Sir Edward Stafford (1552 – 5 February 1605) was an English Member of Parliament, courtier, and diplomat to France during the time of Queen Elizabeth I. He was involved in abortive negotiations for a proposed marriage between Elizabeth and Francis, Duke of Anjou. After he was appointed ambassador to Paris in 1583, he took money from Henry I, Duke of Guise in return for access to diplomatic correspondence. Wikipedia
