  • Notes 
    • From Wikitree: "Nicolas was born about 1547. A few notes from Wikpedia as citied below: "Hilliard, a goldsmith apprenticed himself to the Queen's jeweller Robert Brandon, a goldsmith and city chamberlain of London...After his seven years' apprenticeship, Hilliard was made a freeman of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths in 1569. He set up a workshop with his younger brother John; another brother was also a goldsmith, and the youngest a clergyman.

      He married Brandon's daughter Alice (1556–1611) in 1576 and they had seven children."

      He passed away in 1619."

      His work was quite renowned at the time. He painted a portrait of the Queen of Scots as an example.
