Plenary Lectures Bath, Michael University of Glasgow Embroidered Emblems: Mary Stuart's Bed of State In 1618 playwright Ben Jonson walked all the way to Scotland, where he met Scots poet William Drummond of Hawthornden, with whom he had some famous literary conversations. On his return, Drummond sent him a detailed description of the emblematic embroideries on Mary Queen of Scots'‚ Bed of State. These supplement our knowledge of the surviving “Oxburgh” embroideries executed during Mary's years of exile in the custody of the Earl of Shrewsbury, and have long been recognized as among the most interesting artifacts to use emblems at this period in Britain
