Biography
She was born at Windsor Castle, the daughter of King Alexander III of Scotland and his first wife, Margaret of England. She married Eirik in Bergen in 1281.
She died in Tønsberg, presumably during or shortly after giving birth to Margaret, who became (arguably) queen regnant of the Kingdom of Scotland in 1286. The date of her death is given as 9 April 1283 in the "Gesta Annalia", but the "Chronicle of Lanercost" states her death as 27/28 February 1283. She was buried in the old cathedral of Bergen. This cathedral was demolished in 1531, the site, in present day Bergenhus Fortress, is marked by a memorial.
