A niece of Edward Confessor, she married the Scottish King Malcolm with

rigorous private devotions, she was an exemplar of the 'just ruler'. Promoting
arts and education among her people and practising legendary charity,
she was also known for her efforts to reform religious abuses by priests
and lay people.
