Quite a few as she had a long reign. it is believed Lady Catherine Knollys ( pronounc ed (Nawll-liss) was her prncipal mourner at her funeral, was with the Queen when she died, and among other sad offices, closed the Dead Queen"s eyes, and assisted at her dressing for her funeral, etc almost all of this was accompanied with prayers and religious practices ( Mortuary rites) in Catholic countries in some cases Nuns served as ladies in waiting, and more importantly Ladies-In-Mourning. Queen Margherita was laid out by religious sisters- who may have been nurses. this is most interesting and was confined to Catholic Countries such as Italy, Spain, and Portugal. Elizabeth I was Episcopal, so had lay palace attendants for the most part.
