Margaret Logie
Margaret Logie (d. c.1375), queen of David II of Scotland. Daughter of Sir Malcolm Drummond and widow of Sir John Logie. After the death of David II's first wife in 1362, Margaret Logie was openly recognized by the king as his ‘beloved’. The relationship seems to have been among the causes of a revolt in the early part of 1363. On its suppression, the two were married. Margaret had, by her first marriage, at least one son, who received generous grants from David, favours which may have aroused hostility. There were however no children of her marriage to David and in 1370 the king divorced her, probably to leave him free to marry again. Margaret fled the country and appealed to the pope. David died in 1371, but the process was still dragging on when Margaret herself died some four years later.
