Søren Johnson
Søren Johnson was a Danish courtier in Scotland, serving Anne of Denmark, queen consort of James VI and I as master of the wardrobe. Career Johnson probably came to Scotland with Anne of Denmark in May 1590. He is mentioned in a number of court records, until 1597 when he left or died. He was in charge of the queen's clothes. The spelling of his name in the Scottish record varies. His wardrobe staff included a Danish master tailor, Paul Rey or Pål Rei, three servant tailors, and a furrier Henrie Koss. Records survive of clothes made for Anne of Denmark, her ladies in waiting, chamberers, her minister Hans Sering, and her secretaries. At least one of Anne's gowns was made in the Danish fashion, recorded in Scots as "ane goun of Dence fassoun". The details of this Danish fashion are now difficult to determine. The Scottish tailors Peter Sanderson, William Simpson, and Peter Rannald also worked on the queen's clothes. A record of fabrics supplied for Anne of Denmark includes an ...

James VI And I
James VI and I (James Charles Stuart; 19 June 1566 – 27 March 1625) was King of Scotland as James VI from 24 July 1567 and King of England and Ireland as James I from the union of the Scottish and English crowns on 24 March 1603 until his death in 1625. The kingdoms of Scotland and England were individual sovereign states, with their own parliaments, judiciaries, and laws, though both were ruled by James in personal union. James was the son of Mary, Queen of Scots, and a great-great-grandson of Henry VII, King of England and Lord of Ireland, and thus a potential successor to all three thrones. He succeeded to the Scottish throne at the age of thirteen months, after his mother was compelled to abdicate in his favour. Four different regents governed during his minority, which ended officially in 1578, though he did not gain full control of his government until 1583. In 1603, he succeeded Elizabeth I, the last Tudor monarch of England and Ireland, who died childless. He ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jemma Field
Jemma Field is a historian and art historian from New Zealand. She studied for her PhD with Erin Griffey at the University of Auckland. She was subsequently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow at Brunel University, London. She is currently Associate Director of Research at the Yale Center for British Art. Field's published work concerns the material culture of Anne of Denmark, queen consort of Scotland, and wife of James VI and I. Like many modern writers she prefers the use of the forename "Anna" instead of "Anne". Her ideas about Anne of Denmark's personal piety and religious views, and the role of her Danish chaplain Johannes Sering, contribute to contemporary debate. Field examines the ways in which Anne of Denmark expressed her identity and agency through her own dress and bodily ornament, including her jewellery, and also the costume of her servants and household, which reflected both the customs of Scotland and the royal court of Denmark and the House of Olden ...

Chamberer
A chamberer was a female attendant of an English queen, queen consort, or princess. There were similar positions in aristocratic households. Chamberers at court At court, the position was similar to a male groom of the privy chamber. The names of ten women who served Elizabeth I as chamberers are known. They were daughters of landowning gentry families. Duties could include some domestic labour, embroidery, and administration, as well as attendance on the queen. The details of the distinctions between women of the chamber and hierarchy can be obscure. Other servants present in the royal lodging who carried out laundry work were of lower status than chamberers, and were called "lavenders". Chamberers would embroider and launder some linen items, especially ruffs. In Scotland, Elizabeth Gibb, took on this role for Anne of Denmark, the queen consort of James VI and I, in 1590, making and looking after ruffs and other garments. Usually the queen was served by four chamberers at any on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hans Sering
Johannes Sering or Johannes Seringius (died 1631) was a chaplain to Anne of Denmark in Scotland and England Sering was a graduate of Rostock University where he had studied under David Chytraeus. His 1585 matriculation record says he was from Thuringia. He was a member of the Lutheran church. In Scotland As part of the marriage negotiations of Anne of Denmark and James VI of Scotland the Danish council requested that she was allowed the freedom of religion and worship of her choice, and to keep a preacher at the expense of the Scottish exchequer, and recruit a successor as she wishes. The preacher was to be Danish or German. Though both kingdoms had adopted forms of Protestantism, Denmark was a Lutheran country while Scotland had become Calvinist. James VI of Scotland travelled to meet Anne of Denmark. On 25 November 1589 he had lunch with Sering and his own preacher David Lindsay, as guests of Jens Nilssøn, Bishop of Oslo. James VI interviewed Sering promising him an annual stipe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
