Fremyn Alezard

Fremyn Alezard (died 1584) was a French shoemaker based in Edinburgh who worked for Mary, Queen of Scots and subsequently her political rivals.

[2] The record of Mary's wardrobe kept by Servais de Condé mentions black velvet delivered to the shoemaker, probably Alezard, for the queen's shoes, soulliers, and pantoufles, slippers.

He was owed money by Robert Douglas the young Laird of Lochleven, Adam Erskine, Commendator of Cambuskenneth, the Laird of Findlater, the Earl of Mar, the Earl of Angus, Esmé Stewart, 1st Duke of Lennox, Colonel William Stewart, Sir Thomas Erskine, the Master of Orkney, and John Bog, porter of the royal palace of Holyroodhouse.

His daughter Charlotte had married Pasquier Bernard, a surgeon in Orléans, and he was the legal guardian or tutor of her younger sisters.

Jacquette Peanger had entrusted 500 or 600 Écu with Nicholas Langlois, the French schoolmaster in Edinburgh (and father of Esther Inglis), and the goldsmith Thomas Foulis for the benefit of her younger children.

Henry III made Pasquier Bernard's case to James VI, according to the amity and auld alliance between the two nations.
