Anne Home, Countess of Lauderdale

Anne of Denmark sent instructions to the chamberlain of her Dunfermline estates, Henry Wardlaw of Pitreavie, to distribute presents of money at the baptism, and Anna Hay, Countess of Winton was to be her representative.

Counter-claims that the furnishings belonged to their daughter or had been sold to a Scottish merchant in London, Robert English, were disregarded.

[5] According to Bulstrode Whitelocke, officers from Haberdasher's Hall who came to collect Lauderdale's goods were resisted by a "file of musquetiers".

Perhaps in irony, Charles II took him to visit the physic laboratory of Nicasius le Febure in St James's Palace.

[12] Soon after she recovered from her illness Anne Home moved away from Lauderdale to Paris, on the advice of the king's physician Sir Alexander Fraser, so that she could take the waters at Bourbonne-les-Bains.

[14] Lady Dysart made efforts to cover up her affair with Lauderdale by interfering with Anne Maitland's letters.

You know it tis mine but for my lifetime, and then come to your posterity, and that it is not my power to leave it from them, therefore I make no doubt of your repairing of it, and in special since your books has been the occasion of it.

[21] She had made a will in Paris, witnessed by Frederick Schomberg and Jean Claude, Minister of Charenton, bequeathing the jewels to her daughter, Mary, Lady Yester.
