| Note* | | He was born at Falaise, the bastard son of Robert, Duke of Normandy, by Arlette, a tanner's daughter. On his father's death in 1035, the nobles accepted him as duke, but his youth was passed in difficulty and danger. When in 1047 the lords of the western part of the duchy rebelled, Henri I of France came to his help and the rebels were defeated at Val-des-Dunes. In 1051 he visited his cousin, Edward the Confessor, and received the promise of the English succession. He married Matilda, daughter of Baudouin V, Count of Flanders, in 1053. In the next ten years William repulsed two French invasions, and in 1063 conquered Maine. Although he was never keen on actual capital punishment, William the Bastard could get touchy about jokes too near the bone and, when he captured the town of Alencon that had displayed flayed skins on its walls in allusion to the tanner's trade (his maternal grandfather, Fulbert, had been a tanner), he chopped the right hand and left foot off each citizen to teach them a lesson about laughing last. Probably in 1064, Harold was at his court and swore to help him gain the English crown on Edward's death. When, however, Edward died in 1066, Harold became king. William laid his claim and, on October 14, defeated Harold at the battle of Hastings or Senlac. Harold was slain and William was crowned on December 25. The west and north of England were subdued in 1068; but next year the north revolted, and William devastated the country between York and Durham. The constitution under William assumed a feudal aspect, the old national assembly becoming a council of the king's tenants-in-chief, and all title to land being derived from his grant. The Domesday Book contains the land settlement. He also brought the English Church into closer relations with Rome. The Conqueror's rule was stern and orderly. In 1070 there was a rebellion in the Fen Country and, under the leadership of Hereward the Wake, the rebels held out for some time in the Isle of Ely. English exiles were sheltered by the Scottish king, Malcolm, who plundered the northern shires; but William in 1072 compelled Malcolm to do him homage at Abernethy. In 1073 he reconquered Maine. He also made a successful expedition into South Wales. His eldest son, Robert, rebelled against him in Normandy in 1079. Having entered on a war with Philippe I of France in 1087, William burned Mantes. As he rode through the burning town, his horse stumbled and he received an injury of which he died at Rouen on September 9. He left Normandy to his son Robert, and England to William.1 |

| Note* | | was of very small stature and very little is known about her early years. Being a descendant of the English King Alfred The Great was one reason why William, Duke of Normandy, sought her in marriage. Apparently she refused him as she did not want to be married to a bastard. Furious, William forced entry to her room and gave her a beating. However, this rather unconventional behaviour resulted in her changing her mind and they married in 1051, although they had to wait until 1059 before the papal dispensation arrived. William relied heavily on her and she acted as regent in Normandy whenever he was absent. After the conquest of England, she was crowned William The Conqueror's queen at Winchester. She went to the north of England with him and at Selby gave birth to the future King Henry I, probably their tenth or eleventh child. In the year 1069 she went back to the Duchy of Normandy where she remained in charge. When she became ill in 1083, William The Conqueror hurried over from England to be with her. However, she died on 2 November 1083 at Caen and was buried there.1 |

king Malcolm III "Canmore" of Scotland1
M, b. circa 1033, d. 13 November 1093
| Nickname | | 'Ceanmor (Longneck)' (?)3 |
| Name Variation | | Malcolm Canmore mac Duncan III, King of Scotland3 |
| Birth* | circa 1033 | Atholl, Perth, Tayside, Scotland3 |
| Anecdote* | 1054 | In the year 1054 twenty-three year old Malcolm returned to Scotland, after a period in hiding in England from the ruthless King Macbeth. He had come back to Scotland to reclaim the throne from Macbeth, who had taken it from his father, King Duncan, in 1040. Malcolm and his army defeated Macbeth twice in battle; the second time at Lumphanan, where Macbeth and his son were both killed, leaving the throne for anyone with royal connections to take. Malcolm was crowned king on 25th April 1058. King Malcolm III had only been on the throne of Scotland for a short time when he sent troops to raid, loot and destroy the villages of Northumbria. This act of force was a shock and a blow to England, since King Edward the Confessor of England had helped Malcolm gain the Scottish throne in the first place. Malcolm's aim, and life-long personal ambition, was to conquer northern England. His strikes were initially successful and many innocent people lost their money and their homes. In spite of the attacks, however, England retained control in the north. The Coming of the Normans. Only seven years later further events in the north caused the downfall of the English King. Harold Hardrada, King of Norway attempted to take over Northumbria and Malcolm decided to help the Norwegians. This was partly because his (first) wife was related to Harold Hardrada, and partly because he wanted a share of Northumbria. Edward the Confessor had died at the end of 1065 and Harold Godwinson had taken the throne, to the fury of William, Duke of Normandy, who had understood from his kinsman, Edward, that he would succeed him. In fact, when Harold Godwinson had been blown off course during a storm in the English Channel in 1064 William had made Harold promise to support William’s claim to the throne as the price for his freedom. When the King of England heard about the Norse invasion, he marched his army northwards. The English defeated the Norwegians, but were forced to