nce into the
scale against the King; but she showed that her enmity was personal, not
political, by at once returning to her allegiance on the accession of
Henry the Third. She was then given in _marriage_ (3) to Hubert de
Burgh, into whose hands the manor of Walden was delivered, as part of
her dower, August 13, 1217; the marriage probably took place shortly
before that date, and certainly before the 17th of September. Isabel
was Hubert's wife for so short a time, that some writers have doubted
the fact of the marriage altogether; but it is amply authenticated. She
was dead on the 18th of November following, as the Close Rolls bear
witness; and the Obituary of Canterbury Cathedral and the Chronicle of
Rochester agree in stating that she died October 14, 1217. She was
buried in Canterbury Cathedral.

D. Margaret, eldest daughter of William the First, King of Scotland,
surnamed The Lion; affianced, 1196, to Otho of Brunswick; commuted to
the care of King John of England in 1209; _married_ at York, June 25,
1221; _died_ 1259, leaving no surviving issue. [Character inferentially
historical.]

_Issue of Earl Hubert_.

A. _By Margaret Arsic_.

John, knighted Whit Sunday, 1229; _died_ 1274-75, leaving issue.
_Married_:--

Hawise, daughter and heir of Sir William de Lanvalay: _married_ before
November 21, 1234; _died_ 1249; _buried_ at Colchester. [Character
imaginary.]

2. _Hubert_, living 1281-82; ancestor of the Marquis of Clanricarde.
Whom he married is not known.

D. _By Margaret of Scotland_:--

Margaret, or Margery--she bears both names on the Rolls--_born_ probably
1222; _married_ at Bury Saint Edmund's "when the Earl was at Merton"--
probably January 11-26, 1236,--clandestinely, but with connivance of
mother, to Richard de Clare, Earl of Gloucester; divorced 1237; livery
of her estates granted to brother John, May 5, 1241; therefore _died_
shortly before that date. Most writers attribute to Earl Hubert another
daughter, whom they call Magotta: but the Rolls show no evidence of any
daughter but Margaret. Magotta, or Magot, is manifestly a Latinism of
Margot, the French diminutive for Margaret; the Earl's gifts to
monasteries for the souls of himself and relatives, include "M. his
daughter," but make no mention of two; and the grants made by the King
to Earl Hubert and Margaret his wife, and Margaret their daughter,
certainly imply that Margaret was the sole heir of her mother.
