It drives me crackers as his latest assertion is that he is related to Margaret of Wessex, England, who was actually born in Hungary where the family was exiled, who then became Queen Margaret of Scotland when she married the rascally Malcolm !!!, and then Saint Margaret of Scotland (the only Scottish saint). Margaret is the one responsible for reforming the religious practices of the church in Scotland at that time to conform to those of Rome. She was canonised 1250. > > She was born ca 1045 and died at Edinburgh Castle 1093 a couple of days after her husband Malcolm III (Canmore=Bighead) and son Edward were killed at the Battle of Alnwick, Northumbria (England). > > ------------------------------- > > WHEN REPLYING to a post please remember to snip most of the earlier message.
