Sir Francis Drake got married twice through out his life time. At the young age of twenty five, he fell in love with and married Mary Newman, whom he was married to for seventeen years. In the year 1583 AD, Mary died with an unexpected death. Two years later in 1585 AD, Sir Francis Drake moved on and married Elizabeth Sydenham. Not only was Elizabeh one of the wealthiest women in England at the time, but she also came from a much more influential family than Drake's previous wife, Mary. Francis did not have children from either of his wives and therefore was not to have someone continue his journeys after his death.
