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]
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]
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.
