Elizabeth Trevannion

Elizabeth Carey was sworn in as a lady in waiting of the privy chamber and Mistress of her Majesty's Sweet Coffers to Anne of Denmark, in charge of perfuming the queen's wardrobe.

[2][3] The occasion, at Windsor Castle, was probably 2 July 1603, when the "great ladies" paid homage to Anne of Denmark in turn, "most sumptuous in apparel, and exceeding rich and glorious in jewels".

The women from the Queen's household who accepted this invitation included Jean Drummond (who had been involved in the care of Prince Charles in Scotland), the young Anna Hay, and Lady Carey.

[9] Lady Carey's daughter, Philadelphia, was brought up in the household of Princess Elizabeth at Coombe Abbey, in the care of Lord Harington.

[11] In 1605 Agnes Fortune testified that one of the Gunpowder Plot conspirators Thomas Percy had asked her questions about Charles' lodging at Whitehall Palace and his activities.

[13] The plan to capture Charles was mentioned in a Latin narrative of the discovery of the Gunpowder plot sent to Christian IV of Denmark, and was said to have been abandoned in favour of taking Princess Elizabeth.
