Description - The Staffords by John Martin Robinson
One of the most important dynasties of medieval England, the Staffords have a fascinating story that illustrates a large sweep of social and religious history, as the title descended, in effect, through five successive families: the Norman de Toenis, the Bagots, a cadet line of the Howards of Norfolk, the Jerninghams and finally the Fitzherberts, who hold the barony today. There is one constant in the storyâa Stafford held Stafford Castle in the 12th century and Lord Stafford holds it today. The author is a very distinguished historian, who illuminates an entertaining narrative with a surprising selection of pictures and portraits.
