The only problem is that only the South Branch (sort of) flows north. The main course, if anything, heads south. I grew up in Eugene, OR, at the headwaters of the Willamette, which really does flow north. But I don't recall any of my high school chums telling me about the Willamette and the Nile.
How did Saint Margaret of Scotland die? Margaret died on November 16, 1093, at Edinburgh Castle, Scotland, four days after her husband and son died in defense of the castle. Edit
Duchess Margareta of Scania (Margaret of Connaught) poses in 1905 at Stockholm Palace, wearing her British coronet, for a subsequently colored photograph. Duchies in Sweden have been allotted since the 13th century to powerful Swedes, almost always to princes of Sweden (only in some of the dynasties) and wives of the latter.
