    Note: This memorial is a Cenotaph. Her original memorial Gisela von Bayern Gisela also known as Blessed Gisela of Hungary, was born about 985 and died on May 7, 1065. She was a Hungarian Roman Catholic saint, and the first queen consort of Hungary as the spouse of Saint Stephen of Hungary. Gisela was a daughter of Henry II, Duke of Bavaria and Gisela of Burgundy. She married King Stephen I of Hungary in 995 as a part of Hungary's policy of opening up to the West. The couple had a son, Saint Emeric. She lived a respectable life and helped Christianize the Hungarian people. After the death of her husband Stephen, she was forced to leave Hungary. She lived in the nunnery of Niedernburg in Passau, where she died. Her grave is a well-known holy place. Her canonization was attempted in the 18th century but failed. She was declared Blessed in 1975. Her memorial days are May 7 and February 1. Gisela and her husband were not buried together, and nearly a thousand years later on the weekend of May 4, 1996 their bodies as well as their spirits were reunited. They preserved the remains of King Stephen's right hand and it was brought back together with a bone taken from the arm of Gisela. Both are now safely protected in glass and gold cases and are now displayed in the basilica in the western town of Veszprém, where Gisela once lived.

    Note: Mary of Scotland Born 1082 Died 1116 Spouse Eustace III, Count of Boulogne Issue Matilda, Queen of England House Dunkeld Father Malcolm III of Scotland Mother Margaret of Wessex Mary of Scotland (1082–1116) was the younger daughter of Malcolm III of Scotland and his second wife, Margaret of Wessex. Mary was a member of the House of Dunkeld by birth, and was Countess of Boulogne by marriage. In 1086, Mary and her sister, Matilda, were sent by their parents to Romsey Abbey. Their maternal aunt, Christina, was abbess there. The girls spent their early life at the monastery with their aunt, where they also received part of their education. Some time before 1093, they went to Wilton Abbey, which also had a reputation as a centre of learning, to finish their education.[1] Matilda received many proposals for marriage but refused them all for the time being. Matilda finally left the monastery in 1100 to marry King Henry I of England. The marriage was controversial because it was not clear whether the girls had been veiled as nuns. Mary herself left the abbey in 1096. Matilda wanted her to also marry, so Henry I arranged a match with Eustace III, Count of Boulogne.[2] The couple had a daughter, Matilda, who succeeded Eustace and later became Queen of England. Mary died in 1116, nine years before her husband. She was buried at the Cluniac abbey at Bermondsey.[3] References Honeycutt, Lois (2003). Matilda of Scotland: a Study in Medieval Queenship.

    Note: 1. EUSTACHE [III] de Boulogne (-1125 or after). His parentage is specified in his donation to Saint-Bertin dated 1122, for the souls of "Eustacii comitis patris mei et Yde matris mee comitisse"[476]. He is not named as one of her sons by "Ida comitisse Boloniensis" in the latter's charter for the soul of her husband[477]. William of Tyre records him as brother of Godefroi and Baudouin, naming him last of the three[478]. It is not known whether this indicates that he was the youngest of the three brothers, or was simply a reflection of his less significant role in affairs in Palestine. His inheritance of the paternal possessions and titles suggests that he was the oldest brother, at any rate older than his brother Baudouin. He succeeded as Comte de Boulogne, Comte de Lens. This would normally be an indication of his seniority in the family. However, given the superior position of his brother Godefroi as Duke of Lower Lotharingia, it may have been decided that the less important paternal inheritance would pass to a younger son. He was a member of the company of Robert II Count of Flanders on the First Crusade, joining his brothers after arriving in Constantinople in 1097[479]. Albert of Aix records the arrival in Constantinople of "Robertus Normannorum comes, Stephanus Blesensis, Eustachius frater prædicti Ducis", dated to early 1097 from the context[480]. In Palestine in 1099, he returned to Boulogne soon after. "Eustacius Bolonie comes" confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Samer by charter dated Jul 1112, subscribed by "Cononis de Fieules, Eustacii et Rogerii filiorum eius…"[481]. Albert of Aix records that Baudouin appointed "fratri Eustachio" as his successor on his deathbed if he would come to Jerusalem, or if he failed to come "Baldewinus de Burg"[482]. A legation left Jerusalem for Boulogne in