Mary Zouche stood as one of seven maids of honour serving Queen Anne Boleyn in 1536. This specific number exceeded the traditional eight maids assigned to a queen regnant and four for a queen consort.
The role required these women to be unmarried noblewomen in their sixteenth year or older. Lady Jane Grey broke this norm by serving Catherine Parr between 1546 and 1548 at only ten years old while Elizabeth Knollys entered court service at age nine during the reign of Elizabeth I.
Elizabeth I distributed gifts of clothing to her attendants including sisters Elizabeth and Anne Knollys. Margaret, Philadelphia, and Catherine Carey also received these royal garments along with Frances and Elizabeth Howard who were part of this same circle of recipients.
Some individuals earned £10 yearly during the seventeenth century beyond their board and lodging. Grants and rewards included property leases which provided income known as annual rent while Cecilia Crofts gained pensions and an income from duty on coal mines near Benwell in 1630.
Six maids attended Queen Elizabeth II throughout her coronation ceremony. Lady Moyra Hamilton carried part of the train while Lady Anne Coke assisted with another section alongside Lady Jane Vane-Tempest-Stewart and Lady Mary Baillie-Hamilton. Lady Rosemary Spencer-Churchill completed the group of six attendants at Buckingham Palace.
