stories and histories LADY MARY SCUDAMORE

LADY MARY SCUDAMORE
Mary was the daughter of Sir John Shelton of Shelton Hall, Norfolk and his wife, Margaret Parker.

In the reign of Henry VIII, Mary's grandparents, Sir John and Anne Shelton, were entrusted with the custody of the future queens Mary I and Elizabeth I.

Anne Shelton was also the aunt of Anne Boleyn.

Around 1597, Mary joined the household of Queen Elizabeth I, serving as a gentlewoman of the queens privy chamber.

Mary would become a close companion and favourite sleeping partner of Elizabeth.

Once at court, Mary rose quickly from gentlewoman of the queens privy chamber, to Chamberer in 1571.
She was given an allowance of clothing, including satin for a gown, velvet to border the gown, and sarcenet silk for its lining.

She was to receive similar fabric every year, although she was often given some of her clothes from the queen.

Mary Scudamore secretly married Gentleman Usher, Sir John Scudamore, a widower who had five children, in January 1574.

Their marriage was revealed early in 1575, and Elizabeth I was apparently extremely angry that this had been done without her consent.

She allegedly attacked Mary, breaking her finger.
Later, according to a letter from Mary Queen of Scots, who mentions the incident, Elizabeth tried to deflect blame by saying a candlestick fell on Marys hand, thus breaking the finger.

In 1602, Mary become very ill and returned home to Holme Lacy.

However, she rallied enough to attend Queen Elizabeths funeral, but died later that summer.

On 15th August 1603, Lady Mary Scudamore was buried at Holme Lacy, in Herefordshire.
