    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]
