Chester, her brother, were
the children of Queen Matilda by a former marriage, probably clandestine,
and therefore not reported by the historians of the day." Crispin believes
that the marriage to Gundrada is one reason William Rufus was so generous
in bestowing estates on William de Warenne. This line of reasoning is
opposed by David C. Douglas in his biography of William the Conqueror (see
Appendix).
was buried in the Cluniac Priory of St Pancras (which she founded) at Lewes in East Sussex. Initially buried before the high altar, her bones and those of her husband William de Warrenne were later moved to the Chapter House of the Priory when it was built in the 13th century. The priory was demolished at the Dissolution in 1537. The bones in their lead caskets were uncovered in 1845 when a cutting for a railway was being dug through the remains of the Priory. They were re-interred in the church of St John the Baptist which was once the hospitium of the priory. Her tomb slab can be seen in the Gundrada chapel in that church.