return to the south immediately because an invasion force led by Duke William had landed. Harold met William at Hastings where in a great battle the King of England was fatally wounded. According to the Bayeux Tapestry, Harold was killed either by an arrow piercing his eye or by the sword of a Norman knight. William marched to Westminster Abbey where he crowned himself King of England. This event is known as the Norman Conquest; it changed the course of British history. Many Saxons fled north to Scotland after the arrival of the Normans. Among these were Edgar Atheling, last of King Alfred’s line, and his sister Margaret. In 1070 Malcolm married Margaret, Edgar's sister, in Dunfermline and in the same year he invaded England. This was partly so that he could help his brother-in-law, Edgar Atheling gain control of the English throne, but mainly because he wanted to extend his Kingdom. Through Margaret, his second wife, he had a slight, but positive claim to the throne of England. (This was because Edgar and Margaret were the grandchildren of King Edmund Ironside of England.) This meant that Malcolm could try to become the King of both Scotland and England. When William discovered Malcolm's link to royalty, he knew he must crush any such ideas of Malcolm’s. William marched an army up to Scotland in 1072 and met the king of Scotland at Stirling. Edgar Atheling abandoned Canmore and fled to Flanders in Belgium. When Malcolm saw the size of William's army, he promised that he would not hurt, or encroach on, the English or their kingdom. He also made the decision to pay homage to the Monarch of England. This decision was to have fateful consequences for the independence of Scotland in later, even more dangerous times. For about seven years, Malcolm kept to his promise. For no known reason though, in 1079 he once more invaded the north of England. He viciously attacked Northumberland in Scottish style, which meant that Northumberland was savagely torn apart. In the following year the Normans again attacked Scotland. They decided to build a castle over the river Tyne for more protection, and to stand watch against further Scottish attacks. Malcolm was then, of course reminded of his peace agreement, and pledged to keep it for another twelve years. Queen Margaret (St. Margaret) Whilst all of this was taking place, Malcolm's wife Margaret put all of her time and effort as wife and Queen of Scotland into religion and into creating a more civilised court in Scotland. Intelligent and very religious, she was determined to modernise Scotland by introducing ideas from England and Europe. 1. She brought softness to the harsh kingdom of the north by copying some of the ways of the Normans. She introduced spiced meats and French wines; lovely tapestries and rich clothes; dancing and singing of ballads. 2. She taught the priests to live simply and without wealth, giving their whole lives to Christian belief. 3. She made Sunday into a day of worship. 4. Around the time of 1070 she invited three English Benedictine monks from Canterbury to build a monastery at Dunfermline. This was the start of monasteries in Scotland. The monks brought with them new skills in farming and building. 5. She built a new chapel in Edinburgh Castle, in Norman style. It is the oldest standing church in Scotland today. St. Margaret spent many hours there in prayer. 6. She gave large sums of money and land to the Church to help the poor 7. Margaret also launched the Queen's Ferry over the Firth of Forth to St. Andrews. Her life of charity and kindness impressed the rough and ambitious King Malcolm so much that he supported his wife's good works. He allowed his wealth to be donated to charity and on one occasion he fed three hundred needy subjects in his royal hall. Before the twelve-year peace agreement that he had made with the Normans had expired Malcolm Canmore launched another invasion of northern England, in 1091. He chose a time when William the Conqueror's son William Rufus, who had by this time succeeded his father, was not in Britain, but Normandy. Edgar Atheling returned from Belgium to take part in the invasion. Even although Malcolm Canmore had pledged to help Atheling regain the English throne, he was much more interested in putting his own family on the throne. However, the English repulsed the Scottish invasion and for the third time Malcolm made a peace agreement. The English built a castle at Carlisle to patrol the border. You would have thought that the invasion attempts would have stopped then, but they didn't as in 1093 Canmore once more attacked England. But he was killed during the raid and his son died also from wounds received. When the news reached poor Margaret she was already very sick with a terminal illness; she died four days later. Malcolm's life as a King was nothing more than a reckless baron robber. He never did help his brother-in-law succeed to the English throne. In fact he didn't even have any success for himself. Again and again he would try to invade England, but he never really achieved anything. The excuse Canmore gave for continually invading England was to advance his brother in law’s claim. But in-fact Canmore was nothing more than a greedy, vicious tyrant. He cared about nothing apart from doing things for his own gain. They were such an unlikely couple; Margaret was loving and caring, she was often called Saint Margaret. He was dangerous and duplicitous, nothing like his gentle wife. No matter how much Margaret tried to convert her husband from his wrong doings, she never succeeded. Margaret led a successful life in the church, while Malcolm tried, brutally, to gain control and power over his brother-in-law's homeland. Margaret was interested in helping others and she did a lot of work in the church. Malcolm on the other hand, was greedy and a tyrant. Two separate lives, in two separate worlds, brought together by fate.4 |
