Mary Scudamore

She joined the household of Queen Elizabeth around the year 1567, serving as a chamberer.

Some of her clothes were gifts from the queen, made by her tailor Walter Fyshe.

[6] Elizabeth I was apparently extremely angry that this had been done without her consent, and allegedly attacked Mary, breaking her finger.

[7] A courtier wrote that Elizabeth was liberal both with blows and evil words.

[8] In October 1574, Elizabeth I gave her, "Mistress Mary Skydmore", a gift of a forepart or skirt front.
