STAFFORD, Ralph (d.1410), of Grafton, Worcs.

Submitted by legacy on
Family and Education
2nd s. of Sir John Stafford (d.c.1370) of Bramshall, Staffs. by his 2nd w. Margaret, 4th da. of Ralph, earl of Stafford (d.1372); bro. of Sir Humphrey I. m. c. Aug. 1373, Maud (b. 2 Feb. 1359), da. and coh. of Sir John Hastang (d.1366) of Leamington Hastang, Warws. and Grafton, prob. 2s.CIPM, xiv. 63; CCR, 1369-74, pp. 584, 590-1, 608; 1374-7, pp. 121-3; C137/79/38. Certain aspects of Stafford’s pedigree as given in Genealogist, n.s. xxxi. 173-5 and Staffs. Parl. Hist. i (Wm. Salt Arch. Soc.), 52-53, 162-3, remain undocumented, although it is clear from various settlements of property made by Sir Humphrey Stafford II that his father and the subject of this biography were brothers (Wm. Salt Arch. Soc. n.s. iv. 206-7). A John, son of Ralph Stafford of Longridge, gentleman, occurs during the early 15th century, and as the MP had land in this part of Staffordshire these references are probably to his second son (ibid. xvii. 8, 17, 21). inc. Humphrey.
