Wiki: Elizabeth Richardson, 1st Lady Cramond (1576/77 1651) was an English writer and peeress. Born Elizabeth Beaumont, she was the eldest child of Sir Thomas Beaumont (the brother of Huntingdon Beaumont) and his wife, Catherine. On 27 November 1594, she married John Ashburnham (knighted in 1604) at Stoughton, Leicestershire and they had ten children. Sir John's death in 1620 left the family in financial difficulty, but Lady Ashburnham was considerably influential at court due to Mary Villiers, Countess of Buckingham (mother of King James's favourite, George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham) being her cousin. She procured a baronetcy for her son-in-law, Edward Dering, in 1627 and a letter to Buckingham that year, indicates she enjoyed the company of his wife, Katherine, of Lady Carlisle and of The Queen. On 14 December 1626 Lady Ashburnham married, as his second wife, Sir Thomas Richardson (later Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales) at St Giles in the Fields. Through his influence, she was created Lady Cramond in the Peerage of Scotland, on 29 February 1628
