Edith Brediman

Edith Brediman (died 1590), was an English courtier. She served as chamberer of queen Mary I of England.

She was born Edith Brocas or Brokwesse. In 1556, she married George Brediman.[1][2]

Mary I gave "Edeth Brydeman" a New Year's Day gift of a gilt salt in 1557, a more valuable gift than that received by George Brediman.[3] The gift rolls record that "Edeth Brydeman" took delivery of a gift of sweetmeats, figs, sugar loaves, sucket and orange water for Mary, and she may have been in charge of such foodstuffs and medicinal materials in the queen's chamber.[4]

Edith was rewarded for attending Mary during her final illness on 28 October 1558. The warrant mentions Edith's "watching and other pains taking in time of our sickness".[5] She signed her name in a Book of Hours which had once belonged to Henry VII, writing under an illustration for the Office of the Dead:

In all tyme of neccessitye: with your prayer remember me
Edeth Bredyman.[6]

Edith Brediman signed "Edeth B" for the gift of a russet velvet kirtle from Elizabeth I in May 1562.[7] Edith's friends included Frances Jerningham, who bequeathed her a ring as a token of affection.[8]
