August 15 - Mary Scudamore and the hot-tempered Elizabeth I

On this day in Tudor history, 15th August 1603, Lady Mary Scudamore (née Shelton), a member of Elizabeth I's Privy Chamber and one of her favourite sleeping companions, was buried at Holme Lacy in Herefordshire.

 

Mary was very close to the queen but suffered the queen's wrath at one point. Claire Ridgway, founder of the Tudor Society, explains all in today's "on this day" talk.
