	Francis Russell, 2nd Earl of Bedford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He assisted to quell the rising in Devonshire in 1549, and after his father had been created Earl of Bedford in January 1550, was known as Lord Russell, taking his seat in the House of Lords under this title in 1552.
		Russell was in sympathy with the reformers, whose opinions he shared, and was in communication with Sir Thomas Wyatt; and in consequence of his religious attitude was imprisoned during the earlier part of Mary’s reign.
		Bedford, who was made a knight of the garter in 1564, was Lord Warden of the Stannaries from 1553 to 1580.

	Francis Drake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Drake was reportedly named after his godfather Francis Russell, 2nd Earl of Bedford, but throughout his cousins' lineages are direct connections to the Royalty and famous persons such as Sir Richard Grenville through Amy Grenville and Geoffrey Chaucer through Ursula Stafford.
		Francis Drake was born in Tavistock, Devon, the son of Mary or Elizabeth Mylwaye (Mildmay ?) and her husband Edmund Drake (1518–1585), a Protestant farmer (who later became a preacher) and grandson of John Drake and Margaret Cole.
		Francis was the second eldest of twelve children; but as he was not granted legal right to his father's farm, he had to find his own career.

	Spotlight on Longbredy
		The matter is confused by the fact that, in the Tudor period, the manorial estate was bought by Francis (Russell) 2nd Earl of Bedford in the belief that it had belonged to his ancestors.
		The surprisingly close proximity of Kingston Farm and Kingston Russell Farm is explained by the past establishment of farmhouses in these northern parts of both manors.
		On the west it is in pant separated from Longbredy by the narrow strip of Kingston Russell; the two Winterbornes, Abbas and Steepleton, are north-eastern neighbours, while Portesham lies to the south-east.

	Sir John RUSSELL of Strensham
		Russell was brought up in the household of Francis Russell, 2nd Earl of Bedford, with whom the family claimed kinship.
		Russell appears to have attempted to use this disclosure against his father-in-law, but no corroboration of the priest's statement was forthcoming and there was evidently no prosecution.
		Russell's friends later asserted that Sheldon by his power in the county threatened Russell with ruin, but a fair part of the blame was apparently Russell's.

	artnet.com: Resource Library: Cure: (3) William Cure
		He probably neglected Whitehall because he was late in completing three tombs for Francis Russell, the future 4th Earl of Bedford, for which he had contracted in 1618; the tombs were almost certainly those of the 4th Earl himself, the 2nd Earl and Anne, Countess of Warwick (Chenies, St Michael, Bedford Chapel).
		From June 1619 until the end of February 1621 Cure’s wages were suspended because he had failed to undertake the mason’s work on the King’s new Banqueting House in Whitehall, London, and in 1622 it was said that he had continued to be ‘careless and negligent’ about the royal works elsewhere.
		He was also responsible for the memorial to Sir Roger Aston and his Two Wives (1612–13, Cranford, Middx, St Dunstan), which has kneeling effigies in a setting derived from the canopy of the Mary, Queen of Scots memorial.
