Elizabeth Devick or De Vic ( fl. 1600-1620) was a servant of Anne of Denmark.
She was a member of the household of Magdalen Wood, the wife of the English diplomat Thomas Edmondes. In May 1615 Edmondes gave her £100 after the death of his wife, for her long service. [1]
On 14 February 1613 she added a Valentine's day greeting to Jean Beaulieu's letter from Paris to William Trumbull and his wife and daughter "pretty Betty". [2]
At the end of June 1615 she travelled from Paris to Pougues with the Countess of Pembroke. [3]
Elizabeth Devick joined the household of Anne of Denmark in March 1617 as a lady in waiting, or " chamberer". She went to join the queen's household at Oatlands Palace where she swore the customary oath of loyalty and service on 24 August 1617. [4] At the Queen's death in 1619 she reckoned to have two years service in wages. [5]
She was with the queen, who had been ill, at Hampton Court and told a visitor that she now "began to sit up and walk about her chamber, which for 6 weeks before she was not able to do." [6]
When the queen died in 1619 the other chamberers were; Elizabeth Murray (probably the Countess of Annandale); Marie Mayerne, sister of Théodore de Mayerne who married Gian Francesco Biondi in 1622; [7] Bridget Annesley; and Mary Gargrave as Maid of Honour. [8] Elizabeth Devick attended the queen's funeral, listed with the ladies of the Privy Chamber. [9]
Subsequently there was "much talk" in London about provision for her servants, "Mistris de Vicg" was to have rewards and pensions pro rata. The King delayed making a settlement but the terms were announced to satisfy the Danish ambassador. [10]
The exact date of Elizabeth Devick's death is unknown.