Apr 1118 to invite him to succeed. Eustache left Boulogne for Jerusalem, but when he reached Apulia he received news that Baudouin du Bourg had been chosen as king. He refused to press his claim further, and retired to the Cluniac monastery at Rumilly in [1125]. "Eustachius olim comes Boloniensis nunc autem…monachus Cluniacensis" donated property to Cluny by charter dated 1125 which names "Maria uxore mea…[et] Mathildi filia mea", and is subscribed by "Stephani comitis Bolonie, Matildis comitisse"[483]. m (1102) MARY of Scotland, daughter of MALCOLM III "Caennmor/Bighead" King of Scotland & his second wife [St] Margaret of England (-31 May 1116 or 18 Apr 1118, bur Bermondsey Priory). Orderic Vitalis records that their mother sent Mary and her sister Eadgyth to be brought up by her sister Christina, nun at Romsey Abbey[484]. Florence of Worcester records that Henry I King of England arranged the marriage of "Mariam reginæ sororem" and "Eustatio Bononensium comiti" in [1102][485]. Her marriage is also recorded by Orderic Vitalis, who also names her daughter[486]. The Genealogica comitum Buloniensium records that "Eustachius, frater Balduini regis Iheruslame" married "Mariam filiam regis Scotiæ"[487]. The 12th century Cronica Regum Scottorum records the death "II Kal Jun" in 1116 of "Maria…comitissa" and her burial "apud Bermundseiam"[488]. The Chronicle of John of Fordun records that "Mary countess of Bouillon" died in "the third year before her sister’s death"[489]. Comte Eustache [III] & his wife had one child: a) MATHILDE de Boulogne ([1103/05]-Hedingham Castle, Essex 2/3 or 30 May or 3 Jul 1151, bur Faversham Abbey, Kent). Her parentage is recorded by Orderic Vitalis[490]. The Genealogica comitum Buloniensium names Mathilde daughter of "Eustachius, frater Balduini regis Iheruslame" and his wife "Mariam filiam regis Scotiæ", also recording her marriage with "Stephano, filio Stephani Blesensis comitis"[491]. She succeeded her father as Ctss de Boulogne. "Stephanus comes Bolonie et Morethonii et Mathildis comitissa" confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Samer by charter dated 1141 (presumably misdated because of the donors’ titles), subscribed by "…Eustachius de Fielnes, Willelmus et Rogerus fratres sui…"[492]. She was crowned Queen Consort of England at Westminster Abbey 22 Mar 1136. Robert of Torigny records the death in 1152 of "Matildis uxor Stephani regis Anglorum" and in a later passage her burial "in monasterio Fasseham", recording that she had founded the abbey[493]. m ([1124/25]) ETIENNE de Blois Comte de Mortain, son of ETIENNE Comte de Blois & his wife Adela of England (Blois [1096/97]-Dover 25 Oct 1154, bur Faversham Abbey, Kent). Comte de Boulogne, in right of his wife, before 1125. He succeeded 22 Dec 1135 as STEPHEN King of England, crowned at Westminster Abbey 26 Dec 1135. His first cousin Matilda Lady of the English, daughter of Henry I King of England, disputed Stephen’s accession. During the ensuing civil war in England, Stephen was deposed and imprisoned by Matilda 7-10 April 1141, but restored to the throne 1 Nov 1141. He was crowned a second time at Canterbury Cathedral 1141, and a third time at Lincoln Cathedral 1146. - see below, Part B. Comte Eustache [III] had [three] illegitimate children by unknown mistresses: b) RAOUL de Boulogne (-after [1122/25]). Witness, with his brother Eustache, of their father's charters in 1106 (in favour of St Paul's London) and in [1120/25] (in favour of Roger de Sumerio)[494]. "Rodulfi filii comitis Eustacii" witnessed his father's donation to Saint-Bertin dated 1122[495]. c) EUSTACHE de Boulogne. Witness, with his brother Raoul, of their father's charters in 1106 (in favour of St Paul's London) and in [1120/25] (in favour of Roger de Sumerio)398. m ---. The name of Eustache's wife is not known. Eustache & his wife had one child: i) EUSTACHE (-after [1176/77]). The 1164/65 Pipe Roll names "Eustachius fil Eust fil Com" accounting for relief of his land in Essex/Hertfordshire[496]. The 1176/77 Pipe Roll names "Eustacius filius Eustacii filii Comitis" in Essex and Hertfordshire[497]. d) [GODEFROI (-killed in battle al-Sinnabrah 28 Jun 1113). William of Malmesbury names him "bastard great-nephew [abnepos eius nothus]" of Baudouin I King of Jerusalem[498]. "…Gotafredus nepos regis…" subscribed the charter dated 20 Jun 1112 under which Baudouin I King of Jerusalem confirmed the possessions of the Knights Hospitallers[499]. Murray points out that his being the illegitimate son of Eustache [III] Comte de Boulogne is only one of the various possibilities[500]. He was killed fighting Tughtikin atabeg of Damascus and Mawdud of Mosul.

