Ursula St. Barbe

Ursula St. Barbe

Ursula St. Barbe (died 1602) (aka Ursula, Lady Worsley and Ursula, Lady Walsingham) was a lady at the court of Queen Elizabeth I of England. The daughter of John St. Barbe from Somerset, she first married Sir Richard Worsley, who was the captain of the Isle of Wight. After his death, she married Sir Francis Walsingham in 1566. With him she had a daughter, Frances. During his time as an ambassador to France, in 1572, the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre took place. His house in Paris acted as a refuge for Protestants during this event. As soon as it was deemed safe, she and her daughter fled to England, where she was reunited with her husband in April 1573.
