Margaret (1930–2002)

Princess of the UK, younger daughter of George VI and sister of Elizabeth II. In 1960 she married Anthony Armstrong-Jones, later created Lord Snowdon, but they were divorced in 1978. Their children are David, Viscount Linley (1961– ) and Lady Sarah Chatto (1964– ).

Margaret (1283–1290)

Queen of Scotland from 1285, the daughter of Eric II, King of Norway, and Princess Margaret of Scotland. When only two years old she became queen of Scotland on the death of her grandfather, Alexander III, but died in the Orkneys on the voyage from Norway to her kingdom.

The marriage arranged between her and Edward, son of Edward I of England, would have united the crowns of England and Scotland, but she died on her way from Christiania, now Oslo, to Scotland. She was the daughter of Eric II of Norway and Margaret, Alexander III of Scotland's daughter, and she had been acknowledged as heir to the Scottish throne in 1284.
