| Mrs. Alice? Montagu/e, The Queen's Silk Women, ~1560~ |
The Queen's `silk woman'. Apparently it is not known exactly who this woman was:
`In 1560 Mrs. Montagu, whose marital status is unclear, gave the Queen, whose silk woman she was, her first pair of knitted silk stockings. These so delighted Elizabeth Tudor that she would never wear cloth stockings again.' (Emerson).
In Emerson's index, this women is listed under `Montagu, Montague or Montague, Alice'
