• Sir Bernard Drake (c.1537 – 10 April 1586) was an Elizabethan sea captain.
• He was the eldest son of John Drake, gentleman, of Ash in the parish of Musbury, Devon, and his wife, Amy, daughter of Sir Roger Grenville. Richard Drake was his brother. He was a first cousin of Roger Grenville, who was captain of the Mary Rose when it sank in 1545 and father of Sir Richard Grenville, the Elizabethan explorer. Sir Bernard's aunt, Alice Drake, married Walter Raleigh and became the step-mother of Sir Walter Raleigh, the explorer and poet. Bernard Drake was a second cousin of William Pole, the antiquary. Bernard was possibly also a distant kinsman of Sir Francis Drake, the circumnavigator; the existence of such a kinship was a controversy even during their lifetimes. Bernard succeeded his father in 1558.
• .... etc.
• At an unknown date, Drake married Gertrude Fortescue, daughter of Bartholomew Fortescue, of Filleigh, North Devon, and sister of Richard Fortescue (d. 1570) in whose memory he erected a monumental brass in Filleigh Church, by Ellen, daughter of Morris Moore and Cecily Bonville (a granddaughter of Lord Bonville); they had six children:
  • Hugh Drake, who died in Portugal in 1589, sine prole;
  • John Drake, of Mount Drake & Ashe, (d. 1628), who married Dorothy (d. 1631), daughter of William Button, of Aston, Wiltshire; their son, Sir John Drake of Ashe (d. 1636), married Eleanor, daughter of John Boteler, 1st Baron Boteler of Brantfield, and was the maternal grandfather of John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough;

Dear Karen,
Thank you for the heroic typing job on the Drake entry from Burke.

   If I had typed that my arm would be falling off or I would wish it

   would.

Unfortunately, Burke is not generally considered a reliable source,

   especially as he or they quote no sources.

But even if Burke were a totally reliable source, I do not see anything

   which indicates that John of Windsor is connected to that family. This

   is something which still needs to be proved. I do not believe that this

   is going to happen. But I am not infallible either.
