Mary Had A Little Zydrach

Fabric panel of a Zydrach Tergiant embroidered by Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots circa 1570, based on Nomenclator Aquatilium Animantium.

Mary Queen of Scots (1542-1587) embroidered these panels with Elizabeth Talbot, Countess of Shrewsbury (Bess of Hardwick) and ladies of the household, during her imprisonment. Mary may have intended the large central panel as a cushion for Philip Howard, Earl of Arundel (1557-1595), an English Catholic courtier imprisoned in London by Elizabeth I.
