(r. 1286-1290)

Margaret, Maid of Norway, was born in 1283 and became the Queen of Scotland at the tender age of 3 years old after her grandfather, KIng Alexander III of Scotland died in 1286.

In 1290 Margaret was to set sail with protection to England for negotiations of marriage. However, during her journey, Margaret became very ill with possibility of food poisoning, and died in Bishop Narve’s arms at just 7 years old in the year of 1290.
