This is either an indication of the lack of suitable noble women in Scotland or a lack of imagination on the part of the Canmore brothers.
I know you're from Bedfordshire and probably don't get out much but do you really think it's unusual for a wife to have the same surname as her husband? My wife shares my surname but isn't related to me by blood: I thought this was quite common?

Of course, it doesn't mean we had the same surname before we got married......

Oh, and do you mean Anglesey, rather than Anglesea? There's nowhere in the British Isles called Anglesea, so far as I know. Of course, Anglesey is home to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, which would have been a good location for your battle!
