		Stafford is a town or "borough," not a city, and it is still surrounded by its medieval walls.
		Staffords have been there for centuries, but this is about all that remains of the Stafford estates, most of which were taken away when the Baron's grandfather was executed on a trumped-up charge of treason by Henry VIII.
		The castle is hidden in the trees on top of the hill to the west, and the town is about half a mile to the east - and we could see it if it wasn't for all the trees in the way.

		Their son, Humphrey (1402-1460), the first Stafford duke of Buckingham, was placed by his descent and his possessions in the front rank of the English nobility.
		The Staffords fell from their pinnacle of greatness, which had aroused the jealousy of the Crown, by the attainder of Henry the 2nd duke in 1483, but were completely restored for the time, on the triumph of Henry VII.

		Stafford died intestate on 1 Jan 1566 and on 11 Apr 1567 letters of administration were issued to Richard Tise of Southwark, a merchant taylor.
