    He was defeated at the Battle of the Standard, 1138, where he had sided
    with Matilda. He was devoted to the church and founded five bishoprics and
    many monasteries. He "energetically forwarded the process of feudalization
    which had been initiated by his immediate predecessors."{-Encycl.Brit.,
    1956, 7:78; 20:147} David reigned 1124-53, reorganizing the kingdom along
    Norman lines. During his reign Normans and Flemings settled in Scotland

    Notes:

    [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]


  2. 5.  Margaret, Saint of Scotland was born in 1045 (daughter of Edward, The Atheling and Agatha, of Hungary); died on 16 Nov 1093 in Edinburgh Castle; was buried in Dumfermline, Scotland.

    Notes:

    [dunbar_tree.FTW]

    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.

    Notes:

    [dunbar_tree.FTW]

    Waltheof II, Earl of Northumberland, Huntingdon and Northampton and Lord
    of Hallamshire, Wolthamstow and Toteenhard; married Lady Judith Lens who
    was the King's cousin and who founded the Nunnery of Elstow. {Cf. ID2151 -
    apparently there is a discrepancy in fathers; information for ID2614 from
    "Royal Ancestors of Magna Charta Barons," by Carr P. Collins, Jr., Dallas,
    1959, p. 143 - not always reliable.} Waltheof II was beheaded on St. Giles'
    Hill near Winchester.

    II married Lens, Judith of in 1070. Judith (daughter of Boulogne, Count Of Lens Lambert of and Normandy, Adelaide of) was born in 1054. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  4. 7.  Lens, Judith of was born in 1054 (daughter of Boulogne, Count Of Lens Lambert of and Normandy, Adelaide of).

    Notes:

    [dunbar_tree.FTW]

    "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."

  1. 8.  MacCrinan, King of Scots Duncan I (son of Crinan, Grimus and Bethoc); died on 14 Aug 1040 in Elgin.

    Notes:

    [dunbar_tree.FTW]

    Duncan married a daughter of Siward, Danish Earl of Northumbria (a Viking) and his first wife Elfleda of Northumbria; Siward, d. 1055, is son of Earl Berne of the Royal House of Denmark. Duncan succeeded his maternal grandfather, Malcolm II, in 1034
    ("the first example of inheritance of the Scottish throne in the direct line"); previously he was King of Cumbria (ruling from Strathclyde){-Encycl.Brit.,1956,7:736,20:146}. He was slain by his own general, Macbeth. His male line ruled Scotland until
    the death of Alexander III in 1286. Duncan is the first king of the House of Atholl. http://www.magoo.com/hugh/scotskings.html (in 2002) states: "Acceded to the throne on November 25, 1034. Considered the first 'general ruler.' In his reign, the
    north and west of Scotland were conquered by Northmen under Thorfinn. 'Duncan (http://hometown.aol.com/Skyelander/timeline.html), made King of Strathclyde after the battle of Carham, helps kill his grandfather Malcolm II and becomes King of a (largely)
    united Scotland.' Married Aelflaed. He was killed in battle by one of his commanders, Macbeth, on August 14, 1040, at Bothnagowan, near Elgin, Morayshire. Interred on Iona. "Duncan I (http://members.aol.com/Skyelander/mediev20.html) of Scotland, was
    actually, (as opposed to the more well known Shakespeare version), an impetuous and spoiled young man whose six years of kingship brought glory neither to Scotland nor to his family." He married Aeflaed (Sybil) of Northumbria about 1030 and was the
    father of Malcolm III and Donald III."

    Duncan married Northumberland, Sibyl of on Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 9.  Northumberland, Sibyl of (daughter of Oswulf, Earl Northumberland).

    Notes:

    [dunbar_tree.FTW]

    AEM is confused as to her parents!

  3. 10.  Edward, The Atheling was born in 1016 (son of Edmund, King of England II); died in 1057 in London, Middlesex, England.

    The married Agatha, of Hungary about 1044 in Kiev, Ukraine. of (daughter of Yaroslav, Grand Prince of Kiev I and Sweden, Inguigard of) died after 1064. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  4. 11.  Agatha, of Hungary (daughter of Yaroslav, Grand Prince of Kiev I and Sweden, Inguigard of); died after 1064.

    Notes:

    [dunbar_tree.FTW]

    Agatha's parents are not proven to my satisfaction.  I cannot tell why she was sometimes known as "of Hungary."
    "The Plantagenet Ancestry," W.H.Turton (Balt.: Gen.Pub.Co., 1968) identifies Agatha "of Germany" as dau. of Bruno of Germany, Bishop of Augsburg and brother of Emperor Henry II. Ernest-Friedrich Kraentzler, "The Ancestry of Richard Plantagenet and
    Cecily de Neville," p. 58, states that Agatha is daughter of Ludolph von Braunschweig, Count im Derlingo, Marquis von Westfriesland, b. 1008, d. 04-23-1038, m, 1020 Gertrude von Egisheim. See Szabolcs de Vajay, "Agatha, Mother of St. Margaret, Queen
    of Scotland," in Duquesne Review, vol. 7, no. 2, Spring, 1962, pp. 71-80, with tables.
    "Ancestral Roots of Certain American Colonists...," Frederick L. Weis, 7th Edition (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1992), p. 2, gives the current status of the discussion of Agatha's parentage: "For her ancestry, see The American
    Genealogist 54:231. But see also Frank Barlow, "The Feudal Kingdom of England, 16-17; Ritchie, "The Normans in Scotland," 389-392, and Szaboles de Vajay, [referenced above - AEM ] The parentage suggested in the last [i.e. de Vajay] reference is the
    most probable. See also Gabriel Ronay, "The Lost King of England" (1989), 117-121."
    In "The Saints of the Catholic Church" it is written that she was a sister of Gisela of Bavaria who was married to king (St) Sthephen of Hungary (he died August 5th 1038).

    Notes:

    W.H.Turton, "The Plantagenet Ancestry" (Balt.: Gen. Pub. Co., 1968), p.
    141, states that Syward is son of Biorn (of the Danish royal house)(son of
    Ulfius, son of Shratlingus, son of Ursus).

    Lambert was slain in battle at Lille. Adelaide may not have been married to
    him, or Judith may have been daughter of first wife - see "Ancestral Roots..."
    (Baltimore, 1992 - 7th edition), p. 130.
