    Notes:

    As Henry Stafford he was granted by the King, 20 Dec. 1522, several of the estates in Staffordshire and elsewhere, forfeited by his father. This grant was confirmed by Act of Parliament, 14 and 15 Hen. VIII.

    Though still "corrupted in blood," he received a further grant of the castle and manor of Stafford, 15 July 1531, being there described as Henry, Lord Stafford, by which style he was thereafter generally known.

    In a petition for restoration of blood, 1529, he states that Wolsey had turned him out of his house in Sussex, where he had lived three years, and thereby compelled him "to board at an abbey this four years' day with his wife and seven children."

    On 5 Dec. 1532 he paid £20 as a fine to be excused from being Knight of the Bath. He wrote to Cromwell from Stafford, 2 Oct. 1538, that he had removed "the idol called of ignorant persons Saint Erasmus" and had "so used it that no man shall thereby offend in idolatry hereafter."

    He was admitted to Gray's Inn, 1528.

    He was a Bencher, Middle Temple, before 1551.

    His letter-book, 1545–53, with other MS. collections on his family history, is penes Lord Bagot. In 1548 he published The true dyfferes between ye regall power and the ecclesiasticall power (a translation of Fox's work of 1534), with a handsome dedication to Protector Somerset. His translation of two epistles of Erasmus was published in 1553, though no copy can now be traced (Strype, Eccles. Mem., volume iii, pt. 1, page 180). He also translated from the French by Treherne a work on forests, which is extant in Stowe MS. 414, folios 203–26. An epitaph by him on his sister, the Duchess of Norfolk, in Lambeth church, is printed in Horace Walpole's Royal and Noble Authors, ed. Park, volume ii, pages 10–11.

    Admon. was granted 23 June 1563, to Ursula, his relict.

    Birth:
    The Register from which this date is taken was begun by Edward, Lord Stafford, 2 Jan. 1568/9, and forms part of the Stafford MSS. penes Lord Bagot, calendared in Hist. MSS. Com., 4th Rep., pages 325–28. Henry is confused with his uncle "Lord Harry of Stafforth" (created Earl of Wiltshire, 27 Jan. 1509/10) by Gairdner in The Paston Letters, volume iii, page 404, note 1.

    Hereditary Title:
    By Act of Parliament (Nov.–Dec. 1547) 1 Edw. VI, with remainder to the heirs male of his body.

    He was summoned to Parliament accordingly, 24 Nov. (1548) 2 Edw. VI, being placed last among the Barons.

    On 12 Feb. 1557/58, by resolution of the House of Lords, he was restored to the precedency of his ancestors, Barons Stafford, and was placed after Lord Talbot.

    This creation of 1547 was unquestionably a new one, nor were there any words therein to give it the precedence due to the old Barony. The limitation to heirs male of the grantee was also different from that of the Barony created by the writ of 1298/99; yet as was often the case (see The Complete Peerage, 2nd ed., volume I, Appendix C), the House of Lords allowed the grantee the precedency enjoyed by his ancestor.

    It seems almost certain that "Henricus Stafford, armiger," who had been M.P. for Stafford, Jan. 1544/45 to Jan. 1546/47, and was re-elected to this Parliament, 13 Oct. 1547, was his bastard brother, another Henry Stafford, or, less probably, his son Henry, later 2nd Lord Stafford.

    Office:
    In consideration of his service in the late rebellion of the Duke of Northumberland he was granted, 10 July 1554, Thornbury Castle and other lands in co. Gloucester and elsewhere, formerly belonging to his father.

    Henry married Lady Ursula Pole in Feb. 1518/19. Ursula (daughter of Sir Richard Pole and Saint Margaret (Plantagenet), suo jure Countess of Salisbury) died on 12 Aug. 1570. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Catherine married Ralph (Neville), 4th Earl of Westmorland before June 1520. Ralph was born on 21 Feb. 1497/98; died on 24 April 1549; was buried in Staindrop, Co. Durham, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
