- Died from grief of her husbands' death. She was declared a saint on
19 Jun. 1259 and her body was taken from the original stone coffin
and placed in a shrine of pine wood set with gold and precious stones
near the high alter. In Scotland the grace cup is called
St.Margaret's blessing. When Scotland became Protestant the remains
of St.Margaret and her husband were carried to Spain and placed in a
chapel in the Escurial built in her honor by King Phillip II.
