Queen Margaret of Scotland

Eileen Dunlop

Margaret, the queen and the saint, has occupied a place somewhere between legend and history in the minds of nine generations of Scots; countless churches, schools and other places are named after her. Using ancient sources and modern scholarship, the author has taken a fresh look at a most remarkable life.
