The only surviving child of Francis Walsingham, the queen’s Principal Secretary and spymaster, Frances married the poet and soldier Sir Philip Sydney in 1583.

Nach ihrem Tod kümmerte er sich um seinen Stiefsohn Christopher , den Anne mit in die Ehe gebracht hatte. 1566 heiratete er Ursula St. Barbe , Witwe von Sir Richard Worsley , mit der er zwei Töchter hatte, Frances und Mary.
