 Meaning of the Staffordshire Knot
The Stafford family standard illustrated here features the swan badge believed to have been used by the family from their earliest days in England (they were of the richly rewarded de Tosny castle building clan that came across with Duke William), and the famous Stafford knot.
The origin of the Stafford Knot is shrouded in the mists of antiquity, but it can be said that the somewhat barbaric tale of a certain sheriff who invented it to hang three criminals with one rope at the same time, may be dismissed as an effort of the imagination.
Her personal possessions passed to her nephew, Humphrey, Earl of Stafford, who adopted the Knot of Rope, henceforward to be known as the Stafford Knot, as his badge, probably just preceding his creation as Duke of Buckingham in 1444.
