II of England helped Edgar depose his brothers Donald and Edmund from the
Scottish throne. His treaty with Magnus ‘Barefoot’ in 1098 allowed the Norse to
regain many of the Western Isles. The marriage of his sister Edith to Henry I of
England in 1100 brought peace and encouraged the settlement of Anglo Normans
in the Scottish lowlands.
Edgar moved the royal residence from Dunfermline to Edinburgh. He died unmarried
