Mabel of Bury St. Edmunds
Mabel of Bury St. Edmunds was a 13th-century embroiderer of immense skill.〔
Mabel was from Bury St. Edmunds. As a medieval craftsman, very little would have been known about her but, uniquely, she frequently appeared in the royal records of Henry III and thus we are able to trace some moments from her life.〔 Between the years 1239 and 1245 she appeared in the King’s writs twenty four times.〔
==Chasuble==
Mabel was first mentioned in relation to the commission of a chasuble for the King in November of 1239.〔 It is assumed that the King was aware of her work prior to this time and that she was already a master of her craft for this was an important commission and would not have been handed out lightly.〔 It is unclear under which conditions Mabel produced her work but evidence points to her having been an “independent producer.”〔 She was not a royal servant nor attached to anyone else’s atelier.〔
The chasuble took Mabel about two years to finish.〔 As she was finishing her work in 1241, pearls and gold were ordered for her use in decorating the robe.〔 Upon completion, the King commanded an appraisal be made, by knowledgeable people, for the value of the finished work as well as an appropriate fee for Mabel’s work.〔 The King was very insistent that Mabel be paid fairly with a generous sum.〔 Considering that she was an artisan and he a medieval king, it is remarkable how much attention Henry put to this matter and how much respect he treated Mabel with.〔 She must have truly been uniquely talented in her craft. The King even ordered that she be given the remnants of all precious materials used for the creation of the chasuble.〔
