Moon by BoulierJ

Question 1

"Late, late yestreen I saw the new Moon,/ With the old Moon in her arms;/ And I fear, I fear, my Master dear!/ We shall have a deadly storm." The above is a quote from the 'Ballad of Sir Patrick Spens'. One suggestion for the inspiration of the ballad is that it deals with expedition to retrieve THIS SEVEN YEAR OLD HEIRESS to the Scottish throne, who died on her way back from Scandinavia. Who was she?

Margaret, Maid of Norway
