Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of the Princess Margaret, Queen of Scotland 1070-1093, Vol. 1 The accompanying narrative of the Life of Queen Margaret will be interesting to all students of history as being a subject which seldom attracts the attention of the historian. The Life of Queen Margaret was a wonderful life during the twenty-three years she was Queen of Scotland; but the records of it are meagre and disappointing. We are not altogether surprised at this, as in that primitive age, the eleventh century, both King and people were unable to read or write. These offices were performed by the Monks, until civilization was more developed; but in the meantime Queen Margaret´s life and administration have, in the eyes of posterity, greatly suffered for want of material. It is evident that the Queen´s was a saintly life, full of benevolent and good deeds, while her knowledge of the Scriptures was conspicuous in many of her administrative acts. The influence of her example on the people of that turbulent time cannot be overestimated, while she was undoubtedly a great power for good at a dark period of Scottish History. Although superstition was then rampant, we have no record and no incident connecting Queen Margaret with it.
