The Lodge is named in honor of Queen Maud of Norway. She was born in 1869 in London, England as the youngest daughter of the Prince and Princess of Wales of England (later King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra).
In 1896, at age 27, she married her first cousin, Prince Charles (Carl) of Denmark, a naval officer and the second son of King Frederick VIII of Denmark. In 1903, they had one son, Alexander, who was born in England and who eventually became King Olav V of Norway. During Norway's separation from Sweden in 1905, Prince Carl was offered the Norwegian crown and took the name King Haakon VII, and Maud thus became Queen of Norway. (More)...
