Turgot,
Bishop of St. Andrews describes how she would read scripture to her illiterate
husband and help him in state matters.
She was a woman of
ideas and achievements. She invited the Benedictines to Dunfermline Abbey
(where she is buried) and is credited as co-founder. She also founded several
other churches. She organised ferries for pilgrims across the Firth of Forth en
route to Dunfermline Abbey and St. Andrews.
She was a patron of
arts and education. She took an active interest in church reform and influenced
church synods as well as affairs of state. Meanwhile she led a simple,
devotional lifestyle reading the scriptures, praying and tending to the poor.
