Ane Dance in the Quenis Chalmer
Ane Dance in the Quenis Chalmer or "A dance in the Queen's chamber" is a humorous or satiric Scots poem by William Dunbar. The verses describe a dance in the chamber of Margaret Tudor, wife of James IV of Scotland. Various courtiers are introduced and their dance moves described. The refrain, in modern spelling is, "A merrier dance might no man see". Dancers include Master Robert Schaw who provided medicinal recipes to the queen's apothecary William Foular, and appears to have been a physician serving the women of the court. Sir John  Sinclair. Sinclair was an attendant of Margaret Tudor. In April 1513 an English diplomat, Nicholas West, came to Linlithgow Palace and was met by John Sinclair, who conveyed him to Margaret Tudor. Dunbar and Mistress Musgrave. In these verses Dunbar imagines himself in the dance, and reveals his affection for Mistress Agnes Musgrave, or Musgrove, an English lady in waiting and Mistress of the Queen's wardrobe, despite their disparity in social status. She was probably the wife of Sir John Musgrave. She was known as the "Lady Mastres", the Lady Mistress. As a New Year's Day gift in  1507 she received a brooch with an image of Saint Michael set with a diamond. In February she brought James IV the news of the birth of his son at Linlithgow Palace. In June 1508 she helped with preparations for the tournament of the Wild Knight and the Black Lady. Edward Hall's English chronicle and a poem "Flodden Field" mention a "Giles Musgrave", presumably a relation of her husband, who is said to have persuaded James IV to move from an advantageous position on a hill at the battle of Flodden.