Orderic Vitalis records that “Stephanus Blesensis palatinus comes” and his wife had “filios quatuor: Guillelmum et Tedbaldum, Stephanumque et Henricum”, adding that Etienne received “comitatum Moritolii in Normannia et multos in Anglia...honores” from “Henrici regis avunculi sui”[316]. Orderic Vitalis records that he was created Comte de Mortain by Henry I King of England "after Guillaume Comte de Mortain was captured at Tinchebrai" (1106)[317]. He was invested with Séez, Alençon, Le Mêle-sur-Sarthe and Almenèches with La Roche-Mabille by his brother Comte Thibaut IV, after the latter was invested with these lands by Henry I King of England who had confiscated them from Robert de Bellême[318]. It is difficult to date this event accurately. Robert de Bellême's territories were confiscated in 1112, but the passage in Orderic follows a description of the rebellion of Robert Giroie which is assumed to have taken place in Jul [1119]. Comte de Boulogne, de iure uxoris, before 1125. "Stephanus comes Bolonie et Morethonii et Mathildis comitissa" confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Samer by charter dated 1141 (presumably misdated because of the donors’ titles), subscribed by "…Eustachius de Fielnes, Willelmus et Rogerus fratres sui…"[319]. After the death of his uncle Henry I King of England, Stephen crossed at once to England[320] before his rival, King Henry's daughter Matilda, and had himself crowned as STEPHEN King of England at Westminster Abbey 22 Dec 1135. His first cousin Matilda continued to dispute the succession. During the civil war which ensued, Stephen was deposed and imprisoned by Matilda 7-10 April 1141, but restored to the throne 1 Nov 1141. He was crowned a second time at Canterbury Cathedral 1141, and a third time at Lincoln Cathedral 1146. Robert of Torigny records the death "1154 VIII Kal Nov" as "Stephanus rex Anglorum" and his burial "in monasterio Fasseham"[321]. m (before 1125) MATHILDE Ctss de Boulogne, daughter of EUSTACHE [III] Comte de Boulogne & his wife Mary of Scotland ([1103/05]-Hedingham Castle, Essex 2/3 or 30 May or 3 Jul 1151, bur Faversham Abbey[322]). Her parentage is recorded by Orderic Vitalis[323]. The Genealogica comitum Buloniensium names Mathilde as daughter of "Eustachius, frater Balduini regis Iheruslame" and his wife "Mariam filiam regis Scotiæ", also recording her marriage with "Stephano, filio Stephani Blesensis comitis"[324]. The Chronicle of Gervase records the coronation "XI Kal Apr 1136…apud Westmonasterium" of "uxor regis Stephani"[325]. She and her husband founded the Benedictine Abbey of Faversham in Kent, which was first colonised by the Cluniac house of Bermondsey[326]. Robert of Torigny records the death in 1152 of "Matildis uxor Stephani regis Anglorum" and in a later passage her burial "in monasterio Fasseham", recording that she had founded the abbey[327]. The Chronicle of Gervase records the death "V Non Mai 1152" of "Matildis regina" and her burial "apud Faversham"[328]. Mistress (1): ([1115/20]) DAMETA, a Norman woman, daughter of ---.

