| | Malcolm Canmore - Norman Conquest |
 | | The Norman Conquest (1066) increased the tendency of the English-speaking people of Lothian to acquiesce in the rule of a Celtic king, rather than in that of the adventurers who followed William of Normandy. |
 | | The dates are confused - Malcolm may have won the beautiful sister of Edgar, rightful king of England, in 1068, or at the time of his raid into Northumberland in 1070, said to have been of savage ferocity, and his yet more cruel reprisals for Gospatric's harrying of Cumberland. |
 | | A lover of books (which Malcolm could not read), an expert in "the delicate, and gracious, and bright works of women," Margaret brought her own gentleness and courtesy among a so-called rude people, built the abbey church of Dunfermline, and presented the churches with many beautiful golden reliquaries and fine sacramental plate. |
