  • Title: The Other St. Margaret [In this brief article without footnotes addressed to a popular audience, the author reflects on the celebrations surrounding the 900th anniversary of St. Margaret's death. She was the daughter of Edward Aetheling, the English prince in exile, and her mother's origins have sometimes wrongly been thought to be Hungarian. Historians and politicians in Hungary from the eighteenth century onward have sought to capitalize on this relationship with England. Title note supplied by Feminae.].