She is named and her parentage given by Orderic Vitalis[330]. There is no proof that this co-identity is correct. However, the chronology is favourable and no other person with this name has yet been found in the primary sources consulted during the preparation of this document. Mistress (2): ---. The name of Stephen's second mistress is not known. King Stephen & his wife had five children: 1. BAUDOUIN de Blois ([1126]-Tower of London [1136/37], bur Priory of Holy Trinity, Aldgate Without, London). William of Newburgh records his burial, together with that of his sister Mathilde, as "children of King Stephen and Queen", quoting the records of Holy Trinity[331]. The reference to his parents as king and queen indicates that he died after his father's accession, but his relative absence from other sources suggests that the event occurred soon after this. King Stephen donated property to Holy Trinity Priory, London, for the souls of "Mathildis filie mee et Bald[wini] filii mei", by charter dated to [1139/46][332]. 2. EUSTACE de Blois ([1127/31]-Bury St Edmund’s 10 or 16 Aug 1153, bur Faversham Abbey, Kent[333]). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Eustacium et Guilelmum" as the two sons of "rex Anglorum Stefanus"[334]. Recorded as son of King Stephen by Matthew Paris, who specifies that he did homage to Louis VI King of France in 1137 as Duke of Normandy[335], but Geoffroy "Plantagenet" Comte d'Anjou conquered Rouen and the whole Duchy in Jan 1144. He was installed as EUSTACHE [IV] Comte de Boulogne at Christmas [1146/47]. The Gesta Stephani Regis records that King Stephen knighted "Eustachium filium suum", dated from the context to [1147][336]. Maybe created an earl by his father in 1147, possibly Earl of Huntingdon[337], although this would have been at the same time that the title was held by Simon de Saint-Lis. He was crowned associate king of England in 1152 by Thomas Archbishop of Canterbury. Robert of Torigny records the death "1153 mense Augusto circa octavus sancti Laurentii" of "Eustachius filius Stephani regis Anglorum", and in a later passage his burial "in monasterio Fasseham"[338]. m (Paris Feb 1140) as her first husband, CONSTANCE de France, daughter of LOUIS VI King of France & his wife Adélaïde de Savoie ([1128]-Reims 16 Aug after 1177). The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis refers to the sister of King Louis as wife firstly of "Eustachieus comes Bolonie" and secondly of "comiti de Sancto Egidio", specifying that she had children by the latter, but does not name her[339]. The De Genere Comitum Flandrensium, Notæ Parisienses names "filiam unam [Ludovicum regem Grossum] nomine Constantiam"[340]. Her brother Louis VII arranged her first marriage to symbolise his support for Stephen King of England against his cousin Empress Matilda and her husband Geoffroy Comte d'Anjou. William of Newburgh records the betrothal of Eustache, son of King Stephen, and "regi Francorum…sororem eius Constantiam"[341]. The Continuator of Florence of Worcester records the marriage in Feb [1140] of "regis Anglie Stephani…filius" and "Francorum regis sororem"[342]. The Chronicle of Gervase records the marriage "mense Februario 1140" of "Eustachius filius regis Stephani" and "sororem regis Francia Lodovici Constantiam"[343]. Her marriage is recorded by Matthew Paris, who specifies that she was sister of Louis VII King of France[344]. She married secondly (10 Aug 1154, separated 1166) as his first wife, Raymond V Comte de Toulouse. Her brother arranged her second marriage to cement his alliance with Toulouse against Henri d'Anjou Duke of Normandy [later Henry II King of England] who had just allied himself with Aragon. Baudouin IV King of Jerusalem confirmed a sale of property, with the consent of "…Constantiæ sorori regis Franciæ et S. Egidii comitissæ", by charter dated [Sep/Dec] 1177[345]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Denis records the death "XVII Kal Sep" of "Constantia filia Ludovici regis"[346]. 