Person:Maurice Arpad (1)

This is part of the hard research project to clean up the Peerage at this point. This is part of the Peerage of Lennox. Aabh 00:36, 28 February 2009 (EST)

Maurice came to Scotland from Hungary with St Margaret of Scotland who had married Malcolm Canmore, King of Scotland.

Malcolm, being grateful (Perhaps aknowledging Maurice's Royal Heritage?), gave Maurice lands which became the ancestral homeland known as the area of Lennox.

Maurice died in the Battle of Alnwick, which was fought near the town of Alnwick, in Northumberland. In the battle, which occurred on 13 November 1093, Malcolm III of Scotland, also known as Malcolm Canmore, was killed together with his son Edward and Maurice by an army of knights led by Robert de Mowbray. St. Margaret fell ill and died 3 days later.
