This looks like a confusion with the more historically verifiable St
Margaret, Queen of Scotland (1045-1093) wife of Malcolm III Canmore (he who
slew Macbeth) and daughter of Edmund Ironside heir of King / Saint Edward
the confessor and Agatha his Hungarian (or German) wife. I think there is
also a Saint Margaret of Hungary to add to the confusion.
