Maid of Norway
From Conservapedia
Margaret (1283- 1290), Queen of Scots (1286-1290), usually known as the “Maid of Norway”, was the daughter of king Eric II of Norway and grand-daughter of Alexander II of Scotland. All Alexander’s off-spring had died before Alexander himself died in 1286, and Margaret, aged three, succeeded him. She was betrothed to the future Edward II, in a bid for Anglo-Scottish peace through the dynastic union of the English and Scottish crowns, but her death en route from Norway led to disputed succession in Scotland, the intervention of England’s Edward I and the subsequent Wars of Scottish Independence.
