Andrew Keith

Andrew Keith (floruit 1613) was a Scottish courtier known for fighting at Heidelberg Castle. Keith was a servant in the household of Princess Elizabeth, daughter of King James and Anne of Denmark. The appointments of Keith as Master of Horse and James Sandilands, as Master of Household, were noted by commentators as coveted places given to Scottish men who were not of high noble status. In 1612 he bought a "white gray" horse for Elizabeth, costing £40. Another servant or courtier in Elizabeth's household, Corbett Bushell, paid £28 for a "dapple grey stone" horse. In 1613 Keith was an equerry and Master of the Horse to Elizabeth, now Electress Palatine at Heidelberg Castle.
