Francis Drake was an explorer. I don't recall learning about him studying the stars but it is possible. Back during that time period astronomy and astrology were very much intertwined. Also Francis Drake BEAT the Spanish Armada he did not lead it. Francis Drake was English not Spanish.

I'm wondering if you might mean Sir Francis Bacon, of Elizabethan times.
The foremost scholar Sir Francis Bacon, famous for his secret cryptology, was concerned with magic when it dealt with what was hidden, or 'occult'.

This site also mentions other astrologers of the period.