3. WILLIAM de Blois ([1132/37]-11 Oct 1159, bur hospital of Montmorillon, Poitou). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Eustacium et Guilelmum" as the two sons of "rex Anglorum Stefanus"[347]. His parentage is recorded by Matthew Paris[348]. Earl of Warenne and Surrey, Lord of Pevensey and Norwich [1148/49], de iure uxoris[349]. He succeeded his brother in 1153 as GUILLAUME Comte de Boulogne. He was disinherited from the throne of England by his father in Nov 1153 under the treaty confirming the succession of Henry Plantagenet, although under its terms he was allowed to hold all lands which his father had held before becoming king, including the counties of Mortain and Boulogne, and the honors of Eye and Lancaster[350]. He succeeded his father in 1154 as Comte de Mortain. He surrendered Pevensey, Norwich and other strongholds in England and Normandy to King Henry II in 1157. He was knighted by Henry II at Carlisle in 1158[351]. Robert of Torigny records that "Guillelmus comes Moritonii" died "1159 mense Octobris" while returning from serving in the Toulouse campaign, that he died without children and that King Henry II retained his county[352]. Ralph de Diceto’s Ymagines Historiarum record in 1159 that “Gulielmus comes Boloniæ filius regis Stephani” died “in reditu Tolosæ”[353]. m (before 6 Nov 1153, maybe before [1148/49]) as her first husband, ISABELLE de Warenne, daughter & heiress of WILLIAM [III] de Warenne Earl of Surrey & his wife Ela de Ponthieu (-[12 Jul 1203], bur Chapter House, Lewes). Robert of Torigny records that "filiam tercii Guillermi de Warenna" married "Guillermus filius Stephani regis"[354]. Robert of Torigny records the marriage in 1164 of "Hamelinus naturalis frater regis Henrici" and "comitissam de Guarenna, relictam Willelmi comitis Moritoni filii Stephani regis, …filia tercii Willermi comitis de Guarenna"[355]. The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified. She married secondly ([Apr] 1164) [as his second wife,] Hamelin d’Anjou, illegitimate son of Geoffroy V Comte d’Anjou. 4. MATHILDE de Blois ([1133/34]-before 1141, bur Priory of Holy Trinity, Aldgate Without, London).

The Chronicon Valassense names "comes Mellenti Gualerannus" and "uxore sua regis Stephani familia"[357]. William of Newburgh records her burial, together with that of her brother Baudouin, as "children of King Steph

  7. Title: Mary daughter of Máel Coluim mac Donnchada (Malcolm III) King of Scotland (Alba), ca. 1058-1093 -The Henry Project: The Ancestors of King Henry II of England
    Publication: Name: https://fasg.org/projects/henryproject/data/malco002.htm;
    Note: Máel Coluim mac Donnchada (Malcolm III) King of Scotland (Alba), ca. 1058-1093. Máel Coluim (Malcolm) III killed king Mac Bethad mac Findláech (the famous Macbeth) in battle, probably in August 1057, and he succeeded to the kingship when he killed Macbeth's stepson Lulach in battle in the following March (probably 1058). Malcolm's date of accession is discussed in detail in the Commentary section. Malcolm III was killed in battle by the Normans in England on 13 November 1093 [see below]. [For the nickname of "Canmore" commonly given to him, see Duncan (2002), 51-2] Date of Birth: Say 1030×5? Place of Birth: Unknown. The Annals of Tigernach state that his father, who became king in 1034, was killed in 1040 at a premature/untimely age ["Donncadh mac