Abstract

The article discusses the life (vita) of Saint Margaret of Scotland "Vita Margaretae," written by prior Turgot of Durham Cathedral, in relation to the Norman Conquest, Margaret's purportedly conspicuous consumption, and her genealogy. It is said that Margaret's ancestry was significant due to issues related to Anglo-Norman relations after the conquest.
