http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/STAFFORD2.htm#Ursula%20STAFFORD1

Richard Drake obtained a Court appointment as Equerry to Queen Elizabeth <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/aboutElizabeth.htm> in 1577, and bought an estate in Esher. He received a ransom of 2,500 pounds for a distinguished Spanish prisoner who was captured after the defeat of the Armada and housed with Richard Drake for four-and-a half years until his exchange with an English prisoner in the hands of the Spaniards. The family of Drake of Shardeloes in Buckinghamshire are descendants of this Richard.

Ursula married Richard Drake Esq. [59126] [MRIN: 551616130].