Crínan, aird-rí Alban immatura etate a suis occissus est." AT s.a. 1040]. Thus, if we estimate that Malcolm was born in the range 1030×5, that should not be off by too many years. Date of Death: 13 November 1093. Place of Death: Alnwick, near the river Alne, in Northumbria. Places of Burial: Tynemouth, then Dunfermline. Malcolm was killed by the Normans under Robert, earl of Northumbria [ASC(E) s.a. 1093 (year only); "Mael Coluim m. Donnchadha airdri Alban & Etbard a mc do marbadh do Francaibh." AU s.a. 1093]. John of Worcester places the battle on the day of the festival of St. Brice (13 November) ["Rex Scottorum Malcolmus, et primogenitus filius suus Eadwardus, cum multis aliis, in Northymbria, die festivitatis S. Bricii [13 Nov.], a militibus Rotberti Northymbroroum comitis occisi sunt." John Worc. s.a. 1093 (2: 31-2); similarly, Sim. Durh., c. 174 (2: 221)]. Simeon of Durham places the battle near the river Alne ["... sed juxta flumen Alne perimitur cum primogenito suo Eadwardo, quem hæredem regni post se disposuerat." Sim. Durh., c. 174 (2: 222)], and Geoffrey Gaimar at Alnwick ["A Alnewic fu la bataille," Gaimar 6117)]. Malcolm was buried for many years at Tynemouth, but his body was later removed to Dunfermline by his son Alexander ["... humatusque multis annis apud Tinemuthe, nuper ab Alexandro filio Scotiam ad Dunfermelin portatus est." Wm. Malmes., Gesta Regum, c. 250 (2: 309)]. Father: Donnchad mac Crínáin (Duncan I), d. 14×15 August 1040, king of Scotland. ["... Dauíd fili Maelcolaim, filíí Donnchada qui fuit nepos Malcolaim ..." Genealogy of William the Lion, Poppleton MS, KKES 256; Regnal Lists "B", "F", "I", "K". KKES 263, 276, 284, 289; other sources described above making Malcolm son of Duncan] Mother: Suthen. ["Malcolin filius Doncath xxxvij annis et viij mensibus et interfectus in Inveralden et sepultus in Dunfermelin." Regnal List "I", KKES 284 ] Spouses: (1) Ingibjorg Finnsdóttir, d. 18 February before 1058?, widow of Þorfinnr Sigurðarson (Thorfinn), jarl of Orkney. ["Íngibjörg jarla-móðir giptist [eptir andlát Þorfinns jarls] Melkólmi Skota-konúngi, er langháls var kallaðr. Þeirra son var Dungaðr Skota-konúngr, faðir Vilhjálms hins ágæta manns." Orkneyínga Saga, c. 39, Dasent-Vigfusson (1887-), 1: 60; ("Ingibiorg Earls'-mother married [after the death of earl Thorfinn] Malcolm, the Scottish king, who was called Long-neck. Their son was Duncan, the Scottish king, the father of William, the nobleman.") ESSH 2: 4]. Ingibjorg is sometimes erroneously called the daughter of Thorfinn. According to the Orkneyínga Saga, she was a daughter of Finnr Arnasson, a Norwegian Viking ["Þorfinnr jarl átti Íngibjörgu jarla-móður; hón var dóttir Finns Árnasonar." Orkneyínga Saga, c. 37, Dasent-Vigfusson (1887-), 1: 58]. Although Thorfinn is often stated to have died around 1065, there is no good evidence for his date of death, and he could have died considerably earlier. This makes the marriage of Malcolm and Ingibjorg difficult to date. However, Duncan has noted the obituary of an Ingeberga comitissa under 18 February in the Liber Vitae of Durham, who is difficult to identify with anyone else ["[XII. kal. Mart.] Ingeberga comitissa" Obit. Eccles. Dunelm., Lib. Vit. Durham, 141; Duncan (2002), 42-3]. If this is Malcolm's wife, the title of comitissa suggests that Ingibjorg died before Malcom became king. [Spelling note: The "o" in Ingibjorg's name should be an "o-hook" (an "o" with a small right-facing hook attached at the bottom), but it is represented here as an ordinary "o" because I was unable to get the desired letter to display correctly.] (2) 1070×1, St. Margaret, d. 16 (?) November 1093, daughter of Eadweard "the Exile". Simeon of Durham