Notes:

On 22 May 1447, he had a grant of special precedence given him "before all Dukes who might thenceforward be created, excepting descendants of the King's body."

Hereditary Title:
He is called "Earl of Buckingham and Stafford," when created a Duke (1444) according to the recital of that creation in the Parliamentary settlement of his precedency. In an indenture 13 Feb. (1443/4) 22 Hen. VI he is styled "The Right Mighty Prince Humphrey, Earl of Buckingham, Hereford, Stafford, Northampton, and Perche, Lord of Brecknock and Holderness." He did not, however, add thereto the title of "Earl of Essex," though his grandfather, Thomas, Duke of Gloucester and Earl of Buckingham, had assumed that title, (as well as those of Hereford and Northampton) having married the daughter and co-heiress of Humphrey (de Bohun), Earl of Hereford, Essex, and Northampton. The Earldom of Perche was a foreign title and the Lordships of Brecknock and Holderness were not peerage dignities.

Hereditary Title:
The precedency belonging (chronologically) to this creation was interfered with by the creation of the Dukedom of Warwick, 5 April following, with precedence next after the Duke of Norfolk and before that of the Duke of Buckingham. The controversy thus raised was settled by Parliament giving to each Duke alternately, year and year about, the precedency. It was, however, terminated by the death, sine prole mascula, of the Duke of Warwick, 11 June 1446. See as to Precedency of Peers by Royal Warrant, The Complete Peerage, 2nd ed., volume I (1910), Appendix C.

Office:
He bought this office from the 2nd Lord Saye and Sele, who held it in fee.

Died:
He was a zealous Lancastrian, in which cause he was slain at the Battle of Northampton. With him were slain Thomas (Percy), Lord Egremont, father of his daughter's husband, and Viscount Beaumont.
