died she commanded that her body should be carried boldly to 

 Dunfermelyn, and that they should have no fear of the enemy. 

 According to her directions they carried her through the gate 

 of the Castle towards the west, and were not perceived on account 

 of a very thick mist which came over. Queen Margaret's mother 

 Agatha and her sister Christiane became nuns at Newcastle-upon-

This King Malcolm came to King William Rufus at Glou- 

 cester in order to obtain peace. Upon the march a dispute broke 

 out between their subjects. On this account King William re- 

 fused to come to terms unless Malcolm would consent to be 

 judged in his court only. As he would not agree to this the war 

 began again, in which he was killed. The Scots made Malcolm's 

 brother Donald their king, and drove out the English, who had

 him as their king, on condition that he would not bring any 

 English or Normans in again. But in the following year they 

 killed him and chose Donald again to be their king. King 

 William sent Edgar, the son of Edw-ard, the son of Edmond 

 Ironside, into Scotland, with a large army to place his nephew 

 Edgar, the son of Malcolm, in the realm which his uncle Donald 

 had seized.

 others. He was buried at sea. The chronicles of Scotla.id 

 assert that the isles of Scotland ought rightly to be possessed by 

 the King of Norway as they belong to his realm. 



In the year after King Henry Beauclerc was crowned he mar- 

 ried the beautiful maid Maude, daughter of Margaret, the Queen 

 of Scotland; and Archbishop Anslem married them. This marriage 

 of Henry and Maude was the remedy for, and, as the chronicles 

 assert, the removal of the predestined evil, which the two holy 

 men foretold to St. Edward, during his exile in Normandy. 

 They said that there would not be a remedv for the adversities
