She was buried at Westminster Abbey on 13 May. Final illnesses Several letters mention the illnesses of Anne of Denmark and the royal physician Theodore de Mayerne left extensive Latin notes describing his treatment of Anne of Denmark from 10 April 1612 to her death. From September 1614 Anne was troubled by pain in her feet and swellings, which were a form of gout and dropsy and restricted her movements, as described in the letters of her chamberlain Viscount Lisle and the countesses of Bedford and Roxburghe. She was well enough to go hunting in August 1617, but later in the year, Anne's bouts of illness became debilitating. The letter writer John Chamberlain noted, "the Queen continues still ill disposed and though she would ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Jane Seymour (; 24 October 1537) was Queen of England as the third wife of King Henry VIII from their marriage on 30 May 1536 until her death the next year.

Through her maternal grandfather, she was a descendant of King Edward III's ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Anna Kaas
Anna Kaas was a Danish lady in waiting or chamberer serving Anne of Denmark, queen consort of James VI and I. Identity Anna Kaas was a member of the Danish Kaas family and a relation of the politician Niels Kaas. She came to Scotland in May 1590 in the household of Anne of Denmark. She may have been the queen's personal maid and a lifetime servant of the queen. In 1603, when Anne of Denmark came to England at the Union of the Crowns, it was said that she had only brought two aristocratic Scottish women with her. Dudley Carleton wrote that the queen said she not been allowed more than two Danish attendants when she came to Scotland in 1590, to refuse various aristocrats who wished to join her. The remark seems to refer to Anna with a "Sophie Kaas" and Cathrina Schinkel, her principal attendants in 1590. Career in Scotland At first, in Scotland, Anna Kass was accompanied by Sophie Kaas, perhaps her sister, who was a connection of Breide Rantzau. Sophie was listed in a roll of the ...

Chamberer
A chamberer was a female attendant of an English queen regnant, queen consort, or princess. There were similar positions in aristocratic households. Chamberers at court At court, the position was similar to a male groom of the privy chamber. The names of ten women who served Elizabeth I as chamberers are known. They were daughters of landowning gentry families. Duties could include some domestic labour, embroidery, and administration, as well as attendance on the queen. The details of the distinctions between women of the chamber and their hierarchy can be obscure. The French ambassador Charles de Marillac obtained a description of Princess Mary in 1541 from a woman of her chamber (''femme de chambre''), presumably a chamberer, who had served her since infancy and was married to a French man. Outside the Tudor court, Mary Halle ''alias'' Lassels, who gave evidence concerning Catherine Howard, Henry Mannox, and Alice Wilkes, had been a nurse and a chamberer to the " old Lady of ...

Piero Hugon
Piero or Pierre Hugon (floruit 1600-1625) was a French servant of Anne of Denmark accused of stealing her jewels. Career at the royal court in England Piero Hugon was the first page of the bedchamber and trusted servant of Anne of Denmark, the wife of King James. Amongst the duties of daily attendance, in February 1613 he was sent to give Princess Elizabeth a jewel to wear at her wedding to Frederick V of the Palatinate. He travelled to the Danish court for her in 1618. He may have been the queen's French servant noted in July 1614. Her brother Christian IV came to London incognito and managed to enter Denmark House (Somerset House) without being discovered. He was recognised in the audience chamber by "Cardel, a dancer" (Thomas Cardell) and the French servant agreed. He went to tell Anne of Denmark, who was dining in the gallery, and she laughed at him, thinking it was a kind of joke. Christian IV then entered the room. She took off a jewel she was wearing and gave it to the Fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Charles I Of England
Charles I (19 November 1600 – 30 January 1649) was King of Kingdom of England, England, Kingdom of Scotland, Scotland, and Kingdom of Ireland, Ireland from 27 March 1625 until Execution of Charles I, his execution in 1649. Charles was born into the House of Stuart as the second son of King James VI of Scotland, but after his father inherited the English throne in 1603, he moved to England, where he spent much of the rest of his life. He became heir apparent to the kingdoms of England, Scotland, and Ireland in 1612 upon the death of his elder brother, Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales. An unsuccessful and unpopular attempt to marry him to Infanta Maria Anna of Spain culminated in an eight-month visit to Habsburg Spain, Spain in 1623 that demonstrated the futility of the marriage negotiation. Two years later, shortly after his accession, he married Henrietta Maria of France. After his accession in 1625, Charles quarrelled with the English Parliament, which sought to curb his ro ...
