The armiger has published research indicating that the Drakes of Ashe were
originally from Warwickshire and ultimately descended in the male line from
Harold, feudal Lord of Ewias Harold, Herefordshire. Harold was the son of Ralph,
preconquest Earl of Hereford, and grandson of Drogo, Count of Mantes, who was
descended in the male line from the ancient Counts of Amiens and Vexin.
