Mary King (merchant)

Mary King (c.1590 – 1644), also known as Marie King, was a member of a prominent family of lawyers and academics, whose reputation and fortunes waxed and waned during Europe's religious wars in the 17th century, especially the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. Above and beyond her standing as a member of that family, she was a Scottish burgess in her own right and a friend and intimate of several significant figures in early British political history.
