The royal family continued to grow.  James was followed two years later by Elizabeth in 1635. . .

. . .Unwell (as she often was) and deeply upset, Elizabeth, at eight years old, was unable to face the loss of those closest to her. She took matters into her own hands and appealed directly to the House of Lords on 16 December, in a letter she entrusted to Pembroke to present on her behalf:

I account myself most miserable that I must have my servants taken from me, and strangers put to me. You promised me that you would have a care of me, and I hope you will show it, in preventing so great a grief as this would be to me. I pray, my lords, consider of it, and give me cause to thank you.

. . .The new household was certainly reasonably generous for two younger members of the royal family. By the time of its inception, Lady Roxburghe was dead and the countess of Dorset, who had known the children from their earliest years, was appointed once again to the role of governess. In addition, Elizabeth was provided with a lady of the bedchamber and four ladies-in-waiting and Henry was given his own staff of attendants. Overall, the household had two physicians, one of whom was Sir Theodore de Mayerne, as well as six chaplains, pages, domestics and tutors.

Elizabeth had won something of a victory. . .
