  Alexander II of Scotland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alexander II (August 24, 1198 – July 6, 1249), king of Scotland, son of William I, the Lion, and of Ermengarde of Beaumont, was born at Haddington, East Lothian, in 1198, and succeeded to the kingdom on the death of his father on 4 December 1214.
Diplomacy further strengthened the reconciliation by the marriage of Alexander to Henry's sister Joan of England on June 18 or June 25, 1221.
A threat of invasion by Henry in 1243 for a time interrupted the friendly relations between the two countries; but the prompt action of Alexander in anticipating his attack, and the disinclination of the English barons for war, compelled him to make peace next year at Newcastle.

 KELSCH
Henry did not describe the land in terms of its relationship to Britain and there is little direct evidence in his writings that he inhabited a region at the crux of two great expanding empires.
Henry uses the word “ugly” to describe portages that slowed his progress across the arteries that connect Fort William to Lake Winnipeg, muskeg swamps that hindered his path across the plains, and bogs that pocked the region around the Red Lake River, sinking Henry’s horses in mud “sometimes to their knees.”
Henry’s journal gives us both a view of the landscape as seen through the eyes of an early nineteenth century inhabitant and a rare glimpse into a land in which we now reside, but whose past is in many ways beyond our experience and imagination.