places the marriage in 1070 ["Cujus Eadgari sororem Margaretam rex Malcolmus, consensu propinquorum illius, matrimonio sibi junxit, foeminam regali prosapia nobilem, ..." Sim. Durh., c. 156, s.a. 1070 (2: 192)]. The account of the Worcester ("D") manuscript of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, placed under the year 1067, is clearly retrospective, and appears to cover the events of several years [ASC(D) s.a. 1067]. Other sources mention the marriage, but do not give a date [e.g., "Margareta, quam Malcolmus rex Scottorum legitimo matrimonio duxit" Wm. Malmes., Gesta Regum, c. 228 (1: 278); "Malcolmus ... Edgarum præcipue, cujus sororem, pro antiqua memoria nobilitatis, jugalem sibi fecerat." ibid., c. 249 (2: 308); "Hac occasione actum est ut Margareta regis Malcolmi nuptiis traderetur, ..." Ailred of Rievaulx, Genealogia Regum Anglorum, PL 195: 735]. Freeman has a detailed discussion of the date of the marriage, where he argues that Simeon's information is accurate, and the marriage should be placed in 1070 or 1071 [Freeman (1870-9), 4: 783-7]. Children: by Ingibjorg Finnsdóttir: MALE Donnchad (Duncan) II, d. 1094, king of Scotland, 1094. by Margaret of England: Several sources list some or all of the eight children of Malcolm and Margaret ["Margareta, quam Malcolmus rex Scottorum legitimo matrimonio duxit. Hæc, numerosa prole foecunda, habuit filios Edgarum et Alexandrum qui post patrem regnaverunt in Scotia successione continua; nam senior, Edwardus, in bello cum patre occubuit; junior, David, mansuetudine et sapientia celebris, rex Scotiæ modo habetur: filias, Matildem quam nostro seculo rex Henricus, Mariam quam Eustachius junior comes Bononiæ, uxores duxerunt." Wm. Malmes., Gesta Regum, c. 228 (1: 278); "Ex qua sex filios suscepit, Eadwardum, Eadmundum, Eadgarum regem, et Alexandrum regem, Ethelredum, David regem, et duas filias, Mahtildam Anglorum reginam, et Mariam, quam Eustachius comes Bononiæ in conjugium accepit." Sim. Durh., c. 156 (2: 192); "... filios suos: Edgarum et Alexandrum et David ..." OV viii, 22 (3: 397); "Duas filias: Edith et Mariam, ..." ibid (3: 399); "Anno autem M.lxvij. desponsata est ei Margareta gloriosa regina, ex qua genuit vi. filios, scilicet Edwardum, Edmundum, Edelredum, Edgarum, Alexandrum, David, duas filias, scili[cet] Matildam reginam Anglorum, et Mariam comitissam Boloniæ." Chron. Melrose, 51-2; "ex ea sex filios, scilicet, Edwardum qui obiit sine herede, Edmundum qui obiit sine herede, Edeldredum qui obiit sine herede, Edgarus qui regnavit, et obiit sine herede, Alexander qui regnavit [et] sine herede obiit. David qui regnavit et duxit Matildam Comitissam Huntingdon neptem Willelmi Regis Anglie filiam Ivette que fuit filia Lamberti de Louns Comitis. ... De predictus et Malcolmo et Margareta exierunt Matildis et Maria. Matildis vero nupsit Henrico primo Regi Anglie ..." Chronicle of Huntingdon, Skene (1867), 210-1]. Eadweard, Eadmund, Eadgar, Alexander, and David appear to have been born in that order. The order of birth of the other three children is unclear, although Eadgyth/Matilda seems to have been older than Mary. Eadweard (Edward), d. 13×15 November 1093. The eldest son of Malcolm and Margaret, Eadmund (Edmund), d. after 1094. Eadgar (Edgar), d. 6×13 January 1107, king of Scotland, 1097-1107. Alexander I, d. 23×6 April 1124, king of Scotland, 1107-24; Æthelred, earl of Fife, abbot of Dunkeld. David I, d. 24 May 1153, king of Scotland, 1124-53; Eadgyth/Matilda, d. 1 May 1118; Mary, d. 31 May 1116; m. 1102 Eustace III, count of Boulogne. ["Rex Anglorum Heinricus Mariam, reginæ sororem, Eustatio, Bononiensium comiti, nuptum tradidit." John Worc., s.a. 1102 (2: 51); also in Sim.
