George Brediman
George Brediman or Bredyman or Brideman (died 1580) was an English courtier serving Mary I of England and Elizabeth I. Brediman was a groom of the privy chamber, keeper of the privy purse, and keeper of the Palace of Westminster. His wife, Edith Brediman, was a chamberer at court.
Mary made Brediman Keeper of the Royal Park of Freemantle near Hannington and Kingsclere with an allowance to feed the wild animals in winter. She gave him various rewards, including, in 1557, the manor of Podington, a part of the Honour of Ampthill, and a lease of Brook Hall at Tolleshunt Knights. Brediman was granted the custody and ward of Edmund Brockelsby (died 1565), heir of the manor of Glentworth in July 1557, and was granted the custom duties from the markets and fairs of three Welsh border townships, Builth, Presteigne, and Elvell.
Mary also allowed Brediman to use some verdure tapestry of the "broad bloom" with birds and apples and another suite of verdure featuring roses and pomegranates in the corners. The pomegranate was an emblem of Catherine of Aragon. Some rose and pomegranate borders may have been produced by Cornelius van der Strete or made by makers in centres including Enghien. Tapestry, with corner pomegranates, roses, apples, and "pots", was listed in 1547 in the inventory of Henry VIII at Oatlands Palace.
Several pieces of a suite of tapestry of the "broad bloom" featuring apples and pomegranates were held by the wardrobe of Lady Elizabeth in 1547, and at least one related piece of tapestry with corner pomegranates is thought to survive.
In 1556, he married Edith Brocas or Brokwesse (died 1590), one of Mary's chamberers. Mary 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. The gift rolls record that "Edeth Brydeman" took delivery of a gift of sweetmeats, figs, sugar loaves, and orange water for Mary, and she may have been in charge of such foodstuffs and medicinal materials in the queen's chamber.
Edith was rewarded for attending Mary during her final illness on 28 October 1558. 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.
Edith Brediman signed "Edeth B" for the gift of a russet velvet kirtle from Elizabeth I in May 1562. Edith's friends included Frances Jerningham, who bequeathed her a ring as a token of affection.
