Saint Margaret of Scotland lived in the 11th century and was married to King Malcolm III of Scotland, becoming queen. She and the king had eight children together. Saint Margaret was known for inviting English Benedictine monks to Scotland to establish the country's first holy orders and for personally serving orphans and the poor each day. Both her husband and eldest son were killed in a battle against the English in 1093. Saint Margaret died just three days later, in 1093 as well. She is the patron saint of large families.
