Notes about Humphrey de Stafford

Stafford Castle Ruins, Stafford, Staffordshire, England1347

A wooden castle was originally built on the site in the 1070s by the Norman Lord Robert de Tosny who had been given land by William of Normandy in order to control the still hostile and rebellious native Anglo-Saxon community. Shortly before the castle was built Eadric the Wild had led a failed rebellion which culminated in the defeat of the Saxons at the battle of Stafford in 1069. The first development was built in the classic Motte and Bailey style. Sir Ralph de Stafford sealed a contract with a master mason in 1347, ordering a castle to be built on the castle mound. The rectangular stone Keep originally had a tower in each corner, but was later adapted, with a fifth tower being added on in the middle of the North Wall (facing west). Some three years later, Ralph, who had been one of the King's leading commanders in the first phases of the Hundred Years' War, was created first Earl of Stafford,
