Notes par Margaret

Margaret: She was born 29 Sep 1240 and named after Eleanor’s sister, the queen of France. She md. Alexander III of Scotland at York, in Dec 1251, when she was eleven. The Scottish lords would not let her visit her parents after she was whisked away farther north. A messenger to Windsor said Margaret was unhappy. Her parents took action and went up there with an armed force, in 1255. Her mother comforted her. Margaret even visited them twice, one in 1256 and then in 1260, when she was heavily pregnant. She determined to have her baby in England. She may have deceived her husband and Scottish lords as to how far along she was. She intended to give birth at Windsor, “with her understanding and affectionate mother” (Howell p. 103). She died on 26 Feb 1275, predeceasing her mother, who mourned deeply for her. All this shows that Eleanor was a hands-on and not a distant mother, as so many queens were back in the Medieval Age.
